Pearls From Peace

Proverbs are wise sayings with advice on how to live your life. Traditions are the things people do to help people live their life, and remind them how those before them lived. In the end, what matters more, actions or words?

When faced with teachings that are hard to understand or believe, we either walk away like so many, or follow the One who has the words, and teachings, of eternal life. Pastor Glenn

Jesus, the bread of life, comes to give us eternal life.

Jesus, the bread of life, comes to us so that we will find satisfaction and fulfillment in Him.

Jesus feeds over 5000 people with five loves of bread and two fish. What a miracle! Just a few hours later the disciples fear for their lives in a boat in the middle of the lake in the middle of a storm. The Gospel of Mark chapter 6 says “they had not understood about the loaves. Their hearts were hardened.” If the disciples have a hard time believing the promises of God, how much harder will it b...

As Jesus feeds 5,000 men, women and children not included, with 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish, we can ask ourselves whether or not He still works miracles in our life. - Pastor Glenn

A plumb line measures whether or not something is built straight and true. When we discuss living our lives on the right, true, straight path, we take a look at God's Word to see who holds our plumb line. - Pastor Glenn

God calls us to be His witnesses. He doesn’t ask us, He tells us, and then He empowers us with His Holy Spirit to witness in the circumstances He has placed us in, and to the people He has placed in our lives. He doesn’t ask us to ‘close the deal’, just to invite people to meet Jesus.

When Jesus lays His hands on the daughter of Jairus she is healed. Fascinating story. When Jesus gets a hold of a life, that life is transformed. The laying on of hands has been part of the Christianity throughout the ages as a symbol of God’s love.

As we look at Jesus calming the storm, we see that Jesus, through His death and resurrection, comes to bring peace before, in, and after the storms in our life.

The devil wants you fathers, but God wants you more. You have a very important job to do for Him. God wants you to guard, gird, and guide your family, and to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with Him. - Mark 4:26-34

The way the world is, is not the way the world should be. Some thing has gone terribly wrong. Sin has infected everything. But we have a good good Father who pursues us and saves us. Genesis 3

In addressing the Pharisees who follow the rules of the Sabbath Day, and the issues they have with Him not following them, Jesus tells them that the Sabbath was made for man, and that He is the Lord of the Sabbath. Mark 2:28-3:6

When life doesn’t add up, when we can’t make sense of things, what we believe, teach, and confess about the Trinity, the person and work of God, can help us makes sense of things and help us to witness to others about God.

We will be persecuted because of the Bible. Jesus said so. He also said He will protect us. How? We learn an important lesson from the early church. Acts 4

As we celebrate the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the disciples who then spoke in other languages the Good News of Jesus, we remember that we are here because of the Holy Spirit at work in our own life and because of that first Pentecost.

What happens between the day we confess our faith and the day we go to heaven? The answer might not be what you think. But I’ve got to tell you what to expect.

Jesus is the Good Shepherd who cares for us His sheep, lays down His life for us, and searches for the ones who are lost.

In the wake of Jesus' resurrection things will never be the same. A man is healed, a crowd gathers, and Peter preaches. Times of refreshing come from the Lord!

Jesus is risen from the dead and appears to His disciples, but Thomas is not there. When he hears about it later, his response is that he'll only believe when he sees Jesus and touches Him. John 20:19-31 (Pastor Glenn)

We often wait for the right moment, but it can mean never doing something, or missing an opportunity completely. Jesus came at just the right moment for us. Pastor Glenn

“The Real Presence in Holy Communion” - God’s Method of Operating throughout history shows that He is present in the lives of His people for the purpose of saving them. The teaching of the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in Holy Communion is part of this tradition. (Pastor Brad)
