Pearls From Peace

“The Shameless Neighbour” Luke 11:5-8 - Pastor Brad

Jesus calls us to unequivocally follow Him. But some things get in the way. Oddly enough, sometimes its something in the past. We can’t plow a straight line forward if we are constantly looking back. Why on earth would we look back when we have such a glorious future? This is part III of our study of Luke 9:51-62

The Parable of the Good Samaritan is a story that we can easily learn the lesson that we should be like the Good Samaritan. Is that the only thing that we can learn, or is there something even great that we can learn, not about ourselves, but about God and who He is and what He's done for us. - Pastor Glenn

In Luke 9:51-62 Jesus challenges us to put Him before our tribe, our comfort, our security, and our past. In this episode we’ll deal with security. This is Part 2 of 3.

In Luke 9:51-62 Jesus challenges us to put Him before our tribe, our comfort, our security, and our past. Can we? We’ll deal with tribe and comfort in this episode. This is part 1 of 3. - Pastor Brad

In the Gospel of Luke, two men give Jesus excuses as to why they cannot follow Him immediately. Do we give Jesus the same kinds of excuses, and can we even follow Him on our own? - Pastor Glenn

If Jesus can save a man possessed by many many demons and use him, He can certainly use us. The fascinating story of the healing of the demon possessed man in Luke 8:26-39 - Pastor Brad

We take a look at who God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, has called us to be, specifically the men, as we celebrate Father's Day. - Pastor Glenn

The people of Babel wanted to make a name for themselves and you might know how that turned out. At Pentecost the people proclaim the name that is above every other name. - Pastor Glenn

When we read about heaven at the end of the Bible, we see that God spared no expense. Its fabulous! Typical of a God who gave His one and only Son to suffer and die for us. - Pastor Brad

We all long for a better day and the Bible says its coming. We can’t fix the world’s problems, but God can and He will. - Pastor Brad

How do we get from here to heaven? God has His Word preached to us which creates and sustains faith in us. - Pastor Brad

Sometimes things are said with the best of intentions, but the message doesn't come across that way. Jesus' message is said with more than just the best of intentions, because His Words are from God Himself, and His actions speak to His Words. Through His death and resurrection, we have the promise of forgiveness of sins and eternal life where we will be delivered from every trouble, we will have...

There are a lot of opinions about Jesus. The one that really matters is His. He told us clearly, plainly, emphatically that He is God who came to save the world. - Pastor Brad

From rejection to redemption, the story of Peter's denial and his reinstatement can easily be seen as our story as well. John 21:1-19

Are you afraid? For yourself? For your Church? God comforts the Apostle John with a vision that has a very important message for us also: Jesus, is among His people.

Matthew 28:1-10, 1 Corinthians 15:1-26 - Does the Easter enthusiasm last past Easter, or do our shouts of "Alleluia! Christ is Risen!" become quieter and quieter, or even disappear until next year? What changes? Why is this year any different? Why does it matter?

What happened on the cross on that first Good Friday was up to that time the most important event in human history. It was prophesied a long time ago in the book of Isaiah. But even more astonishing than all that is the fact that it was all done ‘for us’ and ‘for’ our salvation.

Luke 22:39-46 - On Maundy Thursday, Jesus shares the Last Supper with His disciples and makes His way to the Garden of Gethsemane where He wrestles with God's will in prayer.

The antidote for pride is not humility, it’s Jesus. Humility is a by-product of our relationship with Jesus. Jesus exemplifies humility, saves us from our pride, and enables us to pursue godly humility. Philippians 2
