Quite honestly, I believe that to say that the universe “just happened” or “evolved” requires more faith than to believe that God’s Will is behind this amazing and ordered universe. God truly did create a wonderful universe!

The Spirit rested upon Them - Numbers 11:24-30
After they fled Egypt, why would a distance of a few hundred kilometers, that could have been walked in a few days or weeks, becomes a lifetime’s journey?

Partners with Christ in his suffering - 1 Peter 4:12-14, 5:5-11
Everyone has some gifts. Peter mentions speaking and serving. Find your gifts and use them. Even as you look to discover your gifts, you might see a need in the church; look for ways to meet it. You may find gifts in unguessed at areas! When you find your gifts, you will see how useful they are when facing trials, or suffering.

A picture of doing Good - 1 Peter 3:13-22
We are familiar with Paul speaking of faith, hope, and love, and his remark that the greatest of these is love. For Peter’s audience though the most important of these seems to be hope. Many have difficulty keeping hope alive. But remember: Jesus Christ’s resurrection gives new birth into a living hope. Where does your hope come from?

God's House - 1 Peter 2:1-10
We’ve looked at endurance, patience, and suffering, we’ve looked at working in complete harmony, we’ve looked at hope for all and we’ve looked at Jesus, Lord of All. Today we’re looking at rocks. Stumbling blocks, or rocks, and cornerstones… We are the building blocks that make up God’s family and we are all part of God’s plan whether we believe in Him or not.

The Guardian of your souls - 1 Peter 2:18-25
Today's message touches on slavery. Do we still have slavery today? We as Christians have freedom in Christ, but it’s not freedom the way people often use the word. While God gives us freedom from religious rules and eternal guilt, we must not seek to indulge our own desires, instead, we should reach for the best that God has for us…

Today's message finds us in 1st Peter chapter 1 again and while verses 13-23 are our Scripture for today, The message today is titled: "You must..." Peter uses those two words a lot in 1st Peter 1.
But, I'm going to be spending a lot of time looking at what happened in Luke 10:25-37. That's the parable about the Good Samaritan.
If you look at the journey from Jerusalem to Jericho that the "victim&quo...

Hope For All - 1 Peter 1:3-9
The first words Jesus said to Peter were: “Come, follow me!”. Well, Peter follows and on the way, he stumbles a lot. But remember, when Jesus spoke His last words to Peter, He said: “Follow me!”. And so I ask: “What is Jesus saying to you?”

Today's message is titled: Jesus Christ, Lord of All - Acts 10:31-43
We begin today’s journey in the Gospel of Matthew chapter 27 where we re-live the last seconds of Jesus on the cross on good Friday. We then have a stopover in 325AD in Nicene and we end today's journey in Matthew 28:18-20 where Jesus gives us the great commandment.

Jesus is the True Grapevine - Gospels of Matthew and John
Jesus' heart broke with the reality of how much they needed a Savior. It reminds us that the reign of Christ is far greater than any man's mind could ever conceive or plan.

A Triumphal entry: God’s Way - Matthew 21:1-16
Jesus enters Jerusalem riding on a donkey. Jesus’ entry reflects the roman practice of welcoming a king or general. A crowd hails Jesus as king. They spread cloaks on the ground and wave branches. They chant Psalm 118:25 which praises God for victory over the nations.
Yet there are significant differences. Jesus rides not a war horse but an everyday beast of burden, a donkey. Crowds...

The Vision in the Valley - Ezekiel 37:1-14
Some of us might think that because we are young, healthy, full of dreams and energy, we don’t need to worry or think about death, but death is an apt metaphor for our "living-death" lives. Think about it, some have never found the purpose or reason why they are here on earth, and for some, sin a central part of living, but that is not part of God’s plan.

This Is The One - 1 Samuel 16:1-5, 9b-13
If you think about it, you come to realize that God has given each one of us leadership roles, some big, some small, some long term, some short-lived. But what is it that we do with these roles and how do we pass leadership on when needed? Do we follow God's lead?

So, what is the difference between compare and contrast and how does it relate to envy?
When you compare, you are looking at the similarities between things, while when you contrast, you are looking at the differences.
This means that comparing is often used to find common ground or similarities, while contrasting is used to highlight the unique qualities of each subject…

Jesus the Morning Star! – 2 Peter 1:16-21
Have you ever wondered why God doesn’t do something spectacular to prove His existence? Something that would remove all of our doubts and silence the skeptics and cynics of today.
Here's why: God wants personal individual relationships with each one of us. But, it’s got to be you who approaches Him, you who repents of any sins and mistakes and confesses, then God will receive you w...

Today's message is titled: "The Key"
Scripture Deuteronomy 30:15-20 (NLT)
Deuteronomy takes us to a very challenging truth: Our world favors and rewards individualism, autonomy, and independence. So much so, that we often don’t see the necessity of connectedness, community, and dependence on God. God talks to us about this not only in the Old Testament, but we also see a resistance, even a flat rejection of Jesus’...

In today's passage Isaiah reminds us that it is God's approval and not human applause that ultimately counts. Jesus echoed the same call when he urged his followers to go and do - quietly. That the act of prayer, of giving and of self-denial as spiritual practices, are to be done as though we were enlisted in the divine Secret Service (for God's eyes only).
