    A storm arose on the sea and the disciples thought they were going to die. In the storms of life, Jesus speaks into our circumstances. He is working to either calm the storm or quiet our heart. When we trust in Him, we find peace.

    Allow me to begin our sermon with an illustration. “Horatio Spafford was a Chicago lawyer and friend of evangelist Dwight L. Moody. In 1873, to visit Moody’s preaching campaign in England, he planned a trip for his family to Europe, and sent his wife Anna and daughters on ahead. But the ship ...read more

    The troubling of the waters of Bethesda signaled the descent of the angel. We all have our "story" of why we can't get healed; Jesus doesn't need it. Jesus didn't wait for the angel to heal, because He's ALWAYS READY TO HEAL! Call on Him!

    This delightful Psalm sees the pilgrims arrive at Jerusalem and in the Temple where they encourage the Temple night watchmen to bless the LORD. A prayer is that the LORD will bless from Zion, and He certainly did and does. Blessings have come from Calvary in Zion. Bless the Lord!

    Twenty-Four Carat Faith

     | 150 views

    We don’t have to suffer for our faith. But we do have to live for it. And if we never grate against a sinful world, how true to Christ are we being?

    Peter is one of my favorite Bible characters. He’s the one who always opens his mouth before his brain has switched into gear and that’s a failing I have a lot of sympathy with. Remember when the disciples were alone on the boat out in the middle of the Sea of Galilee and they saw Jesus walking ...read more
