This Easter we take a look at why the Jesus’ story was written. We look at how Thomas’ story was recorded in John and how we can relate. We also see Jesus’ blessing for those who believe and have not seen. His story was written, so your’s can be rewritten.
Richard walks us through the triumphant entry that took place on Palm Sunday as we prepare for Holy Week in Matthew 21:1-11. The people knew who Jesus was when he entered, but by the end of the week they were calling for his crucifixion because he didn’t fit what they wanted. Even if Jesus isn’t […]
This week we look at the life-long process that all Christians go through, and never truly finish….. Growth. Paul writes to the Ephesians in chapter 4 noting the call of Christianity (1-10) and then spend time telling them that they should be growing as to not be tossed to and fro by the waves of […]
Richard continues the #OfCourse series this week, giving us a two-pointer out of the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 6. In this passage, Jesus teaches those in attendance how they should pray and how they should be fasting. It was not a question of if they should be doing these things, but how they […]
This week we take a look at Communion and what it meant for Jesus and the early Church. Jesus foreshadows the Lord’s Supper in John 6, and then Paul addresses the taking of Communion even more in 1 Corinthians. I’m a Christian, of course I take communion.
Richard starts a new series this week that will cover various practices that we do as Christians and explains why we do them. We start the series off with baptism, looking to the books of Matthew, Acts, Romans, and Galatians. I’m a Christian, of course I’ve been baptized.
Richard concludes the Simon Says series looking at the restoration of Simon Peter after last week’s look at the denial in John 21:15-19. God’s restoration is stronger than man’s rejection.
We are approaching the end of the series and Simon’s time with Jesus. This week we are looking at Jesus’ foretelling of Simon’s denial. It seems that the disciples moved from “Who will betray” to “Who is the best” in their discussion at the Last Supper and this is where we see Simon claiming to […]
We take a look at the washing fo the feet at the Last Supper this week from a different perspective. We look at Simon Peter’s reaction and the lesson we can learn from him in this passage. Humble yourself and serve others.
This week we take a look at the topic of Forgiveness and what Simon learned from Jesus regarding the topic in Matthew 18. Simon asks how many times he should forgive someone who sins against him, and Jesus tells the story of the unmerciful servant to illustrate how much the Father forgives, and that we […]
