Spring Offerings (Numbers 28)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Dec 5, 2024

How do the Spring festivals picture the Christian life? Let's look at Numbers 28.

Is our love for God and neighbor total, like a burnt offering? Let’s look at Numbers 28. Were morning and evening offerings to be made daily? ...read more

Just What Is This Anyway? Manna? Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 6, 2023

We see the miracle of God in the desert called “manna which you did not know, nor did your fathers know.”

Corpus Christi 2023 Today’s solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ is called Corpus Christi, for short, because prior to the major calendar changes late in the last century, the Precious Blood of Christ had its own separate feast.

Who Was Melchizedek And Why Should We Care? Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 18, 2025

Our psalm today describes King David and his successors as priest-kings in the order of Melchizedek. David, like Melchizedek, functioned during his reign as King of Jerusalem, but there were times he presided at sacrifices, before his son built the Temple.

Christmas Story Was In Unimpressive Surroundings - Yet A Spectacular Event

Contributed by Tim Baker on Dec 19, 2017

The birth of Christ was in an unimpressive city, with an unimpressive birthing room, with an unimpressive crib, with unimpressive visitors, for the most impressive event in human history. Why did Jesus start with such humble beginnings?

Can‘t You Read The Sign!? Mark 3: 1-6

Contributed by James Lee on Nov 21, 2013

A number of times, the religionists had attacked Jesus, accusing Him of teaching a false religion. I guess they often wondered… “Hey Jesus! Can’t You read the sign!? We have rule against that kind of stuff!” In Mark chapter three we see yet another confrontation.

While thinking about this message I was reminded of a song from my hippy days… And the sign said "Long-haired freaky people need not apply" So I tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why He said "You look like a fine upstanding young man, I think you'll do" So I took off my ...read more

Communion Confusion

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Oct 2, 2018

Is communion a sacrament, ordinance or memorial? Are bread and wine mere symbols or is there something deeper?
