Ephesians 4:32

Following some things isn’t wise…

But following Jesus transforms our lives. We’ll talk about good “followership” this Sunday.

“When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12)

There are some things certain folks shouldn’t try to use…

But spiritual gifts aren’t one of them. We’ll talk about it Sunday, as we start the new year. I hope to see you in church!

Blessings,

Pastor Basile

“As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another…” (1 Peter 4:10)

Some names are……creative.

Others are deeply meaningful, like the names Scripture gives Jesus. We’ll talk about it Sunday, the Fourth Sunday of Advent. I hope to see you in church!

Blessings,

Pastor Basile

“…at the name of Jesus every knee will bow--in heaven and on earth and under the earth… (Philippians 2:10)

Life is full of disruptions. Some are just, well…..odd.

Many, however, can grow our faith. We’ll talk about it this Sunday, the Third Sunday of Advent.

Blessings,

Pastor Basile

“…they are disrupting whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach…” (Titus 1:11)

Sometimes it’s better not to know……..(Like, where something delicious is that you can’t eat…)

The same, however, is true of faith. We’ll talk about it Sunday, the First Sunday of Advent.

Blessings,

Pastor Basile

"Who has known the mind of the Lord?...” (Romans 11:34)

A young pet goat standing on a pet capybara’s head

(something you don’t see every day…)

Like pet capybaras, all of us have bad days… Jesus teaches us how to respond. We’ll talk about it Sunday

“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end… (Lamentations 3:22)

A capybara is a South American mammal that resembles a giant long-legged guinea pig. It lives in groups near water and is the largest living rodent.

Sometimes, it’s obvious we have enough…

What does it mean, though, for US to be “enough” for God?...

Peace,

Pastor Basile

“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23)

Everybody regrets saying, “Yes,” sometimes… (like when you’ve let someone else pick out your costume…)

So…How do we determine when it’s right, to say, “Yes?”

Pastor Basile

“All you need to say is simply 'Yes' or 'No'…” (Matthew 5:37)

“Call to Me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.” (Jeremiah 33:3)

Have you ever experienced a cataclysmic change in your life?...When that happens, how should we respond?

This is the second sermon in a two-part sermon series from the Book of Jeremiah, entitled, “Jeremiah: An End and A Beginning.” During this series, we’re exploring two of the prophet Jeremiah’s teachings about big, disruptive changes. The first he gave just before the complete destruction of the Israelite Kingdom in 587 B.C. by the Babylonians, and the second he gave after the Kingdom’s destruction. These teachings are filled with divinely-inspired wisdom that speaks directly to our lives as Christians today.
