    Last week we started looking at the question “What is Gods’ Will for me? And we saw the very first thing that; 1. In order to be in God’s Will I must first be saved. There is no Will without a personal relationship with Jesus Christ… 2. God’s Will is that I be Spirit ...read more

    Annie Dillard is one of my favorite authors. In her book Teaching a Stone to Talk, she writes: “You don’t have to sit outside in the dark. If, however, you want to look at the stars, you will find that darkness is required. The stars neither require it or demand it.” Darkness is a part of the ...read more

    Jesus Anti-Evangelism Series

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Mar 16, 2024
     | 643 views

    In John's Gospel, Jesus does something many people find surprising, that of frequently driving away people who claim to be believers in Him. Today we look in depth at those He drove away in John 8, why He did it, and especially how He did it by claiming to be the Great I AM!

    Our move now through the Lenten Season, and to the cross has a purpose: to confront people to make a decision about what they think about Jesus. The TRUE Jesus. This week, we focus on the foolishness of the cross to those who want to accept Him on their own terms. In 1 Cor 1: 18 The word of the ...read more

    What kind of faith does it take to turn the head of Jesus? The Roman officer had it and so can we.

    Last week we were introduced to Levi who changed his name to Matthew. As you recall Levi meant “joined in harmony” but as a tax collector he was unable to live up to his name. After Jesus made him the offer to become a follower he referred to himself as Matthew, meaning “a gift to ...read more
