    Dated 1988. Part dialogue, part conversation, between the preacher and his wife. Pain is caused by absenting ourselves from those against whom we have a grievance. Mothers understand compassion and challenge the rest of us to reconcile.

    It is very appropriate that Margaret join me in bringing the message today… appropriate not only because she is a mother, but also because today’s message was inspired by both of our mothers … both hers and mine. Several years ago my mother was sitting in her living room reading the newspaper with ...read more

    Who do people say that Jesus is? Who do you say that Jesus is?

    There are two questions I want to point us in the direction of from this passage of scripture; Mathew ch 16 v 13 Jesus asks, “Who do people say that the son of man is?” And Mathew ch 16 v 15 where Jesus asks “But who do you say that I am?” We start the narrative with this discourse between Jesus ...read more

    Ironic isn’t it? We can do so well in our Christian walk, we depend upon our Christian competencies rather than the Holy Spirit.

    Was Jesus kidding? “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” Come on, what does that mean? Certainly Jesus is speaking in metaphors, certainly Jesus is exaggerating, certainly Jesus means something else….. In the city of Jerusalem ...read more

    When we live in ways consistent with our old sinful nature we’re like an old car that no longer exhibits the beauty and functions of its original design. That all changes when we receive a new life, a new nature, a new heart and a new spirit.

    Prayer: Lord, please renew your church. Let her beauty be seen as she reflects your radiance. Empower her to serve the purposes for which you made her. Lord, please renew each of us that our lives will reflect your image, glory and beauty. Renew us to accomplish the work for which you designed ...read more
