What are you? Fan, Follower or Disciple! The cost of being a disciple is very high so are the stakes. If you are so, then for starters are you being Christ’s hands, feet, ears and hands? Are you …?

Opening illustration: Watch a video clip on Follower or Disciple. Introduction: In Luke 9: 23 it says, “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me.” I think many of you will usher this word, because you are ready to move to a different level of ...read more

The Sacred Cow

Contributed by John A. Peck on Nov 3, 2009

We don’t have high regard for cows in our culture. Even the term, sacred cow, is funny to us. However, God has given cows a special place in the Holy Scriptures.

One of my favorite Far Side cartoons shows a herd of cattle standing at a fence, facing a leader. In the background is a large urban city in flames. In the caption, the leader cow is saying, “Evidently, Agent (some number) has accomplished her mission.” Cows. Even the word is funny. We don’t ...read more

A Glimpse Of Glory – The Transfiguration Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jul 28, 2023

The transfiguration fits with the theme of what Jesus was trying to get over to his disciples, that he must die and they must be prepared. Jesus took three disciples and led them up the high mountain.

Have you ever had what you would describe as a mountaintop spiritual experience? A time when you felt so close to God you just caught a glimpse of glory.

I love the Gospel of Mark … well, I love all the gospels … but Mark reminds me of Joe Friday from the 1950s TV series “Dragnet.” Some of us older folks remember Sargent Friday’s famous signature line: “Just the facts.” Mark’s gospel is terse and to the point.
