    A Regular Riot Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Sep 8, 2020
     | 2,745 views

    Pagan society and the Gospel do not mix. If we stay true to the Word, we can expect opposition. This opposition highlights that we are in the midst of a spiritual battle.

    A Regular Riot (Acts 19:21-40) 1. Sept. 1 2020 (UPI) -- An American Airlines pilot preparing to land in Los Angeles reported an unusual encounter at about 3,000 feet with a "guy in a jetpack."

    Blessed Hope

     | 4,139 views

    The Beatitudes show us that our hope is in conflict with the world's expectations. Trusting in Jesus, we are able to point our lives toward our godly heritage.

    I have a hope; and I hope it. What is hope? For the benefit of all the women who didn’t attend the 2010 Diocesan Men’s Retreat, and the men who couldn’t make it either (and as a refresher to those who did attend), let’s talk about hope. During our preparation for the ...read more

    Jesus displayed the cost of Discipleship in His own Life and Death and followers of Him can expect nothing less than total commitment to God's Kingdom.

    “Foxholes and Followers” Matthew 8:18-23, Luke 14: 25-33 Although we are looking at Matthew 8 today, the context is actually from Isaiah 53: “Surely our griefs, He ...read more

    So what does God say about work and what does He expect from us concerning those we come in contact with at work?

    God and the Workplace Prayer- I want to look at the act of working this morning. Work is a necessity for survival but for some it is their life. (Workaholics) To some they dread going to work. (Not doing what they would like to do) For a select few working is their happy place. So what does ...read more

    On Christmas we expect to hear that Jesus’ arrival made everything right! And in once sense it did, but really Jesus’ arrival turned everything upside down.

    I. Introduction It is Christmas. It is the time of year that most of us, even the most cynical and crusty, are filled with emotions, memories, and nostalgia. The older you get the more you long for the simpler days of Christmas morning excitement, gathering with family and friends, to sing familiar ...read more

    Just like the runners in the Boston marathon, Christians should expect that there will be, at some point, opposition that will test us—our endurance, perseverance, and our principles.

    Has anyone here this morning ever ran a marathon? A marathon is always measured at 26.2 Miles. Have you ever heard of heartbreak hill? In the Boston Marathon, at mile 20, the runners come to what is called heartbreak Hill. Heartbreak Hill is the final incline of the Boston marathon. Even though ...read more

    God’s power and presence remain active today, inviting us to trust Him in hardship, pray boldly, and expect miracles even in ordinary moments.

    Some days faith feels thin as fog. You stand at the kitchen sink with a coffee cup and a knot in your stomach. You sit in the waiting room and study the floor tile as if it could talk back. You lie awake and watch the red glow of the clock turn minutes into miles. In moments like these, we need ...read more

    Our lack of progress is not due to the absence of certain sign gifts but our failure to utilize the gifts we have. Churches are struggling to make a mark in our communities because God’s people will not engage and put to use the gifts God has given to Hi

    The study contrasts Heaven with our present situation. What can we expect in Heaven? For many of us, we need to change our perception of what shall be.

    “I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, ...read more
