    Temptation is our awful struggle not to lose ourselves and our potential to lose ourselves. Temptation also highlights God’s mercy and grace in our lives in the wilderness for forty minutes, hours, days or years.

    In today’s Gospel reading, we encounter the most human and common experience: temptation, which Jesus also experienced in a very profound way. The temptations of Jesus are found in all four Gospels. But we are accustomed to thinking that Jesus was tempted three times before his public ministry ...read more

    Hello Church! We’re going to look at the opening to Mark’s gospel today. One of the unique things about the Gospel of Mark is how to-the-point Mark tells the story of Jesus. He doesn’t beat around the bush and he omits a lot of material that we find in Matthew, Luke, and John. In fact, Mark uses ...read more

    An Extraordinary Man

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on Nov 14, 2024
     | 753 views

    We meet many ordinary people regularly, but extraordinary people do not appear as often. Leaders who are competent to lead and able to do what they say are rare. When one is recognized, normally good honest people flock to see them; meet them; seek to find out all they can about them.

    If you heard about or met an extraordinary man, would you be intrigued to hear more about him or desire to meet him? I’m certain many ladies have; you probably married him!
