    Following Jesus: Not Safe But Saved

     | 2,872 views

    Jesus calls us to be fishers of men, to follow him. He doesn't call us to lives of safety, but of salvation.

    This story that we have in the gospel reading for today is one that makes me smile because I feel like I know exactly what Simon is thinking here in this moment. I have had days like this fishing. Days where I’ve been out for hours and hours and there’s just nothing. And we tried everything, ...read more

    A Christian man was making plans to leave the country. He went to apply for a passport, and he was told that before he could receive a passport he had to produce evidence of his birth.

    He was stunned when the woman looked at him and asked him to do such a thing. He asked, "My standing before you is not evidence that I have been born?" She said, "No, you will have to bring your birth certificate or something comparable to a birth certificate to show proof of ...read more

    How To Be Good Without Being A Hypocrite Series

    Contributed by Art Campbell on Aug 8, 2022
     | 2,248 views

    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

    Scripture is a blessing that many of us take for granted, a tool that will establish us well for spiritual battles and develop us as individuals in life and in character.

    We are blessed to live in part of the world where we are able to still share scripture openly. There are countries in where the sharing of God’s word is illegal, where people would love to have access to read the Bible openly but do not. There are other places where the Bible is held in very high ...read more

     | 548 views

    As strange as it may sound, even after years of captivity there were false prophets in the land of Israel. Nehemiah had to deal not only with rebuilding Jerusalem but also with a number of these false prophets!

    Introduction: False prophets didn’t die out when all Israel was carried off to captivity. At least two are mentioned by name, plus there was an unspecified group of other false prophets. All of them had one common goal, though, and that was to get Nehemiah discouraged, or as he put it, “[they] ...read more

    The Ten Bridesmaids story is an answer to the question of the disciples in Matthew 24:3. With the current wars, and protests, warnings about WWIII, people are again asking: When will the end come? Jesus simply says: "Watch and be prepared."

    In Jesus Holy Name November 12, 2023 Text: Matthew 25:10b,13 “The Missing Bride at the Wedding” This is a great parable about the danger of being unprepared. I know there have been weddings that I officiated, but the “bride” was 30 or 45 minutes late, so everyone just waited. ...read more
