The Unfortunate, The Hothead, And The Believer Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Dec 1, 2014

Superstition Or Faith? Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Aug 31, 2020

Biblical Christianity is superior to magic and superstition. Yet we need to rout our superstition in our own lives, too. Biblical faith has no room for superstition.

Superstition or Faith? (Acts 19:11-20) 1. I think it is bad luck to believe in superstition. That’s a joke. “The number 13, black cats, breaking mirrors, or walking under ladders, may all be things you actively avoid – if you’re anything like the 25% of people in the US who consider themselves ...read more

Take Notice And Care!

Contributed by Stephanie M. Stark on Sep 24, 2022

We’ve all been there…lean times…maybe some leaner than others, but we all know what it’s like to get creative with what you’ve got. However, I don’t think any of us have ever been forced to beg on the side of a street, and that is where this morning’s lesson begins.

Grace and peace to you from God, our creator, and our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ. Amen. Growing up I never knew how poor we actually were.
