    An explanation of what the Lord's Supper is, where it derived from, and how we are told to partake of it today. It includes why young children should not partake, nor anyone who has sin in their hearts.

    Today is the first Sunday of the month, and this is the Sunday which we will observe the Lord’s Supper. We will do that at the end of the service today, so I thought it appropriate to talk about Communion so that all would understand what it is, what it means, and that we can be on the same ...read more

In the Gospels Jesus is recorded as saying some lovely things, that we are loved, that we are forgiven, that we are his friends, but in today's Gospel reading, his words are far from lovely.

    Jesus only calls men to be among the 12 disciples? Why no women? IS HE A MALE CHAUVINIST? At first He sends them only to Israel? IS HE A RACIST? I don’t think so.
