Trust is one of those things we often deal with in this life. God trusted Mary and Joseph with a baby who would change the world. Jesus trusted his disciples—a mixed bunch of people—to go out into the world and preach the gospel. And even now, God trusts us to be his faithful people … while God also remains faithful to us. Trust goes both ways… And the whole idea of trust starts early on. I look at our new grandson, Henry, and see the way he’s developing these days,...
Today, we’re kicking off a new worship series—that will run for 4 weeks—called ‘Fully Engaged’. I’m not sure when you used those words last, but I’m sure you know what they mean—fully engaged. It’s a phrase you use when things are going your way. It’s a phrase you use when you’re really focused on something. It’s a phrase you use when things are really happening in your life—fully engaged. So, I’m wondering when was the last time you remember being fully engaged in anything… I spoke with Gail Ray a...
Delivered by Gail Ray Today, on the 1st Sunday of Lent, we begin to walk in the footsteps of Jesus. Here, we’ll learn how he related to God the Father and how we need to as well. So, where are his footsteps taking us? We begin today where his ministry began, at the Jordan River… One of the favorite places people love to visit when going to the Holy Land is the Jordan River, especially when they get to be baptized or renew their baptismal vows at that very special...
Getting ready for what was ahead, Jesus retreats to His usual place of prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane on the Mount of Olives. If you’ve seen this holy site in Jerusalem, it’s at the location (across the Kidron Valley from the Temple Mount) of the “Church of All Nations,” built over the site where Jesus would have flung himself to the ground for those final prayers before his arrest… I want you to know today that the name Gethsemane is a sign in itself. The word ‘Gethsemane’ is synonymous...
On the last mission trip that I was on, I was in charge of certain project that had to do with our worship one evening. I asked a few youth and adults to help me with this particular thing. The majority of those I asked to help were more than willing to pitch in and make this part of our worship service special. One youth, however, had a very different response. When I asked him to be involved, his response was, “So, what are you going to do for me...
He is the Lord … MY God! And he is faithful! Always has been … and always will be! Listen now to what the psalmist wrote about God’s faithfulness to us, probably done in worship as a responsive reading. Just listen today… 1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever. 2 Give thanks to the God of gods. His faithful love endures forever. 3 Give thanks to the Lord of lords. His faithful love endures forever. 4 Give thanks to him who alone...
