    "staying Connected"

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Apr 29, 2021
     | 6,707 views

    In order to imitate Jesus, demonstrate love, joy, etc we must "stay connected" to the Vine. I begin with a story of Oskar Schindler about connections. Through prayer, worship and the reading of God's word, listening to His voice will produce good deeds.

    In Jesus Holy Name May 1, 2021 Text: John 15:1-8 Easter V Redeemer “Staying Connected” It helps to have connections. Everybody knows it’s true. It’s not what you know, the cynic says, but WHO you know that makes a difference. In 1982 there was a wonderful book which was ...read more

    It is easy to forget to give thanks when things are going wrong. There is a beautiful story of the king's son that had a bad attitude. We may see through the fog, but God has a plan.

    Do You Get It?

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 11, 2023
     | 1,500 views

    There is nothing that Jesus cannot do. But we can only get the message if we don’t let ourselves be distracted by trivia, and if our relationship with God is healthy.

    One of the reasons people loved to listen to Jesus was that he talked about things they knew about, scenes and events from their everyday lives. But the lives of the people Jesus talked to can seem very far away from our own, sometimes. His illustrations don’t always mean that much to us. What’s ...read more

    This variety in responses mirrors how we approach God’s call in our lives. Just as our greetings reflect our readiness to engage, the way we respond to God's call—much like Isaiah did—reveals our willingness to serve and our openness to His divine purpose for us.

    Introduction: Hello, everyone. Different cultures have unique ways of answering the phone, reflecting their values and traditions.
