    explanation of the season of Lent

    WHAT IS LENT? Last Wednesday we celebrated Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the season of Lent.

    God is Holy and will destroy anything unholy but God loves people who are sinners, so He provided a way to come back to Him through Jesus Christ!

    Let’s continue to worship our Lord Jesus Christ by learning from the Letter to the Hebrews. Today we finish Chapter 12 as we prepare our hearts for Communion. We read from Hebrews 11, men and women who were faithful to God in spite of hardships and we will note this again in our passage today. God ...read more

    we spend too much time waiting for things to happen; we have to make them happen

    This morning I woke up as ‘Downer deni’, disgusted because I felt like I had to wait until I could get anything done! Waiting colored my entire mood dark grey! As I looked out the window, Columbus was covered in thick grey clouds - not a sun ray was to be found. My wrist, badly sprained in a stupid ...read more

    Turn to John 9:1-7 John=book of signs; 7 to show Jesus was the Messiah, son of God; this is the 6th Jesus has already declared in the previous ch that he is the light & that he has come to penetrate & push back the darkness. Now he chooses a specific event to illustrate his power over darkness in ...read more

    We generate history, not by politics and war, but by service to the poor and helpless.

    Thursday of the 30th Week in Course 2016 Joy of the Gospel Every time we turn a page in the New Testament, we are–if we are sensitive–struck by how counter-intuitive the Christian message is. Consider St. Paul’s life. He was, by his own account, a super-Jew. He observed every ...read more

    GETTING RID OF OUR PAST SIN IS AS EASY AS REMEMBERING THAT JESUS NAILED IT TO HIS CROSS

    NAILED TO THE CROSS--Colossians: 2:13-15 One of the things that frustrate me the most about the Christian Life is listening to defeated Christians. We either have habits in our life that we seem to think that we can’t overcome. Or we have placed so many added restrictions to our ...read more
