    The Politics Of Jesus

    Contributed by Tj Long Jr on Oct 30, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,933 views

    Christians think they align with Jesus' views. Some are surprised, others offended. Jesus’ campaign sounds like a liberal utopia because we’re not ready to let go of hate, we’re not ready to trust in God and not in the law. We have to transcend hate and show the mercy we’ve been shown by God.

    There are only two shows that I’ve ever watched the entire series. One of which I still own on DVD and have watched the entire series 3 times. If there was any show that I’d love to see still running today it would be this one. I’d love to see how it would interpret and respond to the issues of our ...read more

    Simeon: A Lesson In Waiting & Obedience

    Contributed by Tj Long Jr on Jan 1, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,288 views

    Simeon and Anna are faithfully waiting but without the obedience of Joseph and Mary, the promises of God would've been delayed. We must be diligent as disciple-makers because to bring people the good news, to bring Jesus to them.

    Christmas is over and now we have 358 days until Christmas 2024. If I was a child I’d be a little depressed about having to wait so long Christmas to come back around again. As I was growing up there were many things I felt like I waited on; a girl to like me, for me to be taller, for me to get my ...read more

    Pits & Wells

     | 1,533 views

    Many of the things that we think will fill us up are indeed pits that drain us. We should seek after wells that have Living Water. In the midst of internal strife in the church at Philippi, Paul shows us how to seek the things that are lovely while I'll give you steps to reduce the negativity.

    “Pits & Wells” (Title Slide) [Slides are available upon request, these cues denotes where slides are shown/used.] It’s a common narrative to think that most of the news that you see on TV is bad news. Well, that’s not only a common viewpoint, it’s backed up by statistics. Studies show that ...read more

    Psalm 23, our text for today, is incredibly famous – maybe one of the best-known Bible passages besides John 3:16. It's written in a way that feels poetic and musical. But more importantly, it's a source of great comfort. People often read Psalm 23 when they feel desperate, depressed, or ...read more

    The wise men spent perhaps 2 years after the birth of Christ to find Him. How long do we keep searching after Christmas is over?

    This past week my wife and I took down our Christmas decorations. We had to take down our tree, we were beginning to have more needles on the carpet then we had on the tree. So we went ahead and packed up the lights on the window, the decorations above the fireplace, the artificial tree we ...read more

    Sometimes we can be Christians for so long that it is possible we might lose our passion for God. We need to get a fresh passion every day.

    Phil 3:1-16 says: Philippians 3:1 - 16 (NIV) 1Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord!

    It doesn’t take long at this dinner party before the chaos breaks out, this time through the surprising appearance of Mary, pouring a ludicrously expensive jar of perfume.

    We’re turning to John’s Gospel today, which, quite frankly, is a little unnerving for me, as I find John’s Gospel more difficult to deal with than the other three John retells the story of Jesus in such a way that things are rarely as they appear to be. Jesus speaks of being born ’from above’ and ...read more

    Naomi and her family have wandered a long way from God’s promises - what sort of welcome will she find when she turns back?

    When it comes to handyman repair jobs, I reckon there’s a strange fascination. There is for me, anyway. If you want anything fixed around the house, CALL ME. You’ll probably be sorry.
