We so often call ourselves Christians. We look at that as our core identity. We see it as what we truly believe, and we bank on those beliefs as what will get us to heaven when we die. But are we doing what Jesus said we should do? I am asking the question because JesusContinue reading “Jesus’ very difficult question – Luke 6:46-49”

How to be wise or foolish
You remember that children’s song “the wise man built his house upon on the rock”? It is a classic that small children learn in Sunday School, but when you think about it, it’s kinda scary actually. Especially when you think about some of the major tragedies in the last decade or so. The song talksContinue reading “How to be wise or foolish”
Church Has Left The Building recap
On Sunday May 17, Faith Church left it’s building! It was an incredible morning. My group (below) went to Conestoga Valley Christian Community Services, the local social services organization started by area churches to provide free food and clothing to residents in need.

How to transform an over-opinionated, judgmental spirit? THE 10th MAN! – Luke 6:37-42
Last week I introduced Jesus’ next crazy Upside-Down Kingdom teaching.

So inContinue reading “How to transform an over-opinionated, judgmental spirit? THE 10th MAN! – Luke 6:37-42”
Are you opinionated?
Opinions. We have lots of them, don’t we? Some of us seem to have more opinions than others! Have you ever thought of that? Why do some people have more opinions than others? And why do some people have strong opinions while others have weak opinions? Some people seem to have strong opinions about almostContinue reading “Are you opinionated?”
