    Men, I call on you to take responsibility for your wife. Take responsibility for your children. Take responsibility for your church. Take some responsibility even for your city. Jesus is our model for masculinity.

    In Peter’s first letter – a letter that we have been focusing on since May of 2008 – Peter tells men that right living will help them pray. Peter tells us that our prayers can be clogged by how we treat our wives. This is an especially important commandment in our day for the definitions of men ...read more

    Our goal is to live for one another; yet time and circumstances do not allow us that luxury and we fail. Most importantly we let God down, and when we do so, we feel bad; but Jesus knew that, and so, he tells us what to do, if we can only take his advice.

    Both Josephs trusted God in difficult situations. Both Josephs were pillars who protected others because they took the Lord seriously.

    All the players in the Christmas story celebrated. Let us take our cue from them!

    The Celebration of Christmas Luke 2:1-20 * One of my most favorite Christian Christmas Songs is entitled, “Come on ring those bells.” One of the reasons that I love it so much is that it focuses on the “Celebration” of the Christ Child. The second verse goes like this, “Celebrations come because ...read more

    Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on May 25, 2024
     | 975 views

    Nicodemus comes to Jesus under the cloak of evening to ask some very important questions that lead to life. His questions mirror many of our own .

    Today’s passage is a remarkable dialogue between our Lord Jesus and a key leader among the religious higher-ups, who, generally speaking, were very hostile to Jesus. Nicodemus had a different response though to Jesus, he had a different spirit about him. He took his role of spiritual leadership ...read more
