Galatians 4:1-7

Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.   Psalm 139:14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

Ephesians 4:1-6 (NIV) As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one bapt...

Ephesians 3:14-22 (MSG) My response is to get down on my knees before the Father, this magnificent Father who parcels out all heaven and earth. I ask him to strengthen you by his Spiritónot a brute strength but a glorious inner strengthóthat Christ will live in you as you open the door and invite him in. And I ask him that with both feet planted firmly on love, youíll be able to take in with all f...

Ephesians 2:11-22 (MSG) But don't take any of this for granted. It was only yesterday that you outsiders to God's ways had no idea of any of this, didnít know the first thing about the way God works, hadn't the faintest idea of Christ. You knew nothing of that rich history of God's covenants and promises in Israel, hadn't a clue about what God was doing in the world at large. Now because of Christ...

Ephesians 1:15-23 (MSG) That's why, when I heard of the solid trust you have in the Master Jesus and your outpouring of love to all the followers of Jesus, I couldn't stop thanking God for you - every time I prayed, I'd think of you and give thanks. But I do more than thank. I ask - ask the God of our Master, Jesus Christ, the God of glory - to make you intelligent and discerning in knowing him pe...

"Love Is Stronger Than Death" - Rev. Andrew Chappell's Easter message   Mark 16:1-8

Mark 11:1-11   When they were approaching Jerusalem, at Bethphage and Bethany, near the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples and said to them, "Go into the village ahead of you, and immediately as you enter it, you will find tied there a colt that has never been ridden; untie it and bring it. If anyone says to you, 'Why are you doing this?' just say this, 'The Lord needs it and will send...

Matthew 10:16-31   16 “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves. 17 Be on your guard; you will be handed over to the local councils and be flogged in the synagogues. 18 On my account you will be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles. 19 But when they arrest you, do not worry about what to say or ho...

John 3:14-21 | Confirmation Sunday   It’s not just about believing God is who God says God is. It’s about believing and trusting and having confidence that God can do what God says God can do.    Movie Quote Trivia. If you don’t know this about me, I’m a big movie fan. For some reason, I can remember movie lines better than a lot of other things. Often, I can remember movie lines after seeing a mo...

Today is DENSE. But it’s not my fault, it’s Paul’s fault.   Romans 4:13-25 For the promise that he would inherit the world did not come to Abraham or to his descendants through the law but through the righteousness of faith. For if it is the adherents of the law who are to be the heirs, faith is null and the promise is void. For the law brings wrath, but where there is no law, neither is there tra...

Galatians 6:11-18 See what large letters I make when I am writing in my own hand! It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh that try to compel you to be circumcised—only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. Even the circumcised do not themselves obey the law, but they want you to be circumcised so that they may boast about your flesh. May I never boast of anythin...

Transfiguration Sunday | Mark 9: 2-9    Rev. Andrew Chappell asks this of his congregation: Are you prepared to allow God to change you in such important and intense ways that he might be able to use you for peace?  Are you ready to allow God to transfigure your life?  Are you ready to live a life of dynamic faith?   The Transfiguration. I’ve always viewed the transfiguration of Jesus as this weir...
