    Ezekiel prophesies to the mountains and uses some strong language to describe the false gods and idolatry of God

    In Ezekiel chapter 6, Ezekiel’s dramatic visual aids are lessened. Except for his facing the mountains of Israel in a symbolic fashion, this text is pretty much proclamation of God’s message without much dramatization. The message, however, remains strong and powerful. This was a ...read more

    A message about why the Spirit gave those first Christians the ability to speak in other languages.

    Pentecost #3 - Tongues Acts 2:1-21 Some people find the story of Pentecost quite difficult & disturbing - why?

    In all their colors, shapes, sizes, languages, and ages, human beings are amazing - and related to one another!

    I am a people watcher.
