Well, a whole week has gone by... since Easter. I imagine that many of you had the opportunity to meet with family and share a special meal, others will have had a time to meditate on Jesus’ death and resurrection and still others may have had to face persecution, difficulties or pressures of many kinds. But, I believe that for all of us, this is a time to strengthen our endurance and maybe strengthen our faith.

Today's message is titled: Believe And Trust - John 20:19-31

I don’t know about you, but I feel we often associate believing with our “heads” and trusting with our “hearts”. Here is where you come to realize, that to experience Belief or Trust” is not enough. We need both, we need to trust in God, by believing and trusting that even now he is with you - and with me - in the form of the Holy Spirit.

The most important thing that Christian Faith says is that the Cross and the Resurrection were one event. This means, while you may not have chosen your suffering, but you don't have to stay there.

God sent his Son into our suffering, so that we would not have to stay there. God resurrected Jesus because he wants us to live again. He wants us to get out of whatever depths of despair we might find ourselves in. This is how Christian Faith says it: “You cannot endure the cross without expecting a resurrection”

We are in the crucial days of the Holy Week. It's Friday, Good Friday and the question today is: What does the cross mean to you?

May our Lord bless you abundantly on this day! - Today's message is titled: Father, I entrust my spirit into your hands! - from Luke 22:14-71 and Luke 23:1-56, The message is a bit different in that I will spend most of the time today simply reading from God‘s Word, from the Bible.

Normally I would take a small section of Scripture and speak about that, but today the Lord seems to have told me to simply read His Word and this starts us at Palm Sunday, and quickly takes us right past that to all the happenings afterwards... One week after Palm Sunday, after all those “Hosannas”, Jesus, the son of God would be dead, and his death would be the result of the demands of his own people, many of whom were probably right there among the crowd shouting “Hosanna” on Palm Sunday… After all that Jesus had done, some of the religious leaders were scared, envious, or maybe, just maybe Jesus had disrupted their security blankets, revealed their sham, and worst of all - opposed their authority, hurt their egos. So, they started preparing a new plan.

Alive with Christ - Psalm 126

As I looked at Psalm 126 I found it leading me to Ephesians 2. In Ephesians 2:4 I found two words, two beautiful words where we see the grace of God, where we see His love, where we realize, He didn’t make us so that we would perish. Where we realize He wants us with Him. Those two so very important words: “BUT GOD...”

Psalm 32, a song full of joy, but it also points out an issue many of us need to deal with. we need to decide.

Today's message is titled: "I have decided" . I think the best example for "I have decided" is in Luke 15 where Jesus tells the parable of the prodigal son. You remember, right? Youngest son gets dad to give him his inheritance and then takes off into a foreign land and parties until money runs out and a famine comes. He hires out to earn food, working with pigs. Even their food looks good to him... Then he makes a decision, admits his shame and guilt and sin, returns to dad looking to be a servant, but dad receives him with open arms. He decided.

Repent - Clean The Stain - 1 Corinthians 10: 1-13

While we are looking at Cleansing and Stain as key words relating to repentance today, there's something I learned again today and that is that the Lord is faithful. He will not allow temptation to be more than we can stand. When we are tempted, He will show us a way out so that we can endure.
