    An obscure verse in the Book of Zechariah describes the wounds in the hands of Jesus and the circumstances that caused those wounds. Great lead in to the Lord's Supper.

    One of the most difficult things for people in the 21st Century to do or so it seems is to have an accurate view of themselves. This question, asked by a demon, brings us face to face with reality.

    Who Are You Acts 19:11-20 • There is an old story that I’ve heard, read, and told many times. It’s about a fellow named Bill who was always bragging about who he knew and how he was friends with many popular and powerful people. He said to his boss one day, "You name anyone you ...read more

    The strains of life for many of us can be difficult. You may ask, with all the success Simone Biles has had, her success, with so much to be proud of, how she could possibly have so many struggles.

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Mar 17, 2023
     | 2,057 views

    I’ll bet not one of you can tell me exactly what happened to the disciples after that first Easter morning, and in what order. And it’s not surprising. I would have had a hard time putting together a chronology of events if I hadn’t had to preach on the subject, and even then there’s a little ...read more

    When you know you’ll have to depend on your friends when your luck goes sour, you build in as much good will as you can along the way.”

    Levi was puzzled. The last time Jesus told a story about a rich man whose steward was mismanaging the estate while the owner was away, the owner kicked the guy out and brought in a new men.
