    A look at those who followed Jesus and why people today still do

    Intro: I love reading the Bible in story form. Taking each story, paragraph by paragraph, and trying to put myself in the scenes. I have always loved to read the Word of God like I am actually there, to try to soak up the entire experience of every event. That may not be theologically gratifying to ...read more

    How can we "sell" Christianity in today’s world?

    The second part of today’s Gospel reading told us about Jesus calling Andrew, Simon Peter, James and John to be his disciples. This was probably not the first encounter with Jesus for any of them. We know, for example, from last week’s reading from St John’s Gospel that Andrew was already a ...read more

    We continue this morning with our walk through a short book written by a friend of Jesus called Matthew.

    Jesus begins his public ministry, and if you’ve ever wondered what he preached as he started, here it is: "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near."

    INTRO: Heaven. The great thing in this world is not so much where we stand as in what direction we are moving.
