    We're in week two of Advent, and today we're talking about PEACE! Not that fake peace the world tries to sell you. Not that temporary peace that falls apart when trouble comes. But that SUPERNATURAL, HEAVEN-SENT, CANT-NOBODY-TAKE-IT-AWAY PEACE that only Jesus can give!

    THE SHEPHERDS' STORY (Luke 2:8-14) Now let me take you back to that night—that HOLY NIGHT—when everything changed. There were shepherds out in the fields, doing what they always did—watching over their sheep through the long, dark night. These weren't fancy people. These weren't ...read more

A dangerous moment, one in which the future of a whole people lay in the balance. She had little power, in the usual sense. She wielded no authority, commanded no troops, had access ...read more

    An adaptation of the Seder service: Jesus turns upside down all our common values: sorrow for slavery becomes sorrow for sin; common issues become community; and wandering becomes salvation, all through the Cross.

    When great crowds gather in city streets, it is either for a celebration or for a revolution. Throngs do not come together without a purpose; they come together either to celebrate a great occasion or to agitate for what they want. They come to see evidence of a world turned upside down.

    Let Justice Run Down

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 15, 2021

     | 6,203 views

    In Amos' time, justice and righteousness no longer prevailed in Israel; but rather, it had become wormwood. Wormwood is toxic, so Israel was dealing with a toxic justice system - but God was going to bring justice!

    In Amos 5:24, we read, “Let justice run down like water, and righteousness like a mighty stream!” This is a verse that probably resonates with us all. We all desire justice! I read some Christian articles that predicted the year 2020 to be “the year of justice,” but I doubt anyone who made these ...read more
