    When we look at Jesus’ ministry, particularly from the gospel of Luke, we find one of the single most important practices in Jesus’ life was prayer. Luke’s gospel tells us he “often withdrew to lonely places and prayed (Luke 5:16).” Prayer was Jesus’ regular practice, but what did Jesus pray? We ...read more

    Christians pray about heaven but no one really wants to die. Death I have come to understand is a vehicle to glory for a Christian.

    To man death of a righteous man means a waste. Their place is left vacant and what they used to do is left undone. We mourn and cry for we see them no more. Wondering whether we would ever see them again even in eternity as we are still on the journey hoping to reach the right destination in ...read more

    The things in this world, even the things that we pray earnestly for, often end up distracting us from the Giver of the Gift.

    Dependence Day This morning we look at dependence on God, and identifying the difference between loving gifts, and loving and worshiping the Giver of All Good Gifts. Our Gospel lesson for this morning is a great lesson, in fact, for Thanksgiving Day services. As we examine it, we can see a nice ...read more
