: (…continued from the previous bulletin). A profound event occurs at the end of John chapter 9. The man who was blind from birth has been healed. As he worships Jesus—whom he can see for the first time—Jesus says, “For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those… Read More »
His Faithfulness
I am always struck by the story of Peter’s forceful declaration that even if the other disciples all fell away and left Jesus, he would not. This, of course, was a promise arising from Peter’s strong feelings of devotion to the Lord. Those feelings are natural, so there is nothing wrong with them. Still, they… Read More »
Home Again
Our souls were exposed to a lie. In the heavens, before time and creation, Lucifer lied. He told us we were beautiful apart from God, worthy of being separate and independent of God. We were self-determining and self-sustaining. The result of this lie was creation and time. God’s response was to make a place for… Read More »
No Greater Honor
: Last week’s bulletin ended with a question, “Can a greater honor exist?” The question was posed after an article about faith in the Son of God making us worthy to approach the throne of God’s grace with our praise, thanksgiving, petitions, confessions, fears, anxieties, and hopes, knowing that He hears us—and responds. The answer… Read More »
Worthy By Faith
“How great is the love the Father has lavished upon us that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!” 1Jn 3:1 I don’t suppose I ever heard this verse or anything like it as a young man growing up in “organized religion.” If anything, I heard that I was… Read More »
The Cost Of Discipleship
During last Sunday’s sermon, I touched upon the moment when Jesus said, “In the same way, any of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be my disciple.” Lk 14:33. I know that we all call ourselves disciples of Christ, but we have not given up everything. Is something wrong? Time for… Read More »
We Live By Faith
We live by faith, not by sight. -2Cor 5:7. Paul’s statement is profound. By it, we know that our faith in Jesus Christ for salvation is all we need for this Christian life as well. Likewise, Peter wrote, “His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of… Read More »
Who, Not How
I found the following in my journal, though I do not remember writing it. “The how of this day has been replaced by the Who of this day. I don’t have to worry about how or what will happen during this day. To abide in Christ is to dwell in the Sovereignty of the Holy… Read More »
Entrusted with God’s Secret Things
God has caused us to stay true to the Gospel of His Son Jesus. It is the good news of the unconditional love of God pouring out to us in the blood of His only Son unto death, that we could be saved. I know that I can preach no other message. I also know… Read More »
Something Better For Us
Speaking about the Old Testament believers like Abraham and King David, the Bible records, “These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised. God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect.” -Heb 11:39-40. Well, I must admit that… Read More »
