This Friday is for contemplating the weight of our sin. Our sin led to the sacrifice of the perfect Lamb of God. Our sin mocks God. Our sin convicts God. Our sin shouts out, “Crucify Him!” Let us contemplate our sin, and even though we know the resurrection is coming, we cannot cheapen God’s graceContinue reading “Good Friday”

Today we look at Jesus’ words to Nicodemus and how God showed us, love, through the life of Christ Jesus. We look at that and ask the question of whether we will cling to light or darkness, whether we choose our own ambition or we yield to God’s plan and purpose for our lives. JohnContinue reading “Who Do You Love?”

1 Corinthians 1:18-25 18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;    the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”[a] 20 Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law?Continue reading “(Un)Wise Worship”

Colossians 3:12-17 12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. 15 Let theContinue reading “An Inward and Outward Worship”

We remember that God has given us many blessings and many gifts during this first week of Lent. God has given us salvation through the power of Jesus Christ, and our hearts and minds must be focused on His glory. Therefore, let us utilize this season as a season to declutter our lives so thatContinue reading “Honor What God Gives You”

There is more to our stories than just the beginning of our lives. We all come from somewhere and from people that had stories into which we entered. Our predecessors also had stories about where they came from, and so on and so on. We need to understand this as it provides us a contextContinue reading “Do Not Lose Focus”

No matter what we find ourselves afflicted by, God reminds us that we must respond with worship. Even during war, persecution, plagues, and separation, God reminds us that we are not forgotten and belong to the Almighty and called us to worship him with all of our heart. Worship is engrained into our very core,Continue reading “Look At God’s Hands and Worship”

None of us belong, and all of us belong. We all have done wrong, treated each other improperly, and allowed sinful thoughts to affect our actions and lives. However, we have all been called to the foot of the cross, welcomed by the Almighty, to salvation. Our previous shortcomings, our current sins, nor our futureContinue reading “In God Alone: Everything Else Is An Imitation”

Fear often grasps ahold of our hearts, especially in uncertainty. However, God has established that our trust should be completely given over to Him at all times. The enticement of fear that calls out to us in the midst of any disorder or chaos is paralyzing and leads us toward destruction. The antidote to inactionContinue reading “God Is Our Guide: Respond With Faith Over Fear”

Just as we talked about New Years and New Resolutions last week, we are reminded by the Epiphany of the Lord, that our praise and devotion must be made new daily, even in the cycle of life. Often, we allow our praises and prayer to become routine and rote, However, we must remember that theContinue reading “Our Praise Needs To Be New, and Our Loyalty Needs To Be Undivided”
