Things Will Eventually Get Better

Last updated on: December 21, 2017 at 2:51 pm By Jim Erwin

Things Will Eventually Get Better 4 December 2017 Year B Micah 4:1-5 Sometimes, life seems to be so terrible. Nothing seems to be going right. You are stuck in a rut and you wonder if things will ever get any better. That is how the Israelites felt when Micah came on the scene. They were in exile in Babylon.

Love Is Something You Do

Last updated on: November 26, 2017 at 10:32 pm By Jim Erwin

Love Is Something You Do Matthew 25:31-46 One of the least-thanked groups in our society is the people who empty the garbage. It’s not what you would call a high-class job. However, in New York a couple of years ago, the garbage men went on strike.

Building the Home of God

Last updated on: November 3, 2017 at 11:02 am By Jim Erwin

Building the Home of God Isaiah 56:1-8 God’s home is the description of God’s family. Here in Isaiah 56, God begins to share the future of God’s people after the work of Christ is completed upon the Cross. Isaiah is considered a miniature version of the Bible. If that is the case, then Isaiah 54 begins the “church age” of Isaiah. God is building a home and He wants it built upon prayer. I realize that you may think that... Read more

Instead of basing one’s interpretations on Christian history or tradition, Heiser suggests recovering the supernatural worldview of the original writers and readers. By doing so, the reader will be able to understand many of the “problem” passages in... Read more

The Benefits of My Church

The Benefits of My Church Matthew 16:13-20 Why should I go to church? Let’s be clear about the church. It is not something you just attend. Church is part of who you are. The church is a people, not a building. A student is not a school. A student goes to a school to learn. A worker is not a company. A worker goes to a company to work.
