    When Jesus told his disciples he was leaving he also had good news: They wouldn't be left alone. But who was it that Jesus was sending?

    Beyond A Reasonable Doubt

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Aug 19, 2023
     | 1,762 views

    At first the disciples doubted. But when faced with the evidence, they weighed it, tested it, and then acted upon it. Their verdict has stood the test of time. And the grounds on which they stood are the same grounds upon which we can stand.

    Why do you suppose is it that, faced with the same data, some people interpret it one way and some people interpret it another? You have only to look at the George Floyd riots – and the other ones later that year - to know that. Not even exhaustive investigations convince people whose minds are ...read more

    Contributed by Rev Emmanuel O. Adejugbe on Jan 21, 2026
     | 146 views

    Job sits in ashes demanding answers from God. But instead of anger, he declares: "When He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold." This sermon unpacks what that means. God isn't punishing you in the silence. God is refining you.

    The Shift from Lament to Hope Something shifts in Job 23:10. After pages and pages of complaint, after rounds of friends insisting, he must have sinned, after crying out into a silent heaven, Job suddenly changes direction. Picture him there. Sitting in ashes. Scraping his skin with a broken piece ...read more
