Growing A Contented Spirit Series

In an age of commercialism that breeds discontent we are challenged by Scripture to live a contented life. Paul explains how we can be content in any and every situation.

GROWING A CONTENTED SPIRIT On a scale of one to ten (one being discontent and ten being very content) how content are you overall with your life? Think about that for a moment. Contentment is an illusive quality today. Much of the business world works hard to breed discontent so that we will buy ...read more

A prophetic call to conduct God’s justice

He was the prophet in overalls, a farmer who wore clodhoppers on his feet, calluses on his hands, and righteous anger in his heart. Amos was his name.

God stands at the end of our rabbit trails when we have exhausted all human options

You’ve probably heard the phrase, “going down a rabbit trail.” Wild rabbits don’t like to saunter down Main Street; they prefer bolting down trails leading deep into the woods. (By the way, jackrabbits are capable of speeds up to 40 mph to evade predators). To go down a “rabbit trail,” then, means ...read more

God is a jilted spouse with a persistent love for an unfaithful partner--us.

She was a floozy, the kind of girl your mother warned you about and your dad might take a sneak peek at. She wore purple eye shadow, thick mascara and lipstick so red that hummingbirds buzzed around her. Her dresses were always a size or two smaller than they should have been, and her walk was more ...read more

God calls and commissions ordinary people into service

It was a church service of one.

God’s love for all people compels us into the deep--not stay in the dock

It’s the Bible story that everybody knows, right? Even unchurched folks can tell you about Jonah. He was the guy swallowed by the whale. A story immortalized in children’s picture books everywhere. A fantastic, bizarre tale of a reluctant prophet, a huge fish, and a pagan city. Do you remember the ...read more

When the Son comes out, we discover peace, resurrection power and a commission to move beyond our church walls.

Years ago, my two sons attended a spiritual gifts retreat for children. On the way home from the campgrounds, the boys’ mother wanted to know what they had discovered. She asked our younger son, “What’s your spiritual gift, Sam?” Sam stuck out his chest and proudly announced, “Mom, my spiritual ...read more

Viewing the Holiness of God caused Isaiah to exclaim the heart-attack language of "Woe is me!" and does the same to us, the season of Lent is a time in the Christian year to examine ourselves and have a heart attack experience as well.

Goal: That we might be so stricken to the heart that we are shocked into realizing our place before a Holy God. Malady: We’re building up with complacency. Means: Christ came to us, became heartache for us, and In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit – the HOLY Three ...read more

God has sent a Valentine’s card to you, postmarked with the blood of his precious Son.

It’s a small town – one of those kind of towns people make jokes about. You’ve heard ‘em – “that town is so small that when you dial the wrong number, the person on the other end gives you the right number.” "It’s so small that there’s no place to go that you shouldn’t." "It’s so small that Third ...read more

The waters of commitment call us to take a plunge, but will we let fear take over?

My younger son, Sam, loves to swim. I remember the days when he took his first swimming lessons. Like most kids, he loved the water and just dived right in. Some swimmers are like that – plungers. How many of you like to plunge right in? How many of you like to take your time getting into the ...read more

Three Parades

The parade that wound into Jerusalem on that long ago Sunday was exciting -- but it can’t hold a candle to the parade that took place on Friday.

The parade route begins near the twin towns of Bethpage and Bethany, less than two miles from Jerusalem and winds into the Holy City. The Grand Marshal is an unlikely hero – a rustic from a blue-collar town up north, the son of a woodworker. In keeping with his “common man” image, he decides to ...read more

Christians are witnesses of the light who have seen something, have something to say, and who have a dangerous but rewarding job.

“Witness” By Mark Winter Text: John 1:1-9 Have you ever read a scripture so thoroughly that you believe there’s nothing else to wring out of it? That’s what I thought with John’s Prologue, when suddenly verse 8 leapt out: “He himself was not the light (meaning John the Baptist); he came only as a ...read more
