    Contributed by David Roth on May 2, 2020
     | 3,068 views

    Easter 5(A) In His death Christ opened an ocean of mercy for the whole world. We who have received that mercy, who live in His mercy, cannot help but to be merciful and forgiving towards others. Christ forgives so we forgive. He has forgiven us and removed our hearts of stone.

    J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. “Sticks and Stones” The word of the risen Christ spread quickly. The disciples needed help in caring for the widows and orphans. They choose Stephen. He ...read more

    Three perspectives on joy from Isaiah

    As I was preparing to preach this week, I considered giving my sermon the title “Getting Serious About Joy”. Then I thought better of it and came up with “Joy Is No Laughing Matter”.

    In the parable of the prodigal son, Jesus reveals God as Father who is extravagant in His love for us, welcoming both rebellious and religious sons to come home.

    COME HOME AND LET THE PARTY BEGIN! (Sept. 2012 – Beausejour Church – Pastor Chris Jordan) HUMOR: Eight-year-old Nina brought her report card home from school.

     | 1,151 views

    The vagabond spirit is the spirit that makes a person live an irregular life or a wandering life. Some contribution has been added from Dr D.O Olukoya's teachings.

    Throughout the Bible God speaks of the importance of parents raising their children to obey the Lord. After Lot's wife had turned back to look at Sodom and turned to salt, Lot and his two daughters fled from the plain up into the hills, where they could be safer. There were no settlements ...read more

    We don’t want to take God’s forgiveness for granted. Rather, we should be blown away by God’s grace, overwhelmed with a sense of gratitude that permeates all that we are, all that we do. And we should give this grace freely to others in forgiveness.

    Luke 15:11-32 The Prodigal God When people make mistakes, they should be punished for them! After all, they’ve brought it on themselves! And if we don’t look out after ourselves, who will? It’s a cutthroat world out there. Every person for themselves. And truth be told, it feels ...read more
