    More To Do As Christians

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Dec 27, 2019
     | 2,269 views

    Often there are two attitudes a Christian has toward serving Christ. The possibility of growing wearing and why do we have to do so much.

    Most of the New Testament was written to the disciples of Christ. Jesus taught from every angle to build His disciples. These Jews knew the Old Testament. He wanted them to know that He did not come to destroy the moral laws of God, vs. 17. He actually came to add to them. His conversation went ...read more

    New Beginnings

    Sometimes our lives become such a confusing mess we need to step back and start some things over again. The relationship between Joseph and his brothers gives us a valuable example of forgiveness.

    20200104 Parsha Vayigash New Beginnings Blessing If you read last week’s Parsha, you might have been struck by the sudden ending. Joseph had devised several tests to determine the character of his brothers. The final ruse would have found Benjamin guilty of theft and becoming a slave in Egypt. ...read more

    Step Eight - Its A List Dummy Series

    Step eight comes across as a fairly easy step at first glance. I only need to transfer my list of people, places and things from step 5 and be willing to change. The “big book” offers all of three sentences so maybe it is that easy. NOT!

    Step Nine - Not Saying I'm Sorry? Series

    Step 9 is making direct amends except when to do so would injure those or others. It’s also the place the writers tell us of the promises come true when one earnestly works the steps of recovery.

    I have been thinking about Step nine over the last few days. I really think the writers knew how much humility and courage it takes to do a 9th step amends and it’s the reason, they made sure the other steps of getting right with oneself and then God came before reconciling with others. Step 9 is ...read more

    Sixth Sunday In Ordinary Time - 6th Sunday, Year A-- The Fence

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 20, 2020
     | 4,197 views

    Jesus builds a shield around the law or Commandments in order to create more space and distance so that we won’t even bump up against the fence or sit on the fence, but rather keep a healthy distance.

    There was a large group of people. On one side of the group stood a man, Jesus. On the other side of the group stood Satan. Separating them, running through the group, was a fence. The scene was set, both Jesus and Satan began calling to the people in the group and, one by one - each having made up ...read more

    Love your enemies

    There is a sign in the Princeton University Store basement which cleverly suggests: "Love your enemies—it will drive them crazy." Jesus’ ethical teaching is higher than this example because love of enemies is not a consequentialist ethic, hoping that the other person will change. Love ...read more

    Entering into the spirit of what is behind the Law.

    METAPHORS OF MORTIFICATION. Matthew 5:27-42. Sometimes the Sermon on the Mount has been the called the new Law. This is not necessarily helpful. We are not under law, but under grace (cf. Romans 6:14). 1. When Jesus says, “But I say unto you,” He is entering into the spirit of what ...read more

    Go Thy Way: The First Time Jesus Used This Phrase Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Feb 6, 2020
     | 3,313 views

    Relationships matter. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus had much to say about right relationships between His disciples, God--and each other. This is the first time Jesus used the phrase, "go thy way",

    Introduction: The Sermon on the Mount. How many of us love this passage of Scripture? Even though this was not the first message Jesus ever preached, He did preach it, and it was one of the longest messages anyone heard Him speak. He started this message with the Beatitudes, a series of sayings ...read more

    Jude wanted to write a joyous letter, but instead he had to write a warning. Certain ones had crept in unnoticed. We are to contend for the faith. The Christian life is not unopposed.

    Hate Crimes

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Feb 10, 2020

     | 6,527 views

    Jesus believed in hate crimes, because God knows the heart. Jesus urges us to resolve our murderous thoughts, make it right when we can, and settle out of court, all so that a watching world will take note of how Christian brothers and sisters get along.

    Matthew 5:21-26 Hate Crimes The FBI defines a hate crime as a “criminal offense against a person or property, motivated in whole or in part by an offender’s bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, or gender identity.” A hate crime is not the same as hate ...read more

    As we follow on the weekend of Valentine's Day, Jesus talks about what is attractive to Him, and what we should be attracted to. He shows us what sin is, so that we see who HE is.

    2.16.20 Matthew 5 27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery,’ 28 but I tell you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to fall into sin, pluck it out and throw it away from ...read more
