    The Table . . . A common everyday item. Every house has one. A simple table or a meeting place. Perhaps a classroom. Could it be that a  simple table is really a blank canvas?

In fact, you need to pray for me as I try to find something to do while I am grounded this week for even playing that video. We had some very specific ...read more

    based on 7 ratings
     | 8,464 views

    There are many excuses for rejecting what God has to offer, and God sees through them all. If we’re full of the world we’ll have no appetite for Heaven.

    Today’s parable starts out as table-talk. At a dinner, Jesus mentions “the resurrection of the righteous”, an encouraging truth. Someone at the table gets so excited, he declares a Beatitude: “Blessed is everyone who will eat at the banquet in the Kingdom of God!” ...read more

    Our value as a person has nothing to do with having our name on the up in lights. God loves us; we can’t improve on that! You don’t have to try and prove you are worthwhile by sneaking your nametag a little higher up on the table. And praise God for that!

    Two Prejudices – Luke 14.1-14 Prejudice of any kind is hard to deal with, let alone live with so, seen from that perspective, the story of the Great Banquet might prove something of a challenge for some. To be sure, there’s nothing in it to indicate racial prejudice but it’s ...read more

    Do I Really Want To Become More Like Jesus?

     | 4,470 views

    This is a tough question! Do I want to become more like Jesus, or do I want God to help me become more the person that I selfishly want to be?

    Was Jesus a nice, polite, mild-mannered, good-natured young man who kept himself to himself? Was Jesus middle-of-the-road, all things to all people, politically correct, and softly spoken? Was Jesus the most inoffensive man you could ever wish to meet? I wonder what kind of gentle, meek and mild ...read more

    Anyone who has watched "Seinfield" on TV has probably heard the catch phrase "No soup for you." But Jesus tells a parable about a group of people who hear that catch phrase all to clear.

    Excuses. We all have them. We make excuses for our actions. We make excuses for our lack of actions. We make excuses for our words. Basically we are good at making excuses. The Metropolitan Insurance Company has published a list of the excuses they were given for auto accidents (1) “An ...read more
