Jesus often used simple stories (parables) to communicate profound truths.
Which is the Greater Tragedy?
In a world where tragedy seems ever-present, it’s easy to lose sight of what truly matters. Discover why the greatest tragedy isn’t what we often think it is.
Plucking the Grain
As you walk through the fields with the Master today, be sure to pluck some grain off the stalks, and don’t keep anyone who is hungering or thirsting for the Father from doing the same.
Love Your Neighbor
We would do well to consider who our neighbor is. Who have we knowingly—or unknowingly—excluded?
Who Dared to Anoint Jesus?
Our actions are often an accurate reflection of our thoughts about Jesus and the nature of our relationship with Him. But an even more telling indicator is our inaction or our failure to act.
His Face Was Set
No matter what was on Jesus’s “to do list,” His face was always set, His eye was always focused, and His stride never wavered from His ultimate purpose.
Then the Devil Came
At the Jordan River, Jesus identified with us through His baptism; in the Judaean wilderness, He identified with us through His temptation.
The Time Has Come
As 2024 approaches and begins, many of us are taking time to revisit our priorities for the new year.
The Lost Son
A message of grace, of forgiveness, of restoration, and of acceptance.
Sermon of Sermons
Gratefully, Jesus was not delivering a message of new commandments we are to keep. Rather, He was describing the fruit that is produced in and through our lives as we remain in Him.
Can i Trust Him?
Can i trust Jesus Christ where my common sense cannot trust Him?
More Than Enough
Trust Him to do more than enough . . . because He is . . . more than enough!
Take It From The Fish
Take it from the fish … who i’m sure has quite a story to tell!
Only One Gave Thanks
Have we settled for being grateful instead of being thankful?
Fishers of Men
Their response required total surrender. And to their credit, they didn’t hesitate. Their lives were never the same after that … and neither will ours.
It All Started With A Little Detour
It was one of those unforeseen events that occurred out of the blue. But the further you traveled down the road of that particular detour, the more agitated you became.
A Disciple Whom Jesus Loves
The writer of the Gospel of John wants us to know the Jesus whom he loved, so that we might also come to know that we are a disciple whom Jesus loves.
Recklessly Abandoned
The wind was blustery, and the waves were towering, but Peter was no longer seeing or hearing them as he stepped out of the boat with reckless abandonment.
A Journey to Our Well
There is a journey each of us take most every day. It is a journey to a “well” where we go to meet a need in our lives. Such was the case with the Samaritan woman, and we would do well to learn from her encounter.
An Honest Seeker
Rather than choosing to honestly seek Jesus and receive His truth, many in the first century opted to harden their hearts and vilify Him. Sadly, it still happens today.
