    They called her their troubled one, or their feisty one. She had wild flyaway hair much like that of a punk rocker, but jet-black. And she was only, at the oldest, a couple of weeks old.

    We are not called by Christ to talk about fishing for people or wait until we have the proper equipment or bait. We are called to fish.

    We can learn a lot from the qualities needed to be a good fisherman, to enable us to be good fishers for men.

    I will make you Fishers of Men – but we don’t start with the Barracudas Story: I occasionally take Bari (my Bernese Mountain Dog) down to the gravel pits for a walk.

    Many battles are won in our minds! Temptations are first overcome in our minds because that is where the battle is and that is where the victory also is. Hiding God’s Word in our hearts is a great weapon to fight temptations.

    This sermon looks at how following Jesus is a life long committment of listening to Jesus and reflecting HIS light.

    Imagine being like those fishermen.

     | 13,384 views

    Second Sunday after Pentecost: What is worship that is real and authentic? We look at Jesus’ teachings about this to learn how to honor God in worship.

    The Bible describes perfect worship. It occurs around the throne of God. That is a place where there is no pain, or sadness; A place where no sun or moon are needed because God is there to provide light and warmth; A place where the chaos and all that disturbs is replaced by the perfect peace. It ...read more

    What we’re trying to do is push back the darkness.

    So, Matthew says that, “when Jesus heard that John [the Baptist] had been arrested, he withdrew….” What does that tell us? It tells us – doesn’t it? – that there is a force of darkness at work in this world. And we know what that means, of course. It means there ...read more
