How Can We See Jesus? (John 12)
In verse 20 some Greeks come looking for Jesus. They asked one of Jesus’ disciples, Philip, if they could see Jesus. The Greeks’ request is relayed to Jesus. Instead of going to them physically, Jesus answers them with some teaching. It seems that to know Jesus and what he stood for did not necessarily require […]
Forgiveness
“Some labor and struggle hard to earn forgiveness, but better than these is the man who forgets the wrongs done to him. Forgive quickly and you will be abundantly forgiven. To forget wrongs is to prove oneself truly repentant, but to brood on them and at the same time to imagine one is practicing repentance […]
The Spirit Beneath Our Wings! A Reflection On Mark 1:29-39 And Isaiah 40:21-31
Jesus waited trustingly on God in a deserted place in the early hours of the morning. And as he waited God showed him another way. Not the way of popularity and success, but the way of suffering that ran all the way to the cross. But Isaiah’s promise held true. He rose up with the […]

Nothing Is Too Big For God
Two men went fishing. One man was an experienced fisherman, the other wasn’t. Every time the experienced fisherman caught a big fish, he put it in his ice chest to keep it fresh. Whenever the inexperienced fisherman caught a big fish, he threw it back. The experienced fisherman watched this go on all day and […]
Salt And Light (Matthew 5:13-16)
When we give our lives to Christ we begin a journey with others who have also been called on the journey of faith. To be followers of Jesus means that we are also sent by him. We are primarily: SENT ONES. We are sent out into the darkness to be his lights. As followers of […]
Words Are Not Enough (Mark 5:21-43)
In this day and age words are cheap. In our information-overloaded world, words have become like background noise. However, words and language are what make being human possible.
