    God writes straight with crooked lines, in every age.

    Thursday of 29th Week in Course 2017 Reformation and Revolution Let’s imagine for a moment what happened when St. Paul and his companions came to a town in Anatolia or Greece, his two assigned missionary territories.

    The Holy Spirit Of Witness And Division Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 21, 2018
     | 3,971 views

    The Spirit empowers, but the Spirit also divides. Because the Holy Spirit causes us to change our lives, and to summon our family and friends to the Christian way of life, conflict often emerges in relationships.

    Thursday of the 29th Week in Course 2018 The phrase, “fire that Our Lord came to cast down upon the earth” is reminiscent of an encounter Jesus had in his earthly life with James and John, sons of Zebedee. Some town had refused hospitality to Jesus and the disciples, so those two asked Jesus for ...read more

    Crescendo (August 18, 2019).

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Aug 14, 2020
     | 3,155 views

    Jesus shared with his audience then and his congregation today that life is not always a rose garden. Life is not a dress rehearsal. Some who are open to the gospel are often rejected by those who oppose it and sometimes they are family members.

    CRESCENDO Text: Luke 12:49 - 56 Have you ever had something happen that made your Adrenalin glands kick in instant overdrive when you were almost asleep? It said that Beethoven would sometimes shock his audiences with a shift from soft music to abrupt harsh noise. Imagine sitting ...read more

    The Uncomfortable Christ

    Contributed by Jessie Manuel on Aug 11, 2025

     | 1,747 views

    What kind of fire is Jesus talking about? Is this the fire of judgment? The fire of hell? The fire of destruction? I don't believe so. This is the fire of purification, the fire of truth, the fire that burns away what is false so that what is true can shine forth.

    OPENING Good morning, church family. I want to begin today with a story that might help us understand something profound about the nature of Christ's ministry. Last summer, I had the opportunity to speak with a forest ranger in Colorado. As we drove through a section of the national forest, I ...read more

    The Greatest Mission On Earth

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 13, 2025
     | 219 views

    Take heart from the Scriptures today and know that as we break and share the Bread of Life and take and drink the Cup of Blessing, we are surrounded by each other and a huge throng of witnesses, thousands of years old.

    Twentieth Sunday in Course 2025 Cisterns, which date back thousands of years, are holes in the ground meant to collect and store water. Often they are lined on the sides with rocks to slow down leakage into the surrounding soil. At our house we have no cisterns, but we do have rain barrels that ...read more

    "The Jesus Who Brings Fire Not Peace”

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Aug 13, 2025
     | 519 views

    The words of Jesus regarding division in our families sound harsh. He knows a decioion about who He is and His message must be accepted or rejected.

    What Do You Do When The Lord Makes You Uncomfortable?

    Contributed by Jessie Manuel on Aug 14, 2025
     | 716 views

    Jesus is going to show us in Luke 12:49-56 that this divine discomfort is not a bug in the system of faith—it's a feature. It's not something to avoid—it's something to embrace.

    There's a question that every serious believer must eventually face: What do you do when the Lord makes you uncomfortable? I'm not talking about the discomfort of difficult circumstances or trials that come from living in a fallen world. I'm talking about that deep, internal stirring ...read more

    Twentieth Sunday In Ordinary Time- Year C-- Fire

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Aug 15, 2025
     | 229 views

    Fire, judgment, separation, crisis, – can bring a new opportunity for growth in faith.

    Lodgepole pinecones are very compact, and they will only open to disperse their seeds under intense heat, as in a forest fire. We hear a similar idea today in our Gospel that fire means judgment, which results in separation, creating a crisis, but which also means opportunity. So, fire, ...read more

    Fuego, juicio, separación y crisis pueden traer una nueva oportunidad para crecer en la fe.

    Las piñas de pino o conos de los pinos torcido son muy compactas y solo se abren para dispersar sus semillas bajo un calor intenso, como en un incendio forestal.

    Jesus obviously had not read Dale Carnegie's book "How to make friends and influence people" He hated hypocrisy and called it as it was even if it meant offending the Jewish religious hierarchy

    Lk 12:49-56: Gentle Jesus meek and mild?

    Following the charge to not worry about others or about earthly possessions - Jesus seems to make another hint toward toward the cross and toward his time away from his people. In doing this, he calls his people to be ready and waiting while he is gone.

    Jesus warns his followers that the consequences of following him will be painful and disruptive, and that they’d better be prepared for it.

    The disciples were confused. When the Messiah came, peace and righteousness would reign from one end of the earth to the other. All the prophets agreed. And if Jesus was the Messiah as they were all now pretty sure he was, he would be the one who brought it about. He would be the Prince of Peace ...read more
