    Post Resurrection Lull Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Mar 30, 2016
     | 10,391 views

    After the resurrection a group of disciples ended up fishing. When Jesus turns up 153 fish are caught. Through these verses we are reminded that we need to obey Jesus, even when obedience seems strange, because Jesus will give the resources.

    This message is taken from the Sermon on the Mount and looks at four sets of two choices given by Jesus as to where we'll spend eternity.

    Sermon on the Mount “There Are Only Two” Matthew 7:13-14 We all prefer to be given choices and the more choices we have the better we like it. But there are limits, which is evident when looking up and down the grocery aisle. • First you have the cereal aisle. You have at least ...read more

    Ordinarily a zealot like Simon would have killed a tax collector like Matthew - but he didn't. Why not?

    Gone Fishing

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Mar 17, 2023
     | 2,056 views

    What did the disciples do after Jesus' miraculous resurrection? They went fishing! But this passage teaches us that it’s okay to get on with our lives while waiting for Jesus to make it clear what it is we are to do for him.

    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.
