In Acts 10 the essence of the new Christian faith is revealed to the apostle Peter. This revelation has shaken our world down to the present day. What did Peter discover? How has it transformed our lives? Join us as we explore this pivotal event in history.

Recognizing God’s Holiness If you have went your entire life believing you understand God, it is quite discomforting to be confronted with the holiness of who God truly is. For myself, it is always a reminder of how separate we are from Him. How we are incapable of even providing for the breath we breathe,…

Gracious and loving God, as we come before you this day, we long to be the faithful stewards of this world and all that you have given to us to care for. We know that our honest and faithful following of your Son is what will bring us into glory in our due time. So, we ask in the coming moments, help…

15 but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 16 since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” 14 Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? 15 What accord has…

Colossians 3:5 . 5 Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. Jesus, through his death and resurrection, has given us a new identity that seeks the kingdom of God. We are to seek the heavenly by the power of the…

Fooling Around If you have noticed we are seeing more interactions with the followers, detractors, and the environment around Jesus. This provides opportunities for us to see how Jesus relates to people and his environment, and through this we can see how Jesus is accomplishing his mission. When we see…

It’s not the outside that makes us unclean, but the heart.

Spirit Matters Last week we left Jesus teaching his disciples how to pray. I hope it was helpful to you and you were able to incorporate the method of the prayer into your life. A component of that prayer is a request that: God’s name be kept holy God’s kingdom comes soon The last sentence we looked…

Traditions easily become used as a way to enforce prejudice. Especially after several generations of practice. We can forget to see the needs and the people around us and obey teh command to love them because we are so busy trying to keep our traditions. People are more important than our man-made traditions. Showing mercy is better than not healing on the Sabbath. While we struggle to understand and believe who Jesus really is, the demonic realm is absolutely sure of Him. And they tremble. Too bad we don't. Frequently the world sees Jesus and His followers as those who are out of their minds because spiritually things must be discerned by God's Spirit. His Spirit is in those who believe Him. The Jewish leaders blasphemed God's Spirit by attributing Jesus' works to the power of Satan. Even so, Jesus has come and is making a new family of all those who believe, both Jew and Gentile.

Often, even as followers of Jesus, we find our immediate response regarding behavioral psychological issues to be more in line with an unbelieving, materialistic, naturalistic worldview. This, in spite of the fact that Jesus regularly dealt with, talked about, and affirmed the reality of the meta-physical, the unseen spiritual world in which we live. At the very least, we should pause and pray, consider, and seek the LORD in the situations in which we find ourselves in relation to the people around us in regard to both their and our behavior. Maybe there's more to humans that random, electrical impulses, synapses, and chemicals. Where do we draw the line anyhow? And who gets to decide where that line even is? God has made a world full of powerful elements. Medicine can be good. We ought to trust in God and be wise. We are to live by faith.

How should we respond to the holiness of God? Isaiah 6:5-7 gives us an example. Join Pastor Steve as he examines it.

Mark 1:35-45 Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he got up, went out, and made his way to a deserted place; and there he was praying. Simon and his companions searched for him, and when they found him they said, “Everyone is looking for you.” Jesus wasn’t flattered by the big crowed.…

It is the holiness of Christ in us, expressed in our living that the world needs in order to drawn to Christ.

Introduction For months Shannon and I have been saying that we almost wish we could just go ahead and get sick with COVID so that the uncertainty would be over. Then, we thought, we would know what it’s like and wouldn’t have to worry about that anymore. If we could go ahead and get it, we’ll probably…

Luke 11:37-44 37 And as He spoke, a certain Pharisee asked Him to dine with him. So He went in and sat down to eat. 38 When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that He had not first washed before dinner. 39 Then the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees make the outside of the cup and dish clean, but your…
