Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 22, 2022

Martha, Lazarus, and Mary each model a discipleship verb. Together, they paint a picture of a true disciple.

Two weeks ago, everything changed in the gospel of John. Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, in the full sight of a large group of Judeans. And when the Judeans saw this, "many" gave their allegiance to Jesus. In an instant, they moved from being stubborn, and hard-hearted, and ...read more

Breaking Our Flask

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 1, 2022

Some people, like Judas, are ignoring God's call, as they are too busy making their life in this world secure. Like the woman who broke her alabaster flask, we must break our flesh so the good things of God can pour out of us.

Henry Ward Beecher once said, “In this world it is not what we take up, but what we give up, that makes us rich.”(1) Our passages of Scripture for this morning speak of sacrifice. One definition of sacrifice is “to offer to God in homage or worship,” and another one is “to destroy, surrender, or ...read more

Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 26, 2025

God’s purposes are not fragile. Human choices are real, and God redeems them—freeing us from fear, paralysis, and transactional faith so we can move forward in trust.

--- Stuck Between Floors Have you ever been stuck in an elevator? Not falling. Not crashing. Just… stuck. The doors won’t open. The buttons don’t respond. Time stretches.

Jars Of Clay

Contributed by Pastor Renji George on Jan 7, 2026

The Lord is pleased to choose the humblest, and lowliest, and weakest servants to carry His transforming truth. He has put the priceless treasure of new covenant-saving gospel truth in clay pots.

2 Corinthians 4:7 - “But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.” Jars are fragile things. They break easily. Jars of clay are also cheap things. They are not made of fine china or expensive ivory. Paul says he and his Apostolic band ...read more
