Stonybank Community Church with Pastor James Carroll

Except you become as a little child you shall not enter the kingdom of heaven. BTW there is a special place in hell for those who would steel the innocence of a child.

The advice of Solomon was a jumping off point for today's Father's Day message of nine things smart dad's know from God's word.

Can you tell time according to God's word? The Lord may come today...

Of all things the disciples heard Jesus say, the one thing that captured their attention was how Jesus spoke to His Heavenly Father. In our passage the Lord's Prayer if followed by a short parable teaching us all we need to know about prayer.

Mercy is what you do when treated wrongly.

Before you talk about Peter's failure remember, all the others stayed in the boat. And notice the storm for Peter did not cease when he took Jesus by the hand but they walked together back to the boat and the wind ceased. Then, only after it was all over, they worshipped the Lord.

Every religion of the world wants to keep you not quite forgiven in order to keep you coming back.

A beautiful lesson on making disciples and the wonderful truth that failure is never final in the Christian life.

The resurrected Lord meets again with His disciples where it all began to reassure them He will be with them in Spirit and Truth.

Nowhere in scripture are you called to a blind faith. Everything leading up to and including the resurrection is the substance and evidence (Heb.11) of your faith. John always calls for a response and Thomas said, "My Lord and my God."
