Eternity as our Goal
Whom have I in heaven but you? I desire you more than anything on earth. My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; he is mine forever. Psalm 73:25–26 (NLT) Can you imagine the beautiful things that Asaph, the song leader of tabernacle worship would have encountered as he entered the tabernacle?

Who’s the boss?
I was thinking of a song from my teen years, Tighter, Tighter by Alive & Kicking. Two lovers pledging their hearts yet worrying that they’ll lose each other (you can see it here on Youtube https://youtu.be/D_JxpggC-Ic). It made me think of how the most natural thing to do when it seems like something important to me is coming apart is to try and hold it together. If it’s a vital relationship that seems to be slipping away, I try to…
The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath
One Sabbath, Jesus, and his disciples are walking through grain fields and being followed by some religious guys. These religious guys were always around Jesus, just watching for a way to discredit Him. Their jealousy and hatred for Jesus burned in them constantly. The hungry disciples started reaching out and grabbing some of the ripe grain to eat as they were walking along. Or maybe they just had what we call the munchies? Yet, in the opinion of the religious…

Psalm Sunday was just another day until Jesus came in on donkey’s colt and the crowd, made up mostly of those he had touched cried: “Hossana – “Save Now.” This display lead to aa crazed city asking in an uproar as he entered. “Who is this?” they asked. And the crowds replied, “It’s Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.” Matt.21:10-11(NLT) As we begin week five in our Speaking of Mercy series so far it’s been primarily about God’s mercy toward as our focus.

But we saw that it’s God’s mercy that qualifies us! It’s God’s mercy that transforms all of us to participate in the greatest joy for…
Speaking of Mercy Part 3: Mercy Says Enjoy & Forgive
Here’s my outline notes from March 26 “Mercy Says – Enjoy and Forgive”. We spoke of a truth that promised to bring to our senses and our wills the freedom that often we only embrace as knowledge. We found that truth was spoken by Jesus to his disciples as they asked him for direction on prayer. That truth was “forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us.” Matthew 6:12 (NLT). Together we see that what God has done for us in his forgiveness through Jesus…
