This morning’s text is all about God’s will, and people that obey, or don’t. That is a simple truth everyone can understand. That’s ...read more

    Right words never exceed right deeds, though it is always best when words and deeds match one another. Jesus’ parable of the two sons urges us to repent of our empty words and to fill them with obedience.

    Who Did His Father’s Will? Matt 21:28-32 Jesus’ teaching has many places in it where it is difficult to understand what he means. And, then there are those places where his meaning is clear, but the application what he says is tricky – or so we like to think. We have one of those places in the ...read more

Yes, I’ll have chicken for dinner tonight. No, I won’t have beef. Yes, I’ll go to work this morning. No, I won’t stay even a minute ...read more

    Jesus taught some very important lessons about Christian character near the end of his life. Here are three of them.

    Last week we saw Jesus coming into Jerusalem in the “Triumphal Entry.” Remember the scene...Jesus on the back of a donkey. People lining the streets with palm branches. Hosanna, Hosanna! This week the scene changes. It’s no longer an exciting street lined with people. Now it is a classroom. ...read more
