    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Aug 20, 2021
     | 1,494 views

    In the Eucharist, Jesus inaugurated a new mode of presence in “Lord’s supper” (1 Cor 11:20) or the “breaking of the bread” (Acts 2:42,46)

    (1) What the Eucharist is not—Cannibalism. Two men who lived in a small town got into a terrible dispute that they could not resolve. So, they decided to talk to the wisest man in town. The first man went to the house of the wise man and told him his version of what happened. When he finished, ...read more

    Paul shares his inner thoughts and heartfelt desire with the Thessalonians. His testimony was blameless as he laboured for the believers at Thessalonica, but he always encountered opposition. We look at walking with God.

    We hear in Mark 1:29 today that “Jesus entered the house of Simon [Peter] and Andrew.” A team of archaeologists have discovered this exact house in Capernaum made up of black basalt walls that are still in very good shape. It reminds me of a man who hired a carpenter to build a fence. He told ...read more

    God calls us. Jesus has taught us, "Many are called, but few are chosen." However, the first time man was called by God, what was the purpose of His calling? The message explores that call and refocuses the divine call to our generation.

    The LORD God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?” [1] G reat questions are not meant to reveal information to the interlocutor; great questions are meant to compel the one questioned to discover what should have been obvious. All of us have a tendency to wear masks. In fact, the ...read more

    Contemplative Prayer

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 10, 2022
     | 1,658 views

    Contemplative prayer is much like two lovers in love with each other. In contemplation we use new approaches or tools, if you will, to hear God more completely, intimately, or thoroughly.

    Mark 1:35 – “35 Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he got up, went out, and made his way to a deserted place; and there he was praying.” This verse reminds me of how important it is to get away by myself and totally focus on God as I pray.
