    Paul is in the worst physical condition of his life, but he is in the best spiritual condition. This letter to the Philippines was written from a Roman jail following the perilous journey mentioned in Acts 27. Still, Paul is confident, positive, and committed to Jesus.

    In order to be a true Christian, one must embrace both the Person of Jesus and the Work of Jesus on the cross and in his resurrection.

    Bi-Polar Peter (Mark 8:27-33) 1. The term “Bi-Polar” often brings to mind a condition many suffer with, previously known as being “manic-depressive.” 2. But the term Bi-Polar often refers to a set of two extremes. Two sets of bi-polar tastes make up the foundation of ...read more

    The prophet Joel and the apostle John see the same vision! Confirmation that God is speaking.

    The day of the Lord is coming! 2:1-11 It is impossible to imagine what Joel now sees, but we assume it is awful enough to warrant a severe warning. Though we hear the familiar “it is near” as in the Book of Revelation, we are clued in to the reality that the things Joel is about to ...read more

    A perspective on Luke 5: 1-11. How does one give their life to Jesus? There is only one step. Listen to the Word of God. The rest is up to Jesus.

    Luke 5: 1-11 A Risky Business We have heard in our text a fishing story, the failures and success of catching fish. When we look at our picture with Jesus in the fishing boat it appears as if his hands have just cast out the net. But his net is one to catch the shoal of people that have gathered ...read more

    Three Strikes But Not Out!

    Contributed by John Bartol on Jan 26, 2013

    Insights into the fall of Simon Peter through his threefold denial of Christ. How God used the crowing of a rooster, the look of Christ and the prayer of Christ to bring Peter back with tears of heartfelt repentance.

    Three Strikes But Not Out. In our Scripture readings we have seen this truth illustrated in the life of Peter, one of Jesus disciples. At the Last Supper, Jesus said to his disciples. “This very night you will all fall away on account of me, for it is written: I will strike the ...read more

     | 6,632 views

    This book, more than any other, led me to the Lord almost 40 years ago, so it has a gigantic place in my heart and my story of faith. Here is a look at the first chapter, which begins a series that will take us through the entire Apocalypse.

    The Unveiling of Jesus Christ Revelation 1 I began reading the book of Revelation almost 40 years ago, before I had even put my faith in Jesus Christ. We had a large, old, fancy Bible in the house and I began reading it, prompted by some music I was listening to that had a few biblical references. ...read more

    Equal In Dignity, Diverse In Function Series

     | 3,891 views

    In our worship, we are all equal in dignity, but, as Jesus gave different ministries to his disciples, in and out of worship, we differ in function and service; that is the meaning of hierarchy.

    Solemnity of Peter and Paul June 29, 2009 The readings for this solemnity help us to understand how it is that Christ left us–as a gift–a hierarchical Church. I was reading some fairly recent articles in Pastoral Music recently, and came across a rather angry one from a nun who was complaining ...read more

    A walk is a slow, steady, consistent movement from one place to another. A walk moves you from where you’ve been to where you’re going. At the end of Peter’s life, he looked back on his walk. As he looked back, what did he remember? What sustained him

    http://brushforkbanner.blogspot.com/ All throughout the New Testament, the Christian life is compared to walking. Romans 6:4 says, “Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in ...read more
