After his resurrection, Christ repeatedly offers peace to his disciples. Christ understands our need for true peace.
So I want to start by taking a quick poll. We spent the six weeks of Lent searching for peace in an anxious world. And now I’m just curious…anybody feel like you’ve now achieved the greatest possible peace in your life? What about the disciples? Our Scripture reading from John ...read more

Good things happens to bad people, and the Gospel tells us that, but it is not fair, but what we don’t see, is God changing us for the better, refining us to do his will. It is all there in the bible.

I just can't believe it! Ever said that? That was a common response by those to whom Jesus appeared after his resurrection and it's still a rather common response by many today. Don't be surprised! Be ready!
“I can’t believe it!” Something extraordinary, something unusual, something unexpected happens and we exclaim, “I can’t believe it!” “I can’t believe its snowing…again!” “I can’t believe they actually won the game!” “I can’t believe I passed the test.” “I can’t believe I got the job!” “I ...read more

In this teaching, we look at what faith IS and what it is NOT.
Last week we started a new teaching series we entitled, “Faith: the currency of Heaven”.

If we are going to do business with God, and receive all that Jesus ...read more

Following Jesus' crucifixion, the disciples hid within the Upper Room, fearful of the Jews and uncertain of their future. In their time of need, Jesus came, standing their midst, while speaking to their situation. I am thankful He remains in the midst of our struggles as well.
In the midst of our Struggles John 20: 19-29 As believers, we are aware that Jesus will never leave us, nor will He ever forsake us. Those who have been saved by His grace are indwelt with the Holy Spirit. He is our constant companion and guide. While we may not always be aware of the Lord’s ...read more

The disciplines hid in fear after the crucifixion. How could they continue, even survive when all appeared lost. How can we face the world when we are in that same bad place?

Sometimes, it just isn’t possible to shake a nickname. One of my favorite athletes, Landon Donovan, has that problem.

Today’s scripture is the basis for the introduction of Doubting Thomas. . . a term that has been used in both the sacred and secular world since the time of the earliest Christians. But maybe he should be a called 'Searching Thomas' as well as 'Doubting Thomas'. Let’s set the ...read more
