When God Moves Through Us

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on May 25, 2020

Pentecost showed a God whose power comes upon us, whose presence rests gently upon us, and whose power manifests through us, to help a world in much need of a loving and forgiving Christ.

Acts 2:1-21 When God Moves Through Us A few days after Thanksgiving of 2016, Eric Heffelmire was working on his GMC truck at his family home in Vienna, Virginia.

Praising God In Bad Times

Contributed by Russell (Rusty) Pruitt on Jun 7, 2020

In II Chronicles 20, we read about King Jehoshaphat of Judah. The Moabites, long-time enemies of Judah, had formed a powerful alliance with the Ammonites and other surrounding nations and marched against Jehoshaphat.

The enemy forces were encamped at Ein Gedi. The king and his people were filled with alarm, so Jehoshaphat called a fast and began to seek the Lord as did all the people. In his prayer, Jehoshaphat talked about evil coming upon the nation, in the form of the sword, judgment, pestilence, or famine. ...read more

Daniel's Prayer Of Confession, Part 2

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jul 6, 2020

All of us have to say sorry to God. Daniel's prayer has much to teach about saying sorry. In particular, Daniel accepts that he shares responsibilty for the sin of his people.

Last week I did a first talk on Daniel’s prayer of confession. I’m going to assume that you can roughly remember what I talked about last week. That might be a mistake, but even if you can’t, I don’t think it should be too much of a problem for following my talk today. At the end of last week’s ...read more

Easter: "we Had Hoped..."

Contributed by Vic Folkert on Mar 27, 2020

We say it, just like the 2 disciples on the way to Emmaus. Jesus 1) opens the conversation, 2) opens the Scriptures, and 3) opens our eyes. Jesus is alive, and our hope is alive!

EASTER: “WE HAD HOPED…” --Luke 24:13-35 On a Sunday, about 2000 years ago, 2 disciples were walking down the road. It might have been 2 men, or a man and wife. They were walking from Jerusalem to Emmaus, about 7 miles. It was a walk of despair, for their hopes and dreams were gone. Read Luke ...read more
