    Though we are often filled with fear and unbelief, Jesus' encounter with the disciples in the locked room reminds us that we are yet called by Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit to continue Christ's work in the world.

    Doubting Thomas. Upon hearing this passage from John, and recalling the post-resurrection appearances of Jesus, we often remember the story of “Doubting Thomas.” But did you know that the word “doubt” is not even used in the original Greek of this Scripture from John. ...read more

    In recent days, our Government has been locking down Churches in order to contain the spread of the CoVid -19m Virus. Instead of despair, I see a revolution in our missioning

    These two texts (found in Numbers 27:1-11 and Numbers 36:1-13) concerning the daughters of Zelophedad remind us that God's grace makes space for the left out, locked out and marginalized.

    Then the daughters of Zelophehad came forward. Zelophehad was son of Hepher son of Gilead son of Machir son of Manasseh son of Joseph, a member of the Manassite clans. The names of his daughters were: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. 2They stood before Moses, Eleazar the priest, the ...read more

    How was it that the disciples of Jesus went from locking the doors in fear of the Jews to giving them the message about what a mess they had made of things, how do we boldly approach our faith?

    Sermon: from fear to boldness. There was a shift that occurred in the lives of the disciples. I remember as a young boy doing things for the first time and a lot of them involved overcoming fear, swimming across the Maitai River, riding a bike, riding a bike no handed, riding a bike down the ...read more

    Panic Room

    References the movie "Panic Room" (Jodie Foster). Recalls the disciples’ reaction to hide out in a locked room after finding the tomb empty. The "Panic Room" can be both a safe haven and a well-fortressed prison.

    "Panic Room" - Easter 2A April 7, 2002 - John 20:19-31 This week I saw the newly-released movie "Panic Room". In this movie, "Jodie Foster plays a wealthy single mom with a teenage daughter.

    It is immaterial how old a person is, how shattered, how poor or rich; no one is locked up in the past. One could always and everywhere follow the voice of his or her angel and start a new life.

    Jim’s parents regarded him as dull and unintelligent. He performed poorly in his studies. His bad performance in the school confirmed the opinion of his parents. During a summer camp, he learned to play chess and defeated all his campmates. In a declamation contest, he stood first. There Jim ...read more

    The Call To Rebuild

    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,569 views

    God is calling the church to rebuild after the Corona Virus pandemic lock-downs. But amidst the challenges, it takes uncommon trust and surrender to tackle what God is asking. This message can be re-worked for a building program.

    Someone once said, “Build. Destroy. Rebuild. I’ve mastered the art of bouncing back. Now, to master the art of not having to” (Dau Voire). This is probably how a lot of us feel. We’re tired of striving and struggling, and we’re tired of having to rebuild. But rebuilding is necessary in order ...read more

    Construction Site Or Warzone?

    Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Aug 25, 2021

     | 4,033 views

    God is calling the church to rebuild after the Corona Virus pandemic lock-downs. Any church that rebuilds becomes a construction site, which is a warzone for spiritual battle. This message can be re-worked for a building program.

    Last week I mentioned how I believe that God is calling us to rebuild our fellowship after a series of setbacks. This means that our church is currently sitting smack dab in the middle of a spiritual construction site. I remember how I once pastored a church where we built a multipurpose ...read more

    There are certain things in the life of each of us that should remain locked behind basement doors; no one needs to go digging around in the basement of your brother or sister’s life...or even in your own life!
