Five hundred years ago, the Protestant Reformation sought to change the church, to bring the focus back upon God. The Reformation had no intention of breaking free from the church in Rome but instead saw that the message of grace and mercy had been replaced with penance and indulgences. Due to these circumstances, Martin LutherContinue reading “Reformed and Always Reforming”

Pray For Your Opponents
Our Scripture is Acts 9:1-22, where we will look at how God changed the heart of an enemy of the church, to transform Saul into the great evangelist, and how we as the church must serve our opponents as well as our allies. Acts 9:1-22 9 But Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord,Continue reading “Pray For Your Opponents”

Good Friday
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”
Who Do You Love?
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?”
(Un)Wise Worship
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”
An Inward and Outward 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”
Honor What God Gives You
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”
Do Not Lose Focus
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”
Look At God’s Hands and Worship
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”
