    Killing sprees shock us with their cruelty to human life. Yet, how often do we engage in our own killing sprees, mentally murdering those with whom we are angry. Jesus calls us to stop it, and to bend over backwards to make things right with others.

    Matthew 5:21-26 Stop the Killing Spree! William Boyette, suspected of killing four women in two states, died Tuesday from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after a police standoff at a Georgia motel. Police arrested Mary Rice, his accomplice. As appalling as their little Bonnie and Clyde killing ...read more

    No one pays that much attention to the wrapping. It’s what is inside that counts . . . right? Maybe this Christmas we should stop and consider how the gift was wrapped.

    Wrapped Pt. 3 - In Hope I. Introduction There is usually very little attention paid to the wrappings. Even if great time and effort is made to make sure each corner is tucked and folded perfectly. Even if the bow is picked to match exactly. Even if every seam is exact.

    Most wars are fought for one of three reasons—or a combination of this reasons: territory, ideology, theology. The word “territory” doesn’t always mean land. The Pharisees had carved out a territory, which they intended to defend at all costs (John 11:45-53).

    The Pharisees wanted to use the Sabbath to trap Jesus and accuse Him of wrongdoing. Jesus went into the synagogue on the Sabbath to honour God and do good, which is the true purpose of the Sabbath. He obeys the will of God and does what is right despite the opposition.

    Matt 12:9-21 Honour God By Doing Good Matt 12:9-21 ESV Parallel Passages: Mark 3:1-5 and Luke 6:6-11 9He went on from there and entered their synagogue. 10And a man was there with a withered hand. And they asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”—so that they might ...read more

    God’s wisdom, goodness, and justice transcend our assumptions about fairness and push beyond the limitations of human reasoning.
