    Joyously Amazed Disbelief describes the too-good-to-be-true experiences of God’s grace that are critical for us to recognize, because in recognizing them we are empowered to share the good news of Christ’s love with others: CLAIM AND PROCLAIM.

    Thursday I was down in Albany helping lead a workshop with some folks from the Albany First Methodist Church, and there was a young woman in the group who had a glow on her face the entire day.

    Jesus Christ came to 1. The sinful. 2. The poor and sick. 3. The Faithful.

    Last week we spoke about the prophecies that brought hope to the minds and hearts of God’s people — those who were anticipating the arrival of God’s Messiah into the world. Those prophesies created such longing, such expectancy and such a desire to see what God was going to do in the world that ...read more

    When the Son comes out, we discover peace, resurrection power and a commission to move beyond our church walls.

    Years ago, my two sons attended a spiritual gifts retreat for children. On the way home from the campgrounds, the boys’ mother wanted to know what they had discovered. She asked our younger son, “What’s your spiritual gift, Sam?” Sam stuck out his chest and proudly announced, “Mom, my spiritual ...read more

    Jesus’ last recorded words were important for His disciples, and they are important for us today.

    Whether we are or are not convinced that Christ rose from the dead does not affect the reality of the Resurrection. The Bible presents it as objective history. But if we accept its reality by faith and live consistently in light of it, it changes our l

    Using the NKJV, this outline simply divides the Luke 24:14-46 passage into six subdivisions which might facilitate a didactical approach to this great passage.

    THE EMMAUS ROAD EXPERIENCE Luke 24:14-46 The experience that two of Christ’s disciples had as they returned to their home in Emmaus tells us a great deal about the resurrected Christ. Every born-again believer would loved to have been walking with these two disciples and our Lord as He expounded ...read more

    Luke 24:36-49 A VACCINATION AGAINST SPIRITUAL “SARS” By now, I’m sure most of you have heard of “SARS” which stands for “severe acute respiratory syndrome.” Somewhere in Southeast Asia, someone came down with this problem called SARS, and from that one person, SARS has been spreading like ...read more

    An encounter with Christ is essential for true faith to take shape. Our encounter with the world is then empowered by the Christ we meet at the table.

    I made the point last week that poor ole doubting Thomas should not be singled out as the only disciple who had doubts about this new “resurrected” reality. Here is the rest of the story – as Paul Harvey would say – to vindicate Thomas. Verse 41 of today’s text clearly makes the point. “While in ...read more
