    It’s Time For A Spiritual Audit – Philippians 3:7-10 Series

    Contributed by Scott Turansky on Apr 2, 2022
     | 4,502 views

    What do we value? What do we strive for, day to day? And the interesting challenge here is that even when we value good things (e.g., loving our family, helping others), they don’t come close to who Jesus is.

    A couple of weeks ago I was looking at my credit card balance, and it was much higher than I expected it to be. So I knew I needed to do a little audit there myself. I checked it out and realized that some of these charges aren't even mine. So I called the credit card company and we together ...read more

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Aug 21, 2023
     | 1,078 views

    Statistically, in St. Matthew’s Gospel, words and expressions which emphasize obedience, the doing of God’s will, are among his favorite.

    Nikos Kazantzakis was a tortured Greek writer who was constantly haunted by God.

At one and the same time Jesus affirmed the rights of the state and freedom of conscience to worship and serve God. By allowing Caesar to collect taxes, Jesus opposes the Pharisees by acknowledging ...read more

    Several times the sparrow flew at the closed window and smacked itself into it, until it got so weak it could no longer fly; it only could walk.

    Pastor Don Friesen tells a fascinating story about a sparrow that somehow got into the rafters of St. Helen’s Parish Church in the English town of Brant Broughton. At the time of the intrusion, they were recording a guitar recital for later broadcast on the radio. The chirping bird didn’t exactly ...read more

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Aug 8, 2025
     | 258 views

    Jesus is coming for you when he is ready, not when you get ready.

    Our Gospel parable today of the Supervising Servant tells us that everybody has a day when we will be judged immediately after death, but the day and time is unspecified, and so Jesus is giving a series of admonitions saying to be prepared and vigilant. Jesus probably delivered the parable as a ...read more

     | 178 views

    After fifteen years of waiting, the moment finally arrives—but it doesn't look like a Hollywood coronation. David is crowned in Hebron, a partial fulfillment that tests his stewardship of the small before he receives the great.

    The Day the Waiting Ends You know what's remarkable about the moment David finally becomes king? After everything. After the anointing in his father's house. After the years in the cave. After sparing Saul's life twice. After leading broken people in obscurity. After fighting ...read more

    Jesus again repeats Himself in Matthew 25, and He tells us another parable to get us ready for the end times. He tells a different story with the same point. Will we get it this time?

    You know something is important when someone repeats it a second time. You can also know if something is important when they say the same thing again, but in a different way, so that if you didn’t get it the first time, you might get it the second time. It can be a technique that we can be quite ...read more

    “You will all fall away,” Jesus told them, “for it is written: “‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’”

    What was your darkest moment in life? When did you hit a sort of rock bottom? I can think a few of moments in my life. I remember when I was 17 years old, I was downstairs in my parents basement.
