Roadwork Series

Contributed by Tim Smith on May 28, 2015

When you think of it, roadwork is a pretty good analogy of the journey of faith. God accepts us where we are but wants us to become like his Son. For most of us, that means there’s serious roadwork to do.

Road Work Mark 8:34-38 My wife and I used to live Uptown on Octavia Street between Constance and Laurel just two blocks from Tchoupitoulas. At that time, the Port of Orleans was redoing Tchoupitoulas. When the street was dug up, they found that many of the feeder drainage pipes from the ...read more

Highway From Heaven

Contributed by David Roth on Jan 24, 2015

Epiphany 2 B. Jesus calls Nathanael as a disciple telling him that he will see angels ascending and descending on the Son of Man, a reference to Jacob's Ladder. Christ has united us to the Father, a bridge, ladder, or highway connecting earth and heaven.

“Highway from Heaven” Epiphany 2 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. Connections. Our lives seem to be all about connections. Our homes need utilities – water, gas, ...read more

Christmas Message Isaiah 7:10-14 & Matthew 1:23

Contributed by Ken Henson on Dec 3, 2013

God takes a curse and turns it into a blessing. The prophecy a virgin would bring forth a son expressed God's displeasure with Ahab, yet God took that warning to Ahab and used it as a blessing to us. God, even today, turns our curses to blessings.

The Angels’ Song Series

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Dec 23, 2018

Birth announcements can engage us. In Luke 2:11, God speaks through an angel to offer hope at Christmas. And Christmas is really all about Easter, that God loves us enough to offer salvation through his son Jesus.

No Se Lavaban Las Manos

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Aug 1, 2018

Jesús está diciendo que no son las cosas externas sino las internas, las que tienen que ver con la disposición del corazón. las que pueden o santificarnos o llevarnos al pecado.

22B Marcos 7:3 nos habla hoy de los fariseos y judíos que no comían sin lavarse antes las manos, y purificar los vasos, las jarras y las ollas. Hay un dicho, "la limpieza va del lado de la piedad. La razón por la que los discípulos no se lavaban las manos en ese episodio de nuestro ...read more

Children You Are Being Duped

Contributed by Doris Bowers on Mar 29, 2022

Our primary task as parents is to prepare our sons and daughters to walk according to God’s plan, God’s will, and God’s purpose for their lives. Failure to raise our kids under a purpose and a plan reaps serious consequences.

Miracles

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Apr 19, 2022

It can be confusing to understand when to expect God to intervene in our lives in the form of a miracle and when not to expect it. Jesus' encounter with a widow who had just lost her only son can give us some clues.

Two weeks ago we wrapped up the account of the Sermon on the Mount from Luke’s Gospel. This morning we take up the story again of the amazing things that happened as Jesus traveled from town to town in Israel, announcing and demonstrating the kingdom of God. This morning’s text is Luke 7:11-17. ...read more

Preached To Death

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 11, 2022

In this account, Eutychus attended church in order to worship God, but he wound up dying right there in the preaching service! Do you think that you could trust God, or His Son, Jesus Christ, in a situation like this? Paul did!

At my first pastorate, during the middle of a funeral service, the floor to the sanctuary gave a loud pop like lightning striking, and then it fell about six to eight inches! The floor later had to be completely replaced. At another church where I pastored, the ceiling fell in; and of course, the ...read more
