Another Note from John Fletcher

God's not defeated 04.06.2021 6:57 ↓

Their defeat didn't change God. Yours won't either.

The good and bad 03.06.2021 7:21 ↓

"Nobody leaves this place without singing the blues."

🖖 02.06.2021 6:10 ↓

We are a part of the priesthood of all believers. As such, shouldn't we have a blessing to share to those around us? Shouldn't we seek to bless people with God's peace?

Steering together 01.06.2021 7:15 ↓

Here's the thing, God challenges us as we keep in communion. Most people seem to think growing in grace simply means learning more stuff. But it's much more than that. It's deeper. It's meaningful.

St. Patrick and the Trinity 31.05.2021 7:12 ↓

Thank God we do have the same promise of God's care. We have the outpouring of God's Spirit. And we have the blessing of Christ. 

Let's flaneur 28.05.2021 6:43 ↓

This kind of attention helps us see what we otherwise miss. And most of us miss a lot. Flaneuring might also help us wander with intention in our walk with God.

The whole Bible 27.05.2021 7:24 ↓

All of scripture teaches us to trust in God's faithfulness and mercy. So, don't leave any of it out!

Authority or control 26.05.2021 7:03 ↓

As Jesus people, we have the authority to teach God's truth and share the love of God. Now, let's not confuse our authority.

Building projects 25.05.2021 6:43 ↓

When we go with our tendencies, we're prone to build more for ourselves. 

Continuing Pentecost 24.05.2021 6:57 ↓

That's what makes what happened at Pentecost so important. The church wasn't formed at that moment. It was fully clothed, empowered and fully equipped to begin its work without Jesus.

Not even death 21.05.2021 6:49 ↓

I do not want to imagine facing death without our faith in Christ. I can't imagine what I would think and what I would feel if I did. Through Christ's resurrection, I can celebrate that life with God never ends. And I can also trust the Lord knows the pain I experience.

Jesus-centered answers 20.05.2021 6:39 ↓

Let's not only wish and hope our youth grow up to be faithful adults. Let's not keep our kids busy with church-y stuff, hoping that does the trick. Instead, let's be willing to do whatever we need to do to prepare them to find Jesus-centered answers.

All we're facing together 19.05.2021 7:29 ↓

As we seek to be faithful to God, we'll need to keep praying.

Our joy 18.05.2021 6:25 ↓

We should thank God for the people that share in the gospel with us as well.

Make yourself at home 14.05.2021 5:30 ↓

God abides with us through the Word, Christ Jesus, and through the word, scripture.

The church's prayer 13.05.2021 5:51 ↓

Grant us wisdom Grant us courage

Enough to remember 12.05.2021 6:02 ↓

I do want us to remember God's commandments. As much I as do and as much as I want you to, please believe God wants you to more.

Reading God 11.05.2021 6:34 ↓

If Christians are not using the Bible to win arguments against people they disagree with, chances are they're using the Bible to affirm their own sense of purpose.

Our passionate pursuit 10.05.2021 5:29 ↓

Only God can judge my soul. But the fruit of my pursuit of God's kingdom is for all people to see.

Grasping Truth 07.05.2021 6:51 ↓

You don't need God's authority, anointing or power to be a country club.

Reaching Out or Caring Within 06.05.2021 5:56 ↓

So, when it comes to our shared ministry, let's not take the long way home.

God trusts you 05.05.2021 6:39 ↓

Can God trust us with kingdom ministry?

U-turn toward peace 04.05.2021 5:11 ↓

So, what do we do if we aren't those natural peacemaking people? 

Quite obvious 03.05.2021 6:54 ↓

That reminds me of when someone once asked me why I don't talk more about the devil.

Accumulating books 30.04.2021 5:11 ↓

There has never been a time when access to scripture was so abundant as it is today.
