    When God Calls Us

    There is no blessing in serving God unless it begins with our being personally reconciled to Him. Such peace with God comes with a sacrifice - the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.

    For the fourth time Israel sinned, and God handed them over to their enemies, this time to the Midianites (6:1). God chastens His people’s sins. The familiar pattern of sinfollowed-by-chastening continued in Israel (see 3:7, 12; 4:1). Once again Israel’s predicament was a desperate one. The ...read more

    She was probably a single mom with a special needs child, and she desperately needed Jesus’ help.

    20A She was probably a single mom with a special needs child, and she desperately needed Jesus’ help. Jesus’ reaction to this desperate woman’s request is quite interesting. The truth is, he didn’t respond at all. His disciples certainly did not want anything to do with the woman, i.e. “Please ...read more

    God is always against those who are proud, and profit or power driven. He lifts up those who are humble and gracious. We, as His people, must always be the voice of the protection of the planet and the deliverance of the oppressed.

    Revelation 18 v. 9 and they shall weep and mourn about her, those kings of the earth who committed fornication with her and grew rich when they see the smoke of her burning. v. 10 they stayed a distance for fear of her torment, saying, “Woe!

    Holy Spirit Love For All

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 24, 2018
     | 4,420 views

    Saints do not let anyone tell you that you are a second class Christian because you do not speak in tongues or walk on fire or survive snake bites. Such testing and qualifying today is not of the Spirit but is of men not God. Without love I am nothing.

    Holy Spirit Love for All 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 Acts 10:44-48 Have you ever noticed that this Christian life does not always go according to the script that you and I think it should follow? Just like when you go to a live theater performance people forget their lines. Sometimes we as ...read more

    Jesus turned to his friends and kindly said, "No, don't send them away. Let the children come to me." "Whoever does not accept the Kingdom of God as a child does, will not be able to enter into it." Loving God is easy enough for a child to do.

    Good morning boys and girls! Has anyone ever told you to get lost or go away? |Has anyone ever told you that they didn’t want you around? How did that make you feel? There is one person who will never tell us to go away. In fact, he wants all of us to come close to him. His name is Jesus. ...read more

    Sermon for Advent 4, Year A. Sermon contrasts how Joseph could have treated Mary and how he actually acted toward her. Mary has a story (and thus Jesus) because Joseph listened with love and showed mercy.

    Preparing for 2020: Listening with Love I feel for Joseph. Not only because he’s often overlooked, but in some ways I understand what it’s like to be Joseph. In 1994 I found a new level of solidarity with Joseph. The children’s director concluded that the pastor’s grandson didn’t need a “speaking” ...read more
