Jumping Jehoshaphat Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Mar 9, 2022

Living in a godly and wise manner is not just about us; it glorifies God and brings a wealth of benefits to others. Living to honor God is really about loving God and loving others, and Jehoshaphat excelled at doing just that – most of the time.

Jumping Jehoshaphat? (2 Chronicles 17-20) Note: The promises of blessings for obedience in Deuteronomy 28:1-14 were probably seen more during the time of Jehoshaphat than any other king. You might want to have a Scripture reading from this Deuteronomy passage as a complement to the ...read more

Coming To The Feast Series

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Nov 5, 2022

This message is intended to explain the great offense shown in ignoring both the invitation to the Feast and the refusal to wear the proper wedding Garment, which is a reflection of Christ's Righteousness.

The parable which began Matthew 22, our Gospel lesson this morning, is a parable that can really bug people.

The Serenity Of Christ Before Pilate

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Mar 29, 2023

Who is in control at Christ's trial? Pilate wanted to release Jesus but changed his mind. Caiaphas effectively blackmails Pilate into doing his will in getting rid of Jesus. But Jesus remains cool, charm and collective. The crowd who are stirred up in demanding the death of Jesus.

The Serenity of Christ before Pilate I’m sure many of you here this morning have visited Coventry Cathedral and left with some sort of reaction to that Church, dedicated to the Glory of God in the name of St. Michael and All Angels. It is the sort of modern Cathedral building you either love or ...read more

Letters Of Recommendation

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Sep 13, 2025

Paul reminds the Corinthians that true Christian leadership isn't about  credentials but pointing people to Christ. Our transformed lives are the Holy Spirit’s “letters of recommendation,” of God's truth.
