The recent solar eclipse reminded people just how amazing the sun and moon really and got people looking up into the heavens for the first time in a long time.  Similarly, we often take God for granted and forget just how amazing He truly is.  But in the last verses of Romans 11, we're reminded just how amazing the Triune God truly is and that he is worthy of our awe and worship. 

The interaction between Jesus and the Canaanite woman is a challenging text, but one from which there is a lot to learn. 

The account of Jesus (and later Peter) walking on water is often misunderstood and misused, but it's also an important and powerful account when rightly understood. 

With five loaves and two fish, Jesus fed about 5000 men, plus women and children, and caused there to be enough left over for each disciple to have a basket full of food.  What can we learn from this event?  What does it mean for us today?

People today seem  more confused than ever about who they are and what they are supposed to do, but knowing God as our Father gives us an identity and helps us understand what we are to do with our lives. 

If you have ever really tried your best to live for the Lord, but found yourself still falling into sin, or if you've ever really tried to live without sinning, but still failed, then St. Paul's message in Romans 7 is exactly what you need to hear.  

It's easy to believe the Bible or celebrate the words of Jesus when they agree with what you already think or what you want to believe.  But what about the times when it is hard?  What about the times when God's Word contradicts what you believe or think? 

Every Reformation event in the history of God's people has involved a return to the Word of God and in the New Testament era, a right understanding of who Jesus is and what He has done.  That's still the case today.
