    What's the big deal about a fig tree?  So what if it doesn't bear fruit.  Doesn't that happen sometimes? 
    Just a few days before this miracles of Jesus, He's entered Jerusalem with great fan fare on Palm Sunday.  Jesus had been in and throughout the city for several days now, and what He's seeing isn't just troubling but absolutely infuriating.  There's a whole lot of activity in the city, but not a whole lot of fruit.  Just like the fig tree. 
    Miraculous - Matthew 21:18-22

    The humanity of Jesus is seen in His closest relationships.  He loved people.  He cared about what they cared about.  He's not a distant God that is removed from what His people are going through.  
    But there are moments that it feels like He isn't there when He should be.  Like, when His good friend has died.  
    The problem was Jesus had information nobody else had - sickness isn't unto death.  And the ultimate purpose was the glory of God. 
    Miraculous - John 11:1-44

    The moment Jesus declared Himself God, there was a target on His back.  Even in the midst of running for His life, He stops with compassion and heals a man that had never before seen the light of day.  
    Was the man blind because of his parents sin?  Because of his own sin?  Or could this be the moment his whole life up until that point had been leading to? 
    What if we looked at every circumstance and situation as an opportunity to glorify God?
    Miraculous - John 9:1-12

    July 26 - Miraculous


    Jesus had just feed 5,000 people (really, about 25,000 men, women and children), then He insist that they leave.  Jesus sent them all home.  Not only that, He sent the disciples ahead of Himself to the other side of the sea.   


    Then He left to go and pray, alone.  


    And, wouldn't you know it, as the disciples are working their way across the sea there's a bit of a storm that's come up on the water.  

    The disciples had been in this situation before.  I can only imagine they wished so badly that Jesus was with them instead of left behind.  But, nothing could keep Jesus from the people He loved.  Not the wind, not the waves, not distance, not a storm, not anything.  He went to them.  Walking on the water. 


    Miraculous - Mark 14:22-33

    5 loaves and 2 fishes. Thankfully one momma thought about packing her little boy a lunch for the day.  The crowd wanted to see tricks, and the disciples were getting hungry.  
    The compassion of God was overwhelming.  Even though some people only followed Jesus to see what He could do for them, He fed them anyway.  Even after feeding them, when it came to the seriousness of truly following Jesus many turned away.  
    They didn't just need the bread to fill their stomachs, they needed the Bread of Life.

    At first glance it looks like Jesus has missed his opportunity.  The opportunity has come and gone and Jesus has missed it.  He didn't get there on time; it's too late.  Why couldn't He just have been a little bit quicker getting to the house? They must have been devastated. 
    God does His best work in seemingly hopeless situations.  With God, what seems like impossible becomes favorable.

    Why did Jesus want them to get in the boat if He knew a storm was coming?  And He KNEW a storm was coming.  In a very real display of the humanity of Jesus, He's resting; asleep in fact.  The disciples, however, are wide awake and scared to death.
    Do you ever feel like your surroundings press in so hard you won't survive? And at that same time does it ever feel like God is asleep during your struggle? Jesus was growing their faith. They would need it in the days to come when they would be tortured for believing.  He was calming more than just the storm.

    Jesus liked fishermen and ordinary men.  


    Jesus was in a boat with some fishermen, and He was using that platform to teach people.  But, it went from Jesus speaking to the crowd to Jesus speaking directly to Simon Peter.  Simon thought he knew what he was doing and Jesus didn't now what He was talking about, but Simon obeyed Jesus anyway.  The result was Simon seeing who he truly was, and seeing Jesus as He truly is.  But it didn't end there.  


    Miraculous - Luke 5:11

  • June 14 - What is Simple Church? Serve
    If service is not part of your heart then you probably don't need to join Simple Church. A lot of people have a Christian label, but they are't doing anything.  At Simple Church, we have to do something. 
    A man who questioned Jesus about the law has memorized the words, but the man's life and actions didn't reflect what he had learned.  
    Jesus tells the story of a man in a desperate situation and the one that was willing to help in his time of need.  At Simple Church, we have to to be the people that are known for seeing the need and going toward the need.

  • June 7 - What is Simple Church? Teach

    None of this has any power or purpose without Jesus

    Christ.  Because of Jesus, we get to have
    a relationship with God.  And it’s our
    responsibility to teach others.  We have
    to teach in the power of Jesus. If what you are hearing from the pulpit isn’t
    rooted in the Word of God it won’t make any difference in your life, it may
    only put you to sleep.   There has to be
    a change inside of you that makes you a new creation.  But, how will that happen if we don’t teach
    truth.

    What is Simple Church? Teach - John 5:30-47
