    This message takes a look at the themes that runs throughout the book of First Peter - separation and suffering.

    Are You A Separatist As I was putting together my notes, it brought me back to when I was in grade school. I can remember my teacher, as we were learning how to spell different words, she would say “Sound the word out and then go look it up in the dictionary.” As many times as I sounded the word ...read more

    There was no room to be found for Mary and Joseph to stay in Bethlehem? Seriously? You'd think someone would have taken pity on a VERY pregnant woman that day, but no one did. Why not?

    Several years ago, a church held a Christmas pageant with a group of 4 year-olds. Everything went along pretty well until Mary and Joseph “arrived” at the inn. The 4 year-old Joseph asked: “Do you have any room for us?”. “No,” replied the innkeeper, “the inn is full.” “But it’s so cold outside, ...read more

    Jesus often responds to our innate sense of unfairness about things that happen (or don't happen) to us with the same words he spoke to the apostle Peter: "What is that to you?"...

    What Is That To You? TCF Sermon October 3, 2010 Consider these two scenarios: First, we have two men who are in the service. Both are capable, loyal, devoted men, committed to doing their jobs.

    If you have ever felt that you had no value based on the statements of others then you need to read this message. As a child of the Most High God, you are extremely valuable to Him!

    You Are Valued Scripture: Luke 12:6-7, Proverbs 27:21; Romans 8:2 Good morning Strangers Rest.

    God twice asks Elijah, "What are you doing here?" This is a good question for us to be asking ourselves - why have we come into the presence of God... even if, like Elijah, we are suffering from burn-out and trying to escape the craziness of life.

    What Are You Doing Here? 1 Kings 19:1-15 One of my new favorite devotional books is titled: An Eclectic Almanac for the Faithful. And I have to admit, I only picked it up at first because of its intriguing title. However, it has become a storehouse of prayer fodder and ideas for contemplation. ...read more

    Jesus criticized the Pharisees for their inability to discern the signs of the times (Matthew 16:3). The signs of our times seem to be indicating an increasing hostility toward Christianity, which has lost its place as the nation’s primary guiding ethic.

    You can run but you can’t hide. That’s certainly true today, amen?

    Who Am I

    Like Peter, we are followers of Jesus. Like Peter, we sometimes have deep faith, and, at other times, a lack of faith. Jesus saw in Peter the same thing he sees in us-building material that can be shaped into a people of faith to serve his reign.

    The Gospel reading from Matthew 16:13-20 takes place in the region of Caesarea Philippi. It was a territory where pagan gods were worshipped, and it is there that Jesus asks Peter a question about his identity; not in some safe territory, but in a non-believing location. Perhaps that is why Jesus ...read more

    Changing the Climate What do you value most in life? What would you be willing to sacrifice everything for? Is there anything?
