God Is Audience Of My Worship - Pt 1

Contributed by Kyle Meador on Oct 17, 2001

God is the one who invites us, meets us and engages us in worship. It is also God who receives our worship. Look at this story in John 4 through the lens of worship.

Isn’t it amazing how God layers truth upon truth within the Biblical text? Today, I invite you to see one truth from John 4. This is not to to suggest that this is the only truth, or necessarily the highest truth. But I believe you will see it certainly is a truth. As we read through this text from ...read more

Out Of Bounds, But Not Out Of Grace

Contributed by Allan Quak on Dec 12, 2005

When Jesus meets the Syrophoenician woman He seems to act totally out of character. However there is a reason why He acts in this way … and it is a reason which gives us all hope.

Mark 7:24-30 People of God in the Lord Jesus Christ, On many occasions in the Scriptures the actions of Jesus make perfect sense – but our text doesn’t seem to fit into that category does it. The way Jesus acts in this passage seems to be so out of character, doesn’t it.. In fact this is the ...read more

Table Talk Series

Holy Communion may be understood as communication of Christ to the Christian; thus table talk may be a more comprehensible way of expressing that Christ meets us at Eucharist than the popular understanding of transubstantiation.

Is "Church” A Dirty Word? Series

Contributed by Steven Spillman on May 19, 2008

The Rumor Of Hope

Contributed by Scott Nichols on Apr 17, 2009

The original and abrupt ending of the Gospel of Mark allows us to finish the story of Christ’s resurrection in our own lives. What will it mean to us to meet Jesus in our own "Galilees?"

The little boy was not exactly happy about going to church on Easter Sunday morning. His new shoes were to tight, his tie pinched his neck and the weather outside was just too beautiful to be cooped up inside...so as he sulked in the pew his parents heard him mutter to no one in particular. "I ...read more

Realationship Series

Contributed by Paul Newell on Dec 4, 2006

Discovering the REAL Christmas begins with REALationship. Though Simon Peter does not meet the Christ Child until thirty years after his birth, Peter is still a powerful illustration of REALationship.

Pretend Santas, imitation smells, counterfeit presents, simulated smiles, artificial trees, fake snow...how is it that we’ve turned the Christmas season into everything but something real? It appears to me that most of what is foisted upon us during the holiday’s is anything but real. As we prepare ...read more
