    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 28, 2025
     | 187 views

    John's 6th sign. Jesus calls us to cast off bitterness and blame, receive His mercy, and follow Him with eyes wide open to new life.

    Part One Jesus was on His way out of Jericho. Passover crowds filled the road. The noise of merchants and pilgrims echoed off the stone walls. And on that roadside sat a blind man named Bartimaeus—son of Timaeus. That name is striking. Timaeus means honorable. But nothing about this scene ...read more

    “Doing the Gospel” Luke 6:27-38 Raise your hand if you live by these instructions from Jesus all the time? Anyone? Why not? What’s gone wrong? Is Jesus way off base?

    As Jesus stood trial before Pontius Pilate, Pilate had the opportunity to do the right thing, but his fear kept him from doing that. Had he been motivated by love instead, he could have stood.

    Love on the Cross Text: John 19:1-16 Before we dig in to our message today, let me just remind you of what’s happened so far. Jesus was betrayed by Judas and arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane. He was taken before Annas and Caiaphas, the Jewish religious leaders and charged with blasphemy. ...read more

    Beyond A Reasonable Doubt

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Aug 19, 2023
     | 1,698 views

    At first the disciples doubted. But when faced with the evidence, they weighed it, tested it, and then acted upon it. Their verdict has stood the test of time. And the grounds on which they stood are the same grounds upon which we can stand.

    Why do you suppose is it that, faced with the same data, some people interpret it one way and some people interpret it another? You have only to look at the George Floyd riots – and the other ones later that year - to know that. Not even exhaustive investigations convince people whose minds are ...read more

The 60’s were a kind of revolution too, complete with ideology and pamphleteers and civil unrest and rather more bloodshed ...read more

     | 868 views

    Taking, hoarding and passivity are signs of death. But the signs of life are the opposite: receiving, giving, and acting.

    There was a popular song about 30 years ago which some of you might remember. It went, “They’re rioting in Africa, they’re starving in Spain, there’s hurricanes in Florida and Texas needs rain" ...and ending with “What nature doesn’t do to us will be done by our fellow man.” It only needs a ...read more
