     | 245 views

    The Radical Call of the Gospel: This message is not about what the world teaches, but what Jesus demonstrates. The cross teaches us that mercy triumphs over judgment.

    Go! And Respond with Grace - Romans 12:17–21 Imagine standing at the foot of a beautiful mountain. The sun is shining, the breeze is gentle. Then, someone throws a stone at you. In that moment, your instinct is to throw it back. But what if, instead, you smiled, picked up the stone, and built a ...read more

    Happy New Year! Only 4 hours and __minutes to go. I’m sure that most of us will be happy to see 2001 go and hope that 2002 will be a better year.

    Jesus calls the overlooked blessed, inviting us to trust God in our need and to love others radically, reflecting His kingdom in everyday life.

    Friend, if your week has left you weary, your heart hungry, or your eyes wet, you are in good company. Jesus knows the language of low places. He lifts His eyes toward the faces that feel forgotten and speaks blessing. He sees the empty pantry and the tear-stained pillow. He sees the moments you ...read more

    Missed opportunities. The King dismisses those on his left into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels because they did not do the six actions that those on the right had done.

    The story is told of a farmer who received a visit from one of his city relatives. Before dinner the farmer bowed his head and said grace. His relative jeered, "This is old-fashioned; nobody with an education prays at the table anymore. The farmer admitted the practice was old and even ...read more

    This message takes a look at the themes that runs throughout the book of First Peter - separation and suffering.

    Are You A Separatist As I was putting together my notes, it brought me back to when I was in grade school. I can remember my teacher, as we were learning how to spell different words, she would say “Sound the word out and then go look it up in the dictionary.” As many times as I sounded the word ...read more

    When called to go, Abraham obeyed and went. As God calls us into his glorious kingdom, he invites us to a life full of challenge, surprise and adventure!

    I have to be honest with you… when I was a kid I had a really wrong-headed idea of what the Christian faith was all about. I thought that being a Christian meant giving up a life of fun & excitement in order to come, sit on a pew and be a good boy. • I’m not sure where that notion came from… maybe ...read more

    A famous actor was invited to a dinner party. After the main course, the actor was asked if he would be willing to recite a piece of poetry for the guests.

    The actor readily agreed and asked if someone at the dinner table would like to suggest what he should recite. There was a deadly hush until an old clergyman raised his hand and said: “May I ask you to recite the 23rd Psalm?” The actor was rather taken back but agreed, saying: “I will recite Psalm ...read more

    When we feel exhausted and overwhelmed, God invites us to trust Him, wait on Him, and receive renewed strength for each day.

    Some of us walked in today with a quiet question humming beneath the surface: How much longer can I keep this up? The calendar is crowded, the to-do list grows fangs, and sleep feels like a stranger. Parents, professionals, students, caregivers—such faithful folks—yet even you can feel thin at the ...read more

    Jesus invites us to bring our deepest, honest desires to Him in prayer, trusting His compassion and power to transform our lives.

    If you could hear Jesus ask you one question today—face to face, heart to heart—what would you hope He’d ask? And if He asked, “What do you want me to do for you?” what would rise to your lips before you could filter it—before fear, pride, or past disappointments edited your answer? Some of us ...read more

     | 5,830 views

    God invites us to follow him. He does not command us to do what he has not done. He sets himself as the example for our actions.

    THE GODS we worship write their names on our faces, be sure of that. And a man will worship something —have no doubt about that, either. He may think that his tribute is paid in secret in the dark recesses of his heart—but it will out. That which dominates will determine his life and ...read more

    Moses invited his brother-in-law to join them, because 1). they served a good God, Who 2.) blessed His people in this life, and Who 3.) planned a fabulous future for His people. We should invite others to know this wonderful God!

    If we really want the presence of Jesus we must put a demand upon him, He is always passing by but he will only come in where he is invited.

    II Ki 4:8 And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread. (KJV) THE PROPHET = THE WORD OF GOD constrained (KJV) 2388 chazaq (khaw-zak’); a primitive ...read more

    based on 9 ratings
     | 15,537 views

    This is a deeper look at the translation "no room for them in the inn." It is not about there not being enough "space for lodging' but turns to become more about there not being enough "hospitality" for Joseph, Mary, and Jesus.

    “the inn hospitality” “And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.” Luke 2:7 (NKJV) Intro: There has been much deliberation and speculation over the whereabouts ...read more
