Once you were not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy, but ...read more

    Instead of healing the paralytic, Jesus first meets his most important need, the forgiveness of his sins, much to everyone's annoyance.

    In our Gospel Lesson this morning, we meet up with Jesus just after he returns “home.” We don’t always think of Jesus having a home, but this was not his own anyway. In this case, home seems to mean Peter’s home in Capernaum. Shortly before our Gospel, both Matthew and Mark share a similar record ...read more

     | 14,097 views

    As Christians we must continue to grow in the Lord after we are saved. We cannot simply "exist" after we are saved and expect to become mature Christians. Growth is just as important after the new birth as the new birth is itself.

Walk in Christ—If we are truly walking with Christ, we will grow in grace and in the knowledge of Him. B. Be rooted—as a tree seeks water deep ...read more
