Is it possible that the church is concerned about growth only until it experiences it? We pray that our numbers will increase, but we get slightly uncomfortable as soon as the little church we love starts to grow. Growth means change, and we don’t particularly like change. Change can be painful, but might adapting to […]

Jesus was announced by the angel’s words, “I bring you good news of great joy for all people!” When the victory is done, a battle or war is won. The outcome is no longer uncertain, but good; it is time to celebrate. Cast all your care on God because he cares for you. This is […]

Acts 4 is an epic battle between a David-like underdog and a Goliath-like giant. In one corner you have two rather unschooled, unimpressive Galilean fishermen named Peter and John. In the other corner you have all the power and authority of 2,000 years of religious tradition. It is the first clash in the history of […]
