    My friend, Jon had many health issues and died suddenly of a heart attack. Sudden heart attack is a real pandemic in America.

    In preparation for funeral services I often ask people if their loved one had a favorite bible passage or bible story that I can share. Most don’t have one, but when I asked Linda she immediately said, “Joshua 1:9.” Joshua 1:9 (ESV) 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be ...read more

    Explores the tension in our lives generated by the absence of Christ after his Ascension. There is, however encouragement and hope for us, both in the "already" of our present salvation and in the "not yet" of the coming consummation at Christ’s Return.

    Just as Jesus performed the "private" miracle at the wedding feast at Cana, His grace is available for our personal, private, miracles.

    A Private Miracle, John 2:1-11 Introduction William Jennings Bryan wrote this about miracles: “Some skeptics say, ‘Oh, the miracles. I can’t accept miracles.’ One may drop a brown seed in the black soil and up comes a green shoot. You let it grow and by and by you pull up ...read more

    He has been called a mystic, a revolutionary, a legend, a troublemaker, and much more. Who is Jesus?

    Who is Jesus? He has been called a mystic, a revolutionary, a legend, a troublemaker, and much more. Who is Jesus? What was He like? Do we think of Him as the child in the manger or the crucified Savior? People say lots of things about Him. John’s Gospel closes by saying the world could ...read more

    "Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another - and all the more as you see the Day approaching." (Hebrews 10:25)

    I’ve always felt a little guilty over church. I felt guilty when I didn’t attend; felt guilty when I did attend; felt guilty if I didn’t become a member; felt guilty after I became a member; felt guilty when I stayed at a certain church; and felt guilty when I left that church. Then the cycle ...read more

    Like an unexpectedly huge mustard plant, the kingdom will grow and comfort, in unexpected ways.

    Like Malformed Mustard Mark 4:30-32 The kingdom of God is like a VW Beetle. It is one of the smallest cars you will ever see. It is not very comfortable or powerful. It is not very stylish or practical. It is very cheap and not impressive in any way. There is no status with owning one. And yet, ...read more

    Forgiveness Must Have A Face

    Contributed by Rev Ken Shedenhelm on Sep 22, 2013
     | 4,654 views

    There's nothing more important to a Christian than forgiveness. It is the basis of our salvation, and we can't love one another as He loved us without forgiving one another. Therefore, we need to understand what forgiveness is and what it is not.

    "When I was a kid, I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way... so I stole a bicycle... and asked him to forgive me." Well, there are 100s of jokes about forgiveness- the one I read is by Emo Phillips- and there are legions of people who ...read more

    Home: The Place Where God Is Unvieled

    Contributed by Rev. Jijo Varghese on Oct 6, 2014
     | 6,467 views

    Which is the best place for a child to learn? Its none other but our own homes. Home is the best and the first school of an individual. A home can build and and home can break an individual.

    The main theme of the Church was Theological Education: Equipping People of God. The theme is quite relevant in this era. But I felt it to be too scholastic to be preached in Church where the community is mixed and all don’t enjoy high funda theology. Taking that into consideration I thought ...read more

    This message is probably one of the hardest messages I have ever had to both prepare for and preach. I am sure this message will be accepted by some and criticized by others. My goal was to be true to where the Scripture took me and the conclusions of that study
