    Have you noticed how frequently Jesus is depicted eating? Luke mentions 19 meals, 13 unique to this gospel alone. This reveals something special about Jesus—He valued meals not just for food but as powerful opportunities for ministry, relationship-building, and extending God's kingdom.

    The Most Important Invitation

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Oct 21, 2023
     | 1,438 views

    Jesus, in the Parable of the Wedding Feast, gives us what is for us the most important invitation we will ever receive, to come to the feast. The invitation is for Eternal Joy, yet many make excuses not to attend. Join us this week as we look at the most important invitation.

    There are parables, like the Shrewd Manager, which are confusing without cultural background, and the Prodigal Son, which has many different applications. Today we have what I think is Jesus most complete and clear parable, and I hope to walk thru it and actually not surprise you at all. This ...read more

    Do I Really Want To Become More Like Jesus?

     | 4,671 views

    This is a tough question! Do I want to become more like Jesus, or do I want God to help me become more the person that I selfishly want to be?

    Was Jesus a nice, polite, mild-mannered, good-natured young man who kept himself to himself? Was Jesus middle-of-the-road, all things to all people, politically correct, and softly spoken? Was Jesus the most inoffensive man you could ever wish to meet? I wonder what kind of gentle, meek and mild ...read more
