     | 114 views

    A reflective call for a modern generation to stop hiding behind progress and rediscover God’s presence through honest surrender.

    A favorite game my boys used to play was hide-and-seek. They thought they were experts at it—but they usually hid in plain sight.

    “Starting Over” 2 Cor. 5:17 Negative Starting Lines: In most cases “starting over” means PAIN. Divorce for example brings devastating results.

    Jesus Left Behind At The Temple

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Jan 6, 2024
     | 2,438 views

    The account in Luke 2 of Jesus in the Temple reveals two incredible things. First, how wonderful our relationship with God the Father will be when all the effects of sin are removed from our lives. Second, how much our Savior gave up for us and for our redemption when he took humanity on himself.

    Today we have a unique story, in that it’s the only story of Jesus growing up. Only Matthew and Luke give us the nativity, and only Luke tells this ONE story that fills the huge gap between the wise men, and Jesus turning 30 and his Baptism in the Jordan River. I think our imaginations always run ...read more

    We need to tell Satan to get out of our lives when he is there trying to tempt us because we are doing Christ’s will for our lives.

    Get Behind Me Satan Out of all of the disciples, I think I like Peter the best. He reminds me a lot of myself. Peter always had good intentions, but his mouth was always getting him in trouble with Jesus. I am the same way. I speak before I think and end up sticking my foot in my mouth. ...read more

    John's most basic concern is to give this church confidence again in what they have believed about Jesus. And he reminds them that this message is carried by the church that listens to the Apostles, and it isn't found anywhere else.

    Sermon by Rev John Altmann There are a number of ways that people leave churches, for both good and bad reasons. A good reason to leave is to be sent out to serve in another place.
