1. Openly recognize wrong deeds to be wrong deeds. 2. Recognize that your anger is not only normal but necessary. (Jesus, “after looking around at them with anger” Mark 3: 5; “Be angry, and yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger.” Ephesians 4: 26) 3. Realize how ongoing ...read more

If they are, we need to be far more bold, in intentional, about pointing people to Jesus. Bonus discussion of how Greek imperfect verbs work.
Today's message was a little short, so I'm going to try to cheat a little at the start, and explain something that may open up the Bible to you in really unexpected ways. And then, I'll try to show you a little how it works, and how cool this is, as I go through today's passage. ...read more
Scripture: John 4:27-42, John 4:1-26
God set it up so that Jesus would be rejected by most. His master plan, was that Jesus die on the cross. But at the same time, any single individual could still come to Jesus.
Let's start today by reading part of last week's passage, John 12:20-26: (20) Now, there were some Greeks from among the ones going up [to Jerusalem], in order that they would worship at the festival. (21) Then, these ones approached Philip-- the one from Bethsaida of Galilee-- and they ...read more

Who is Jesus, fully, really?
Everything for humans depends on getting Jesus right. We have to understand who Jesus is. What he came for. What he accomplished. And what he wants. If we get this wrong, we end up outside of God's kingdom, looking in. We end up darkness. We perish. But if we get all of this right, and ...read more
Scripture: John 1:1-18
Jesus knows what Peter did, and restores him, and commissions him. Jesus leaves no sheep behind. Also, the two words for love don't matter at all-- Peter isn't trying to trick Jesus.
Let's start today by rereading our passage from two weeks ago, John 20:19-23: (19) Then, when it was evening on that day-- the first day of the week, and the doors having been shut where the disciples were because of fear of the Judeans-- Jesus came, and he stood in their midst, and he says to ...read more

I’d like to Start with a few questions: ● Was it difficult for you to move into this care home? ● How difficult was it? A Little? Very difficult?
(These questions can be conversational if there is time. Many residents will want to share how their experience went. Listen closely and take note. Otherwise they are simply relational to inspire residents to act based on their compassion and empathy having been through the same process as new ...read more

If God is light, if God is perfect righteousness, then we’d better get real about our own righteousness.
John is writing to his followers in the final years of his life. You get the feeling that he thinks he’s running out of time because there’s a certain urgency to the way he writes. He doesn’t waste words. There’s no polite greeting at the start of the letter. He just gets ...read more
Scripture: 1 John 2:1-17
Denomination: Anglican
This passage deals with a horrible sin committed by people who I’m sure didn’t think they could ever sink that low. What does God have to say to those in our congregations who’ve done things that they never thought they would?
- I was going to skip this passage, because, to be honest, it’s disgusting/I’m not saying it isn’t inspired Scripture, I’m not saying that it didn’t happen, I’m just saying that it’s disgusting. - not all of Scripture is pleasant to read. - but God opened up to me a message from within this ...read more
As it was in the days of Noah, so it seems to be in our day. Unbelievers need to get into the safety of God’s ark before it’s too late.
36But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 37But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day ...read more
Scripture: Matthew 24:36-44
The desire for revenge and justice is part of being in God’s image. But, because sin corrupts us, and because our lives are intended to center around God, we must defer revenge (and sometimes justice) to Him.
Everything You Wanted to Know About Revenge But Never Thought You’d Hear in Church (Romans 12:14, 17-21) 1. Today’s sermon has little to do with the subject of forgiveness. 2. The Bible is clear that forgiveness is crucial to the Christian life; it is the hallmark of our faith. 3. Not long ...read more

If we think coronavirus might be God's judgement or a part of 'End Times' then we need to know what God's judgement and 'End Times' look like. We now turn to Revelation. This Reflection provides an introduction.
Today we start on Revelation. However, before diving in I’d like to do a quick introduction. When we start to talk about Revelation we quickly find that there are a lot of different views. The main views are ‘preterist’, ‘historicist’, ‘idealist’ and ‘futurist’. Preterists believe that most of ...read more
