Proclaim: "Long Live The King!” Claim: Long Life With The King.

Contributed by Daniel Habben on Jan 8, 2008

Epiphany reveals Jesus as a gentle yet powerful king.

“Long live the king!” Did you catch the crowning ceremony of a new king over Christmas? He’s not king over any country. He has a crown but no palace.

The First Shall Be Last, And The Last Shall Be First

Contributed by Craig Condon on Apr 22, 2015

Jesus says that it isn’t the religious folk who are first in the kingdom of heaven. It is those who are most open to turning their lives around who are first in line, those who take action when Jesus says, “follow me”.

It’s painful to have someone you trust tell you that they are going to do something for you---and they don’t. Many of us can tell stories about people who have let us down by making promises and then not following up on them. For example, there is a story of a young widow whose husband ...read more

Why So Long, Lord?

Contributed by William Mouser on Dec 13, 2005
