Another Ugly Good Friday

Contributed by John Nadasi on Apr 20, 2007

This is a response to the Virginia Tech murders. It examines our response as Christians and as responsible firearm owners. It also questions what we can do to be part of the solution. Although it is a manuscript, there is a lot to be ad-libbed in this.

Fishing In Galilee

Contributed by Revd. Martin Dale on Apr 21, 2007

What can we learn from the fishing expedition?

Jn 21:1-19 Introduction As I mentioned on Easter Sunday, John records only four of the Post Resurrection appearances of Jesus. I think his reason for doing so is that the aim of his book is to awaken faith – and not to be JUST a historical record of the times of Jesus. This does not mean that ...read more

Contributed by Doane Brubaker on May 3, 2007

Jesus’ question to Peter, "Do you love me more than these?" could be taken in at least three ways, each posing an important challenge to look closely at our own devotion to the Savior.

It isn’t a difficult question because you don’t know the answer, but because the answer can be very painful. If you’ve ...read more
