    Jesus Never Called Shotgun Luke 14:1-14 Jan 20th, 2008 I have to confess that when I hear someone call “shotgun” it gets my hackles up a bit. When they say shotgun I hear “me; me; me.” It reminds me of when our kids were young I would tell them not to say “I’m the king of the castle and ...read more

    Jesus setting the Pharisees straight and shutting down their argumentative spirit.

    The Protagonist and the Antagonist Luke 14:1-6 Rev. Phillip A. Wright Jesus was literally on display in midst of the Pharisees in home of one of their rulers.

     | 4,337 views

    As imitators of Jesus Christ, we too are to know what to do for God, go, do what God says and tell people the truth in love!

    Last week from Luke 13 we noted that Jesus responded to persecution by actually just continuing the work He was called to do by God. Maybe this is where we got the saying “when the going gets tough, the tough gets going!” In our passage today, we will note the confidence of Jesus ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 11,105 views

    The Table . . . A common everyday item. Every house has one. A simple table or a meeting place. Perhaps a classroom. Could it be that a  simple table is really a blank canvas?

    The Table Pt. 2 - Table Manners I. Introduction I don't know what your home was like growing up, but in my house we were taught table manners. In fact, you need to pray for me as I try to find something to do while I am grounded this week for even playing that video. We had some very specific ...read more

     | 8,486 views

    Our experience at shared meals and Christ's stories of common suppers remind us of our call to radical hospitality; our call to invite and welcome all at the Lord's Table!

    I have been generously blessed in my thirty years of life. Like so many of you, I can point to different things along the way that were particularly important to me, and perhaps still are, even if I didn’t realize it at the time. One such blessing in my life was the regular evening meals in ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,640 views

    Our value as a person has nothing to do with having our name on the up in lights. God loves us; we can’t improve on that! You don’t have to try and prove you are worthwhile by sneaking your nametag a little higher up on the table. And praise God for that!

  • Do I Really Want To Become More Like Jesus?

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Sep 1, 2010
     | 4,161 views

    This is a tough question! Do I want to become more like Jesus, or do I want God to help me become more the person that I selfishly want to be?

    Was Jesus a nice, polite, mild-mannered, good-natured young man who kept himself to himself? Was Jesus middle-of-the-road, all things to all people, politically correct, and softly spoken? Was Jesus the most inoffensive man you could ever wish to meet? I wonder what kind of gentle, meek and mild ...read more
