    The difference between us and non-Christians exists because there is no substitute for Christ. But through Christ, we can make a difference!

    Intro: Even in healthy families, there are sometimes differences of opinion: Which is more important—cleaning the house or mowing the yard? Is it better to save something that might be used later on, or to save space and be more organized by throwing it away? Is it better to put money in a savings ...read more

    49“I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! 50But I have a baptism to undergo, and what constraint I am under until it is completed! 51Do you think I came to bring peace on earth?

    Jesus was controversial - and if you are having a comfortable Christian life - are you really worshipping the Jesus of the New Testament?

    Luke 12:49-56 Gentle Jesus meek and mild You have to be kidding!! Story: At the very start of his ministry in Florence, Savonarola the Italian political reformer (1452-1498) noticed an elderly woman who used to come and pray regularly before that statue of the Virgin Mary.

    As I was enjoying a long bike ride this week I was amazed at the fact that I had ridden by myself on the path for some way and not realized the terrain and surroundings had changed.

    The Fire that Jesus brings to the earth is a Fire of love, not the consuming fire of destruction such that destroyed Sodom and Gomorah, however, it’s impact burns in the hearts of the hearers and causes them to judge their own deeds which results in confl

    Let’s put it this way, it’s not nice to hear any message of destruction, talk less of destruction by bringing fire to the earth. If Jesus was walking the streets of California, Los Angeles, London and Paris with that kind of message he would be number one on the FBI list of wanted persons. Well in ...read more

    Being a follower of Jesus will bring us into conflict with those who are not his followers. However, being his follower means that we are called to help others to interpret his ministry so that they might become his follower too.

    On and off, for the past 19 years Moira and I have been delighted to be able to spend time at her parents’ time-share apartment in Spain.

    The cross of Christ not only brings peace, but also division. When faced with opposition and division, disciples of Christ stand firm while loving and respecting their opponents.

    Luke 12:49-56 “The Limits of Peace” INTRODUCTION The night sky was cloudless and filled with stars. Shepherds watched their flocks, while they huddled around a campfire. Suddenly, they were surrounded by a multitude of angels. They were told not to fear because the angels brought them good ...read more

    Pentecost 13 (C) - God’s word of truth divides. We see this truth in Jesus’ life. We may also see this truth divides in our lives.

    GOD’S TRUTH DIVIDES (Outline) August 30, 2009 -- PENTECOST 13 -- Luke 12:49-53 INTRO: Good and evil, light and darkness are opposites. They have nothing in common with each other. God’s word judges and divides in much the same simple manner. One time Jesus’ enemies accused him of ...read more

    In Luke 12 Jesus asks His disciples if they think He came to bring peace on earth and then - without giving them a chance to respond - He makes; what to me seems like a shocking statement, “No, I tell you, but division.”

    What do we mean when we pray "deliver us from evil"?

    People have always been divided about Jesus. I have known folks who are so “sold-out” to Jesus they drive everybody else crazy. They come across like the butcher who wanted to be a good soul-winner, so he took some training in personal evangelism and memorized all the scriptures and ...read more

    Jesus is quoted saying, "I came to...divide," and in another place He said, "I came to bring peace." Which is it? What would cause division in families? Division began very quickly after He physically left us. Has this division led to war?

    August 18, 2013 Refine or Destroy A bank robber in Virginia Beach got a nasty surprise when a dye pack designed to mark stolen money exploded in his Fruit-of-the-Looms. The robber apparently stuffed the loot down the front of his pants as he was running out the door. “He was seen hopping ...read more
