When the Magi visit Jesus, they are doing more than just following a star. They are living out a picture of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Through a miracle, God offers the truth of Jesus to those far off in darkness, the Magi, to an evil King in Herod and to the Jewish people. Only…
Fun Christian Music from Ellie Holcomb. Marvelous Light video.
Pastor Unlikely – It is really easy to be dragged down by guilt. Though it seems right to us let the blackness of sin define us at times. This is never how Jesus sees us. We are washed clean. We are new creations in Christ. We are not bound by our sins, despair or guilt.
The Riot and the Dance Christian Movie Review Pastor Unlikely – A New Movie that explores the truth of God’s invisible attributes being clearly seen through His Creation. Science and Nature testifying to God’s Glory.
Joseph and Mary are giants of the Christian faith. They are the parents of the Messiah. They are the couple chosen to raise Jesus. Think about the enormity of that! What an amazing blessing and responsibility, right? We sometimes forget in our marveling at their positions that they were just two regular people like you…
I Can Only Imagine is a Great Story of Redemption I Can Only Imagine was released digitally this week. My wife and I liked it so much in the theaters that we eagerly watched it a second time. This time the whole family joined in. The Verdict? It is as good the second time around,…
Sermons Series – The Book of Matthew starts off with God announcing Jesus’ genealogy. While this does not seem overly important to us, it was to the Jewish people who were the target of his Gospel. In order to prove that Jesus was the Messiah, Matthew had to show that He was a Son of David as well as a Child of Abraham. Both of these goals are accomplished but in surprising ways. Where the Jewish people were expecting a Royal King who confirmed their greatness, Jesus sets out His family line to the world that is less than perfect according to their standards. His lineage includes murderers, adulterers and outright evil kings. His family also includes prostitutes, foreigners and poor virgins from a little town named Nazareth.
We are told to pray for one another in the Body of Christ, no matter where we are. So, how can I life you up to Jesus today? Jesus loves you!
Jesus tells us to “Go, make disciples, baptize and teach”. Pretty clear, right? We know what go means and we understand what make disciples mean. It is obvious what teach means and the Scripture makes clear this was Jesus speaking. But do we also know that this is not a suggestion from Jesus? That the One who has authority over us issued these words as a direct command?
Pator Unlikely – Ghost Ship: Where Were You? Great Christian Music Video based on the Book of Job. When we see that God is God and we are not, life becomes infinitely simpler
God only sends chastisement to us as believers when we are headed for bigger trouble and to bring us back to Him. We should welcome the wounds of the brother rather than fight against them.
If you are interested in the depth of feeling behind the original hymn, look up Horatio Spafford. He lost his business and his four daughters just before penning the classic song. His wife sent him a telegram after the shipwreck that took his daughters with the message “Saved alone”. Such heartache it must have been!…
Giving away anything is hard on our flesh. Sacrificing what is most valuable, our prized possession is harder. Yet, God knows that this is exactly what we need for a great walk with Him. The more we give away from ourselves, the more we get to understand the heart of God. The more we offer to God, the more He gives us.
God is Love. The Bible tells us that God is love. John emphasizes just how important this aspect of God’s nature is in 1 John 4. He says that if we don’t love then we don’t actually know God. God is so defined by being love that if we have a relationship with Him, we…
