Asking for Anything
Grace,
mercy, and peace to you from God our Father, and from our Lord and Savior,
Jesus Christ. Amen.
As
human beings, we spend a great deal of our lives interacting with others.
God created us to be in relationships; not only with Him, but also with
our fellow creatures. Some…
Leap Before You Look
Christ is risen! He is risen indeed, alleluia!
Grace, mercy, and peace to you from God our Father, and from our risen Lord and
Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
No doubt most of you have heard the “light bulb” jokes
that have been making the rounds for several years. The basic structure…
A View of Faith
It’s pretty easy for
us to slam Thomas for his doubts about Jesus’ resurrection. Thomas had seen
the wonders of Jesus’ miracles, including three instances when Jesus had
brought someone back from the dead. Maybe he thought that while Jesus could do
that for others, He wouldn’t be able to do that for Himself, being God or…
I Have Seen the Lord
Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia!
Disciples of our Risen Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ:
What had Mary Magdalene expected
to see that first Easter morning? What she actually experienced that early dawn
is certainly not what she expected. Nor could Mary have expected what she had
…
Whom Do You Seek? What Do You Fear?
There’s
an old fable you’ve probably heard. I know it’s old, because it originated in
ancient Greece even before the time of Jesus. A fox is venturing through the
woods one day, and comes upon a lush vine, covered with large, juicy, succulent
grapes. There’s only one problem—the grapes are all hanging high in the air,
well…
Rescue From the Body of Death
Even
many who don’t trust in Christ as their Savior or respect God’s Law understand
that certain things are wrong. Since His Law is written in the human heart,
even most unbelievers can identify what is sinful and what is not. Many
disregard the Law’s wisdom and truth, of course, just as they reject the…
Taking Out the Trash
Grace, mercy, and peace to you from God our Father,
and from our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
It’s been years and years since I’ve seen it, but
every time I think of it, I still chuckle. I don’t remember exactly how long
ago it was, but I know that I was just old enough and just wise…
Sabbath & Authority
As those of you who attended last week’s Wednesday
Lenten services will remember, this year we are focusing on two of the Ten
Commandments at each of our midweek services. Last week we covered the 1st
and 2nd commandments, and today we move on to the 3rd and
4th.
In our way of numbering the commandments,…
Irritation and Healing
Grace,
mercy, and peace to you from God our Father, and from our Lord and Savior,
Jesus Christ. Amen.
Change is
all around us. For better or for worse, nothing of this world stays the same
for long. Just think of the changes in such things as technology,
transportation, medicine, and world affairs…
Above All Things
In the name of Jesus (+). Amen.
Lent: Forty days of reflection and repentance,
preparing us spiritually for the passion, death, and resurrection of our Lord.
Those events to which we look forward each year in Holy Week are the culmination
and the focus of Jesus’ entire life and ministry. These five-and-a-half weeks which
precede Holy Week…
