    Proving God’s Will (Romans 11:33-12:1,2) Dr. Keith Peters Before we can hope to Know or discern God’s will, we must shift our thinking from the world’s paradigm to God’s. This is like intentionally “changing frequencies” on our radios. This involves a PROCESS ...read more

     | 4,622 views

    The church has stayed too long in the wilderness of failed leadership. Now is the time to use the stewardship calling to accomplish the role of leading the church into the new dispensation after the crisis of the pandemic has run her course.

    The present pandemic crisis has revealed the inevitable need for good leadership and governance not only in the world, but in the church as well. Daily we are experiencing and witnessing the failure of leadership in many high places. In fact those who are supposed to lead are failing the calling. ...read more

    The Embarassing Stepchild--Messianic Judaism

    Contributed by Walter Thomas on Nov 26, 2019
     | 1,537 views

    Although Messianic Judaism is how it all began with the Jewish Messiah and Jewish Apostles, it has been treated as an unwanted stepchild by Judaism and much of the Church

    THE STEPCHILD Some Provocative Food for Thought. There is a much-needed conversation… so let’s talk. Traditional Judaism and traditional Christianity have often treated Messianic Judaism as an embarrassing and problem stepchild. It is an ecclesial anathema.

    Both Saint And A Sinner

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Sep 30, 2024
     | 95 views

    In the beginning of Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthians, Paul refers to these quarrelsome and divisive members of the Church of Corinth as "Saints." Can I be both Just and a Sinner, at the same time?

    Thank you to Tullian Tchividjian, a Lutheran pastor from whom much of the message theme is borrowed. There’s something wonderful our Epistle lesson today that can be overlooked, in that Paul calls the Christians living in Corinth “saints.” In fact, “Saint” is a term he uses to describe all of us ...read more

    Quench Your Thirst With Living Water!

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Mar 6, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,037 views

    Water and thirst. Those are two powerful pictures that we find in Jesus’ interaction with a Samaritan woman at a well. May God the Holy Spirit enable us to recognize the insatiable thirst that sin gives us. And every day, let’s quench our thirst with living water.

    This reading from John 4 uses something from everyday life that is intended to give us a powerful connection to spiritual truth. It’s supposed to touch our head and our heart and impact our emotions. But I fear that it is lost on us. What am I talking about? It’s just plain water. Well, I ...read more

    So the question then is, how does God keep his promises? How does God work? How do we work? To put it in the jargon of the theologian, how does the transcendent mystery of God break into human affairs? In addition, as I have thought about that question, i
