The Apostolic Church

Contributed by James Thornton on Sep 17, 2012

The church is not an organization but an organism.

Many people try to fit the church into a mold they think is best suited. In other words, they try to force the church in to a function they think will fit within the framework they have established.

Contributed by Bruce Ball on Sep 24, 2012

The Great Confession

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Aug 30, 2015

Who is Jesus? It's possible to have a high view of Him, but not high enough.

Candidates for public office take polls to gauge their image, how they're perceived by potential voters. Are they viewed as likable, honest, capable? Jesus asked His disciples to share their input as to His public image. What were people saying about Him? He then confronted them with a more ...read more

Who Am I

Contributed by Craig Condon on Apr 15, 2015

Like Peter, we are followers of Jesus. Like Peter, we sometimes have deep faith, and, at other times, a lack of faith. Jesus saw in Peter the same thing he sees in us-building material that can be shaped into a people of faith to serve his reign.

The Gospel reading from Matthew 16:13-20 takes place in the region of Caesarea Philippi. It was a territory where pagan gods were worshipped, and it is there that Jesus asks Peter a question about his identity; not in some safe territory, but in a non-believing location. Perhaps that is why Jesus ...read more

Each one describes different things to do, and not to do – however the goal of both readings is to provide us with a framework within which to seek justice ...read more
