    Do Jesus's family values match ours?

    We often talk about the Church being a Family - which sounds all sweet and fluffy … until we read a passage like today’s Gospel. Given a choice between those who share his genes and those who share his faith, Jesus says “Here [point to congregation] are my mother, my sisters, my ...read more

     | 4,379 views

    Some have said that one man missed the celebration. The Inn Keeper missed the coming of the Messiah. In reality there was an Inn filled with people and a town who missed the celebration.

    “Missing the Celebration” Luke 2: 4-7 Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, the only Son of God. There were a number of people surrounding the birth that Christmas, like Mary, Joseph and the shepherds. Some have said that with one simple statement, Luke tells us of one man who ...read more

    Bartimaeus was the blind son of a blind father. His was a life without hope. Jesus transformed his entire life when He gave Bartimaeus his sight. Jesus is still transforming lives today by doing the impossible.

    Matthew 10:46-52 46 And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging.

    The idea of God hardening Pharaoh's heart gnaws at our sensibilities... but we know that the LORD is sovereign not only in His mercy, but also in His judgement.

    THE HARDENING OF PHARAOH’S HEART. Romans 9:17-18. The book of Genesis ends with a delightful illustration of how God works all things, even bad things, for the good of His people.

    God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit have done their part for all people to be able to celebrate!

    We noted last week from Luke 14 that selfish pride ignores God and will lead to troubles. The ultimate trouble of course is to be completely separated from God and be tormented with judgment forever. Sadly, many today do ignore God and this ultimate trouble may come to them soon. Do we see people ...read more
