Red Letters: We Are The Good Samaritan

Contributed by Tom Davis on Aug 24, 2007

Jesus doesn’t want us to walk on the other side of the road when we’re confronted with the lame and lepers in our world.

How does Jesus expect us to live in the world? How does Jesus see the world? Recently I made a challenge to myself to focus on the “Red Letter” words of the Bible and live them out as best I could. To focus on how Jesus lived his earthly life. When he walked the streets of Jerusalem, Capernaum, ...read more

Good Friday: Behold Your Mother... Series

Contributed by Captain Emily Vincent on Jul 10, 2023

Jesus Only Speaks a few words while he is on the cross...this short sermon looks into what Jesus was going through during that time of sacrifice and pain...and what he says to the few disciples who witnessed this horrific event and the last words of their Rabbi...

There are only a few things that we have recorded of what Jesus said from the cross…and it’s interesting to note, because as I was preparing for today, I was trying to wrap my head around the things Jesus was going through at the time…of course there is absolutely no way for me to do this, because ...read more

How To Be Good Without Being A Hypocrite Series

Contributed by Art Campbell on Aug 8, 2022

It seems that the more strongly we hold moral views the more we insist others hold them as well, and the harder it is to live by them, and we get into this cycle of bullying, hypocrisy and moral failure. So how can we be good without being a hypocrite?

HYPOCRISY IN THE CHURCH When I was younger, the church pretty much had the corner on hypocrisy, at least as society told the story. People didn’t want to go to church because it was full of hypocrites. To which we sometimes replied, come on in then, we’ve room for more. And that’s not an unfair ...read more
