    What kind of faith does it take to turn the head of Jesus? The Roman officer had it and so can we.

    Last week we were introduced to Levi who changed his name to Matthew. As you recall Levi meant “joined in harmony” but as a tax collector he was unable to live up to his name. After Jesus made him the offer to become a follower he referred to himself as Matthew, meaning “a gift to ...read more

    Somebody said, I wish I could have lived in the days of the apostles. Well, we are living in apostolic days right now. Now, the question is... will we live like the apostles lived?

    Jesus' trial before Pilate was a hodge-podge of differing desires. But they are all just background noise to what was really going on, and what God was using to bring about His purpose.

    Passage: Matthew 27:11-26 Intro: It’s very interesting to watch the wrangling in Washington these days. 1. debt-ceiling debate, a lot at stake. 2. we know that much going on “behind the scenes”, as people seek to gain the upper hand of power. 3. trade-offs, promises, ...read more

    Giants by nature are not difficult to see. Their huge size and immense strength commands attention. There are some problems and troubles that stand as giants before us. They make us afraid and hopeless.

    There’s no perfect church. Jesus commends a faithful church—Philadelphia—for keeping His Word and not denying His name. The question for us: not “Are we perfect?” but “Are we faithful?”

    Have you ever heard this expression before? “If you’re looking for the perfect church, and you find it – if you find the perfect church – well you better not join it because it won’t be perfect anymore.” I love this. And the reason is because no one is perfect, right? There’s no such thing as a ...read more

    What lies within us is more of an ambivalence towards leadership… we actually long for that which can organize life… that which can set forth what is right… and HEROES who reveal something of a better way.
