In both the Bible and Greek mythology, we read about people facing absurd circumstances.  But oftentimes, those situations merely reflect that God may simply have a better idea.

Jesus wants us to help reconcile the world to God.  (2  Corinthians 5:19) But that means being willing to speak truth to power if we hope to make any progress in this, our highest calling and greatest adventure in life.

 VPFearofGod
February 8, 2010
Jesus reminded his disciples to fear God in Matthew 10:28.  But we don't hear much about fearing God from the pulpit these days.  This study is about becoming obedient to God and not wanting to offend Him with our lifestyles or behavior.

The Christian Church has had many excellent teachers like Paul, Augustine, Luther, and Kuyper. This series explores this high calling but reminds every Christian that they must be prepared to teach the faith in their spheres of influence.

 Worry
February 22, 2010
There are many things we can give up for the season of Lent, and worry is one of them.  Jesus told his disciples to be done with anxiety--and to have faith in God.


 Disturbing
February 15, 2010
Christians may not look for occasions to disturb, but Christianity without the power to rock the world's boat may be toothless--and not what Jesus had in mind.

Clement, Bishop of Rome, reminds us that we must be merciful to obtain mercy.  "Christ belongs to the lowly of heart, not to those who exalt themselves over their flocks."

The way of cross leads to the cross, not a bank of flowers. We need to remember that we share Christ's path here on earth but from that can come great joy.
