We increase our faith with Jesus’ help! Would you like to increase your faith in the One who created you? Jesus’ disciples sure wanted some of that. And even just a little faith can give us the power to do absolutely anything, That’s a promise that comes straight from Jesus’ mouth! Jesus’ followers begged him, […]
God’s path offers true wealth! Jesus told the crowd: “No slave can serve two masters… You cannot serve God and wealth.” – Luke 16:13 Wealth by itself isn’t bad. But Jesus’ story today questions our relationship to wealth. What rules our hearts – our wealth or our Creator, the source of all wealth? Today’s Old […]

ONE WORSHIP Service today @ 10am Jesus’ warning to would-be followers doesn’t sound very attractive! “Carry the cross,” he says in today’s Gospel reading. What?

When we attempt to walk the Jesus Path, we invite division between ourselves and the self-centered culture around us. Jesus calls us to […]
