This week we look at the reality of the evil & power of satan but also the good & sovereign power of our God in this world. Evil is best understood as a lack, or a perversion of good, and good is best seen when we know who God is. Only when we look at how good God is can, we form any idea of the devil’s badness. What an amazing thing Jesus did for us all to rescue us from the domain of satan & evi...

In 2 Timothy 1:7 Paul says “for God gave us a Spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” It is this truth that we are encouraged and empowered by as we remember that if God is for us then who could be against us. There is plenty in this world that could cause us all to have great fear. Things that seem out of our control, out of our abilities, or out of our comfort zones. Jesus sa...

Today we celebrate again the beauty and majesty of the Palm Sunday ride. We see Jesus on His kingly- ride...we see the crowds crying out “Hosanna! Hosanna to the Son of David!” ...we see the palm branches and cloaks...we see the truth about Jesus...He is the King of kings and Lord of lords. But we see something else, don’t we? We see the Lord of the Universe riding to the place where He would give...

As we step into this very heartwarming story, we are reminded of the effect sin has on our bodies. The woman had experienced physical difficulties for twelve years and even with the God-given intervention of the medical community of her time, the Gospel of Mark tells us she’d only gotten worse. Jesus healed her completely. He healed her physically. He healed her spiritually. But what does this pas...

In truth, this week’s message could just be titled “Follow Me” as Christ calls us to a life lived for Him. Faithfulness is certainly a value for us, not just because “We Belong to Jesus” but a value that is shared by all people. We want faithfulness and loyalty from those we know and love. Jesus wants faithfulness and loyalty from those He knows and loves too. Jesus is calling to us today “Follow...

One of the more important aspects of the Christian faith is that Jesus doesn’t look at what we look at. Jesus doesn’t look at the outside and bring His Gospel to those who are important and special and amazing and wonderful. Instead, He comes to those who really need Him, those the world kicks to the curb. We remember that “We Belong to Jesus” because Jesus came to us in spite of our unworthiness...

Our Lord is a long-suffering God who is “slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love”. He shows us compassion because “We Belong to Jesus” and He shows us that compassion over and over again. We therefore are called to show compassion too...when someone sins against us. But we’re also called to show compassion no matter what. The hungry...the hurting...the homeless...the grieving...the lonely......
