Contributed by Ian Bullock on Aug 13, 2020

Looking at why the Pharisees were offended, and how the woman who was likened to a dog wasn't. Then thinking about why we are offended by the things of the world.

In the name of the Father, Son and Holy spirit. Amen.

Whom Do We Serve (1 Samuel 12)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Apr 8, 2025

Whom do we serve, politics, a king, or God? Let's begin in 1 Samuel 12.

Israel rejected God as king, by choosing a human king. God still worked with them but warned them that something important was still required. Are following and obeying the Lord important to us? Let’s look in 1 Samuel 12. Did Samuel challenge Israel that he was an honest man who did not defraud or ...read more

The Name Above All Names At Which We Bend Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 9, 2025

The Son of God was divine already, but He thought it unfair to glom onto that identity. He became the face of the divine compassion and enduring love, God’s hesed, by emptying Himself of all His divine glory, all His divine dignity.

No, the reading that is crucial to an understanding of ...read more

But God had a purpose in us not knowing everything. Illus: A man was wandering around a fairground and he happened to see a fortuneteller's tent. Thinking it would be good for a laugh, he went inside and sat down. "Ahh....." said the woman, as she gazed into her crystal ball. ...read more

When Catastrophes Happen, Whom Do We Blame?

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 6, 2025

When something really bad happens, we look for a scapegoat to take the blame. For lots of troubles, our response is to blame God, praying “why did you do this to us, Lord?”
