Do you remember the encounter Jesus had with Pilate in John 18:37 & 38? Pilate wanted to know why the Jews were so intent on having him killed. Jesus tells him that they do not recognize Him as their King in spite of the miraculous displays of His power and glory. He went on to […]
Yesterday I was reading an article from Pastor Jim Denison. He writes a daily cultural blog. His topic…Tom Brady: Football doesn’t matter to God. Most of you know that Brady is the starting quarterback for the New England Patriots. I know that football outcomes do matter to Tom Brady…that seemed apparent yesterday, but in the […]

Merry Christmas My Brothers! One of the most profound passages in all of scripture is found in Philippians 4:11-13. The Apostle Paul declared that “I have learned to be content (more than just to be satisfied, it means to flourish) in whatever circumstances I am…” Does that concept challenge you as much as it does […]
