Building on the Cornerstone

Jesus faced a challenge as he stood in a synagogue on the sabbath and saw a man with a  withered hand. One does not work on the sabbath, but Jesus asks is it better to do harm or good on the sabbath. The Pharisees stood silent while Jesus did not hesitate and healed the man.

If you see a need… meet it. If we are to do what Jesus did, we are to meet a need as soon as we can. Immediately, we are to help. Because when we don’t say anything, speak out against injustice, our silence can be deadly.

Matthew 12:1-14; Mark 3:1-6

As children, how often do we do everything our parent tells us too? What about as children of God? God loves each of us as we are, but are there conditions to this love? This message explores what the scripture tells us about Gods love.

After a very difficult week, it is hard to find words to express what we are feeling. It is in these times that we must turn our mouths, our bodies, our hearts back over to God. We can pick up the words of the Psalms to fill in our own lament. We can read God’s word, and remember that we are called to be the light. We are called to be peacemakers. We are called to shine His love on every man, woman, and child on this Earth.

Jesus’ words for the tired and weary still hold for you today.

“Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matt 11:28-30
