    In Luke 18:9-14, Jesus describes two very different men, who took two very different approaches to connecting with God, which resulted in two very different outcomes.

    Today we begin a new series on rejecting religion for something real. The “something real” is the way of Christ (Christianity), which is not a religion, but a relationship with the living God. Too many non-believers wrongly think of Christianity as “just another religion,” and, sadly, many of ...read more

    Jesus wept as he rode into Jerusalem, wept for his beloved city, as it says in Luke’s gospel, for he knew the dreams of this day would turn into the reality of pain, death, and suffering.

    Palm Sunday is when we remember Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Can you imagine what it must have been like on that day almost 2000 years ago? Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem, may have seemed to those who were there to be the high point of his ministry. All of those people ...read more

    How is it that we, the Body of Christ, ignore fulfilling in the lives of those sitting in our pews His self-identified mission as described in Isaiah 61:1-3 and Luke 4:18-21?

    I’m tired...so very tired. Not tired of body, but tired in soul. There is something troubling my heart that I have to speak today, something I have to get out in front of those who call themselves “the Redeemed”. I will be brief, but I will be clear. The words of Isaiah 61:1-3 ...read more
