     | 273 views

    The servant of the Lord described by Isaiah today actually becomes a light, not just for people Israel, but for the goy, the nations. Wherever this servant would be, darkness would flee, and salvation would enter.

    Everyone faces times of adversity but it is how we view and respond to the adversity that determines how those times will affect us. The disciples experienced this when Jesus was arrested and crucified. Their response can teach us about responding to adverse times.

    What Do You Do When The Lights Go Out?

    Contributed by Paul Green on May 1, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,968 views

    Are you experiencing a dark time in your life? Are you unable to make sense of what is happening? There are times in every Christians life when, despite our faithfulness, we’re suddenly plunged into deep, deep darkness. And we’re left asking the question – why? What do we do when the lights go out?

    Five-year old Johnny was in the kitchen as his mother made supper. She asked him to go into the pantry and get her a can of tomato soup, but he didn’t want to go in alone. “It’s dark in there and I’m scared.” She asked again, and he persisted. Finally, she said, “It’s OK, go; Jesus will be in there ...read more

     | 1,604 views

    As believers in the Lord Jesus we are called to keep our lamps burning bright so that those around us who are still in the darkness of sin and unbelief can come into the light. The question is, “Is are our lamps shining bright for the Lord or are we hiding our lamps?

    It is recorded in Mark 4:21, Jesus said to them, "Does anyone bring a lamp into a room to put it under a basket or under a bed? Isn't it put on a lamp stand? (GW) As we meditate on the questions Jesus asked while here on earth, we realize that these questions were asked to help people ...read more

    He Would Forgive Them All

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 2, 2022
     | 717 views

    Jesus gives an opportunity for her and her accusers to repent and be forgiven and change a sinful life. By God’s grace, won for us in the crucifixion of Christ, all of us are given that chance.

    Monday of 5th week in Lent John 8 If one reads the two Bible stories we proclaim today, it is very easy to see that the Gospel is a midrash on the Susannah story from the Deuterocanonical chapters in the Book of Daniel. A midrash casts a later incident in the style of an older one, particularly ...read more

    I stand before you this morning a condemned man … every bit as guilty as that poor woman caught in the act of adultery. I don’t know whether or not Jesus wrote their sins in the sand but He certainly knows my many sins and I do know that my sins were swept away that day on the cross.

    [Pick up little stone.] Yeah … there’s been a lot of jokes about the risk I’m taking by handing out stones before the sermon. Look at the stone in your hand. Yeah … getting hit by a rock this size could hurt … especially if it hit me in the head or hit me in the eye or something, amen? I guess ...read more
