Although Peter is seen as an outspoken member of Jesus' Inner Circle, this message reveals the degree of Peter's faith in Who Jesus is and shows us what truly was in his heart.
Matthew 14:29-31 Peter was oftentimes outspoken and yes, sometimes his mouth got him into trouble. On this occasion, though, his mouth opened up the door to an opportunity to reveal the strength of his faith.

Salt & Light
Salt & Light Scripture: Matthew 5:13-16. Jesus said to his disciples: “You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its taste, with what can it be seasoned?

This myth has effectively crippled much evangelism in the West in our time because we actually believe it and operate as if it were true. And it is not.
What myth? Anyone in church leadership in the West knows that to a great extent, the growth of active Christians in a Christian community (of whatever sort—big church, little church, home church, store front church and so on) has diminished and flattened out. The reason is that we in the Western ...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!

Finding rest & contentment in uncertain times by following the invitation of Jesus to "Come to Me"
When we look at the first part of our text today we see Jesus talking to the people about living in a world of uncertainty, living a life of restlessness without peace and surety. “We played the flute and you didn’t dance, we played a funeral march and you didn’t weep and cry.” John Lived out in ...read more

Did Manasseh have problems because they didn't put their faith to work? Let's look at Joshua 17.

Where was the inheritance of the half tribe of Manasseh east of the Jordan River? Then allotment was made to the people of Manasseh, for he was the firstborn of Joseph. To ...read more
To convict someone who died in the thirteenth century for actions that were considered heroic and kingly then, but that some people take offense to today is particularly ironic.
Tuesday of the 21st Week in Course 2020 It’s providential that the Church has given us a series of hard-hitting readings during the past month–hard-hitting but full of the Trinity’s love and compassion.
