    Why did the four fishermen follow Jesus? They desired things to be made right in the kingdom of God, and they wanted their lives to count. How is God calling us? The time to respond is NOW.

    JESUS CALLING—Mark 1:14-20 ***Have you heard this riddle? “A man walks into a bar and asks the bartender for a glass of water. The bartender pulls out a gun and points it at the man with a menacing look. The man says, ‘Thank you,’ and walks out. What is going on?” It all makes sense, when you ...read more

    It is because we’re only human that we can come into God’s presence only under Jesus’ sponsorship, and clothed in his grace.

    I got an offer last week that I almost didn’t refuse. It was from a travel company who, in return for my coming to a one-hour pitch for their company, would give me 4 free days and nights in any one of dozens of different destinations, and if I came between Tuesday and Thursday they’d double the ...read more

    Have you ever said something like this? “I don’t know how it happened. I got sucked in, and I couldn’t seem to avoid it.” “Why did I say that?

    Contributed by Vic Folkert on Apr 15, 2019
     | 4,582 views

    As we pray, we recognize sources of temptation: the world, the flesh, and the devil. We commit ourselves to overcoming with God's help: Know what is right, tell the truth, build a life too good to lose, and play to win.

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Dec 8, 2023
     | 2,357 views

    Acts 20 has a summary of Paul's ministry in various places after he left Ephesus. His closing message to the elders of Ephesus is a masterpiece of a charge to church leaders anywhere.

    1 Paul’s journeys from Ephesus to Troas Text, Acts 20:1-6, KJV: 1 And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto him the disciples, and embraced them, and departed for to go into Macedonia. 2 And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece, 3 And ...read more

    Jesus’ job is not to make things easy for us. It is to save us from sin and death, not from suffering and life. Life includes suffering.

    Just a few weeks ago we celebrated the 150th anniversary of this church: a century and a half of vital, energetic, faithful ministry and worship. And in just another couple of weeks we will be closing the door on that history. This is not what you expected when you first embarked on your journey ...read more

     | 8,983 views

    Scripture says that Jesus is our "mediator." What is a mediator and what did Jesus do to fill that need in our lives?

    OPEN: Humorist Dave Barry once wrote about gifts that were given to Jesus by the Wise Men. He suggested that if you carefully analyzed what the Bible tells us, you’d find there was an overlooked theological fact in the story. There is no mention of wrapping paper. Now why would the wisemen not use ...read more

    Imagining how and why Lydia moved from being a pagan to a god-fearer, and then to beecoming a follower of Jesus.

    This is the story of Lydia, the first woman pastor in the Christian church (at least as far as we know). And it almost never happened. You see, Paul and Silas hadn’t planned to go to Macedonia at all. They had hardly begun to scratch the surface of Asia Minor - that’s where present-day Turkey is. ...read more
