    Solemnity Of The Ascension Of The Lord: Under His Feet

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on May 27, 2025
     | 242 views

    To rise, ascend up, into the next level living, seated with Christ, rising to a place of trust to take dominion over what troubles us; over all limitations.

    Christ's winning hand is His death and resurrection, but I have a fellow diocesan priest friend who likes to remind others that it’s not just Jesus’ death and resurrection but his Ascension too, which completes the paschal mystery. The Paschal Mystery in Christianity is from the Hebrew ...read more

    The call of the Holy Spirit is always to a higher place. It is a dangerous thing to settle anywhere along the way. There should be built into the DNA of the believer the desire fore more of God.

    I'M GOING UP Psalm 24:3-5 KJVS - 3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? 4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. 5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness ...read more

    God adopts us into His family through Jesus, offering true belonging and purpose beyond our natural ties, inviting everyone to a place at His table.

    Have you ever noticed how the family refrigerator becomes a gallery of grace? Smudged fingerprints. Crayon drawings. Photos held up by a magnet that looks like a banana. Report cards with coffee stains. A wedding invitation tucked next to a grocery list. That door tells a story. We want to belong. ...read more

    God meets us in our weakness, offering sustaining grace and strength through prayer, transforming our struggles into places where His power and love are revealed.

    Some of us came in today weary, worried, and a little worn. We know what it is to smile on the outside while something aches on the inside. You’ve got a thorn that throbs—maybe it’s a diagnosis, a disappointment, a deadline, or a relationship that feels like a riddle you can’t solve. You’ve prayed ...read more

     | 1,075 views

    If you feel like you are out of place, don't worry. That first Easter morning no one "got it." So if you don't get it, if you doubt, if you feel like this whole thing is crazy, you are in the right place. We don't have all the answers, we are just looking for them.

    Back when I was growing up, there was a pattern almost everyone followed, or at least we appeared to. We woke on Sunday, got into dress clothes, went to Sunday school and worship, and topped it off with a hearty lunch. Then, to further date myself, we would tune our black and white tv on to one ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 3, 2024
     | 910 views

    The heart of God yearned for repentance and Israel's return from idolatry. Israel was carried away in judgement, and Judah did not learn. It was so joined to idolatry that God kept likening it to an adulterous wife He would receive back if the nation repented. Faithless, treacherous Judah.

    In the midst of this pandemic, where do we find hope? What do we have to grasp onto to steady us? Where is our light in all of this darkness? Where is our anchor, our lifeline in this storm? In the Bible.

    Well … I don’t have to tell you, the whole world as we know it is undergoing something I’ve never seen in my lifetime … and I hope that I will never see anything like this again in my lifetime … however long that might be.
