Liar, Lunatic or Lord

July 31, 2022

If what Jesus claims here is true, and He says it is true, then Jesus is the great “I am?”  Jesus is divine.  He is God in the flesh.  He is the eternal God who has always existed – the eternal God who reigns over all creation, and Almighty God who will one day return and to judge the living and the dead.  But He is also the God of grace who has made it possible for you to never see death. 

Let Mercy Lead

July 10, 2022

We are all like this condemned woman.  Our fate is in the hands of Jesus.  And if you believe in Jesus, then His mercy leads you to a whole new life with Him.  A life where you don’t just leave your life of sin, but a life where you want to live and love just like Jesus.  A life where you let mercy lead.  That’s the whole point of the Gospel.

The Power of Jesus

May 8, 2022

We are not left with the idea that Jesus is just one of many ways to get to heaven. He does not leave us that option. In fact, Jesus is crystal clear that He is the way to receive eternal life. He is the central figure in the salvation of all mankind. For not only does Jesus have the power to give life, but He has the power to determine your eternal destiny.

James: A Faith That Works Doesn’t Play Favorites

September 9, 2019

We are to give honor where honor is due.  God is creating a new community where anyone can belong. Who are we to discriminate between who gets our love and respect, and who does not?  To favor only the rich who are taking advantage of you, who are abusing you and trashing the name of Jesus, is absurd behavior for anyone who’s been redeemed by Jesus.

Rooted In Faith: Living By Faith

July 16, 2019

Noah is a remarkable model of what it means to live by faith.  He believed God’s Word concerning judgment about things not yet seen, so he responded in obedience and built the ark.  But he didn’t build the ark out of fear of judgment, but out of his reverential fear of the God he knew.  And he kept at it for 120 years even though no one else believed.  He lived by faith.  And so God rewarded him.

The Story of God: A Story To Tell

September 4, 2018

We are linked to this same story… The same God who delivered Israel by His mighty hand is the same God who delivers us.  God delivered us by the mighty hand of Jesus: Jesus came to rescue us from this present evil age.  By His death he not only forgave us, but rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of light.  This is what Jesus did.
