The Response To Jesus: Zacchaeus Series

Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Nov 20, 2012

So, Zacchaeus was named bright, clean or pure. Unfortunately he grew up to be the complete opposite. One of the first things we learn of Zacchaues from Luke 19 is that he is the chief tax collector in the region. He’s not just a tax collector like Matt

The Hebrew name Zacchaeus is taken from a Hebrew word Zakak which means to be bright, clean or pure. I can imagine that when Zaccheaus was a wee little baby his mom and dad had bright hopes for him. Names had significant meaning for the ancient Jew. Mary named her son Jesus the Greek version of ...read more

The Response To Jesus: Judas And Peter Series

Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Nov 20, 2012

Last week we discussed the response to Jesus by Zacchaeus. His response was immediate. We talked last week about how our response to Jesus needs to be like this tax collector. We must own up to our mistakes. Repent, and then offer our lives as an example of what a follower of Jesus looks like. ...read more

Jesus Is The Boss

Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Aug 8, 2012

Everybody has a boss. We all know what it means to have a boss. One of the churchy words we use is the word, “Lord”. I don’t think that we have a really good understanding of that word, simply because it’s not a word we use in everyday vernacular
