Peter The Son Of Lightning Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 18, 2021

Peter made mistakes, but he was not stupid. He never stuck with a mistake when he saw it for what it was. He was a great man just because he could retreat as fast as he advanced when he saw he was going the wrong direction.

Some years back a young girl was caught out in a thunder storm as she rode her bicycle. She made it to the top of the hill and then headed down as fast as she could go. When she got home she told a strange tale. Every time there was a flash of lightning blue flames ran across her handle bars. Had ...read more

Mission Possible

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 24, 2023

Peter could only do the impossible as long as he focused on Jesus instead of on his surroundings.

As sometimes happens, this sermon took a turn I had not expected once I really got into it. Not a very big one, mind you, but I would up focusing on the gospel lesson instead of Paul’s letter to the Galatians. I do like, when I can, to tie the three lessons together, and these three seemed to be ...read more

The Art Of Listening

Contributed by Curry Pikkaart on Feb 22, 2012

Former President Bill Clinton once said, "Being president is like running a cemetery; you've got a lot of people uner you...and nobody's listening." I think that God often feels like no one listens to Him.

“The Art of Listening” Luke 9:28-45 Former President Bill Clinton once said, “Being President is like running a cemetery: you’ve got a lot of people under you . . . and nobody’s listening.” I have a hunch that it’s not only presidents who feel this way. ...read more
