The Resurrections After The Resurrection

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on May 4, 2020

The Things That Are Above

Contributed by Dietrich Bonhoeffer on Aug 2, 2012

Out of grace and mercy and great kindness, God gathers our burning, blazing life; he glorifies it for the sake of Jesus Christ; he builds it up new and good in that hidden world where the line of death that separates us from God has been taken away.

(Read Colossians 3:1-4.) Dear congregation, it is as if our whole life were carried, raised up, and protected in these words. Say what you will against this “Seek the things that are above.” You may suspect that those who are constantly seeking things above may lose contact with the ground under ...read more

What Will People Remember ?

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Sep 17, 2023

Memory, it can get away from you. But when all is said and done, what will others remember about you? Will their memories be pleasant and good-natured, or disagreeable and unpleasant? It all depends on how we live and act around other people, doesn't it.

Alba 9-17-2023 WHAT WILL PEOPLE REMEMBER? I Thessalonians 1:1-5 Do you ever have trouble remembering things? That is not a trick question. Someone said, “I always forget things at the grocery store.

Guilty But Pardoned Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 26, 2021

I cannot give away what I do not have, and so we must first be forgiven in order to forgive. We must believe in God's free grace of forgiveness before we can be free to forgive those who sin against us.

If God did not pardon the guilty there would be no Gospel, for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Even so, we feel there is a danger in being too merciful. Abraham Lincoln was accused of this during the Civil War when he seemed willing to pardon just about anyone. He would defend ...read more

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Aug 14, 2024

When Following Gets Hard...

Contributed by Anitha Jabastion on Aug 17, 2024

The words of John 6:66 strike a solemn note in the heart of any believer. How could it be that those who once followed the Lord, who witnessed His miracles and heard His teachings, would turn away? What happened to cause these disciples to abandon their walk with Christ?
