    The Gracious Father

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jun 22, 2015
     | 3,886 views

    Fathers are to protect their children from dangers, train, exemplify, and urge them to follow Jesus — but they must eventually release them and allow them to choose or not choose to follow Jesus.

    The Gracious Father (Luke 15:11-32) 1. Marylu and I had a great time visiting Hannah and Clayton in Virginia, near DC. 2.

Miguel Agustin Pro Today, in the glaring light of our proclamation on Sunday that Jesus Christ is the King of the Universe, we are invited to consider the virtues of those who will be found worthy to live forever in that marvelous, unimaginably ...read more

    This Christmas Eve Meditation focused on the example the Wisemen set for us in following the star to find Jesus. What can we learn from how they followed the star and worshipped Christ?

     | 5,635 views

    The power of God to live as Jesus’ followers is a blank check for good in a chaotic and dangerous world.

    Bad things happen. Bad things happen to good people, and bad things happen to bad people. Bad things happen. Sometimes the cause is obvious: greed and hatred, poverty and ignorance, all cause suffering in greater or lesser degrees, and we can point to sin as the reason. But sometimes the deaths ...read more

     | 2,817 views

    Pastor Dave asks the questions, “How does the way the average Christ-follower manages his/her life differ from that of the average non-Christ-follower? Or is there a difference?” It comes down to whether or not we really believe that God changes lives.

     | 9,709 views

    To be a follower of Christ is almost certain to be costly. Many turn from following Christ because they fear what it may cost. They are willing to be religious, but hesitate to embrace discipleship. We are called to embrace dangerous discipleship.

So, the chief priests made plans to put Lazarus to death as well, because on account of him many of the Jews were going away and ...read more

    Three men each making a statement regarding his commitment or lack of commitment to following Christ. Each wanted to follow Christ; none wanted to stop looking back. Their commitment can be described as limited, delayed, and insincere.

    Don’t Look Back Luke 9:57-62 Would you consider yourself a committed Christian? Realistically, are you a disciple of Christ or merely a follower of Christ? There is a difference.
