Contributed by Stephanie M. Stark on Sep 24, 2022

We’ve all been there…lean times…maybe some leaner than others, but we all know what it’s like to get creative with what you’ve got. However, I don’t think any of us have ever been forced to beg on the side of a street, and that is where this morning’s lesson begins.

Grace and peace to you from God, our creator, and our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ. Amen. Growing up I never knew how poor we actually were. When my mom made macaroni and cheese with ranch style beans, I thought it was because she was trying to be creative, and not because that was all there ...read more

Love Takes Work

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Sep 4, 2023

Love is something we have to work at. It doesn't just instantly happen. Love at first sight can often be cured with a second look! We are not meant to FALL in love with anyone. We are meant to GROW in love. Growing in love is like planting a garden, it takes a lot of hard work.

The Bible is a book of signs and wonders. And when God did miracles through his son Jesus Christ here on earth, what it did was it made cynical people into saints. The doubters, who saw Lazarus come out of a grave, no longer doubted that Jesus Christ had the power over death. They just saw it and ...read more
