    Giving unto God those things that belong to God is a bit tougher than we think!

    Mark 12:13-17 “A pickup full of Manure” To understand this text we need to understand the Herodian philosophy.

    What To Do When Bad Things Happen To God's People

    based on 19 ratings
     | 16,719 views

    God's people often ask "Why has this happened to me?" However, God is not so much interested in why as "what." In this fallen world we cannot prevent bad things from happening. What we do in response to them is another question.

    WHEN BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOD’S PEOPLE? Acts 16:25-34 25 But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. 26 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the ...read more

     | 6,168 views

    These two Psalms give us two very specific challenges: What/who we worship is what we rejoice about … so do we worship God? For us, there is nothing more powerful or restorative than confession of sin, and we need to do that more and more.

    A Reformation sermon focussing on Martin Luther's great discovery that God is for something, being a graceful and merciful God and not just against people and things.

    A question I would like us to think about as God’s church today How do the people you mix with view Christianity today? How does the media view Christianity today? Do they see Christians as ambassadors of God bearing His grace and being generous with His love? or do they see Christianity as ...read more

    NINETEENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST, YEAR B Well, you’ll have to look elsewhere for a complete answer to that question. But it is our contention that the book of Job deals with some profoundly difficult questions in the life of faith, and it does so without easy answers or simplistic cliches

    When we fail to take responsibility for our own mistakes, we fail to recognize that we too are sinners. By taking responsibility for our actions, we repent and receive the gift of forgiveness.

It is elastic, in that it includes a large measure of liberty for the creature; it is rigid in that it includes the ...read more
