The Fig Tree

    When I was in college I took a class on Early Christian History. It was not taught through a Bible college, it was a class I took at UNM because it gave me an extra history credit I needed and it was interesting to me. During the course of this class, we had to read some of the books of the …

A Song of Complaint and Praise

    I really love King David’s Psalms. Here’s why: they are beautiful songs about the tension that David sometimes found himself in, between wanting to love the Lord with his whole heart and soul, mind and strength, but also being a broken person who had sinned and was tempted to sin and was liv…

Listen to Me

    There is an Indian man who lives in Mumbai who is an anti-natalist. If you’ve never heard that term, what it means is that he believes that parents have no right to have children without the consent of the child, and since you can’t get a child to consent to being born before they’re born, t…

Communion

Guest Preacher Pastor Allison Storch

Ebenezer

    It’s so funny, the things you think as a child. I grew up attending church regularly with my family until I was about 10, and I remember singing one of the songs we sang this morning, “Come Thou Fount”. It’s always been one of my favorite songs, even from childhood. But I remember always thi…

The Benefit of Wisdom

    The last two weeks I’ve preached about two people, Barnabas and Phoebe, who both had an influence of the early ministry of Paul, who ministered with Paul, and who seems to have been influential in the success of the early church’s ministry as well. We saw the importance of encouraging others…

The Strength of Courage

    You’ve likely heard the term “breaking the glass ceiling.” It was a term that was only coined in 1978, and it refers to difficulties faced by some in advancing to certain roles that have never been held before by someone like them. Originally, it referred to women having difficulties advanci…

The Power of Encouragement

    Proverbs 18:21 says that death and life are in the power of the tongue. James 3 says that from the same mouth comes blessings and curses, and he goes on to talk extensively about the power of our words.
    Maybe you’ve experienced something like this:
    A young person was called…

The Forgotten God: The Grief of the Spirit

    There’s a really scary verse in the gospels that talks about an unforgivable sin, the sin of blaspheming the Holy Spirit. We’re told that anything can be forgiven or pardoned except this sin. Do not blaspheme the Holy Spirit.
    It’s not likely that any of us in church regularly on …

The Forgotten God: The Empowerer

    We’ve been learning about the Holy Spirit. Who He is, what He does in us and how He moves in the church. Today, we talk about the Spirit, the empowerer. It’s one of the incredibly important ways the Spirit works in each of us, as individuals, but also in the corporate body of the church. Wit…

The Forgotten God: The Intercessor

    Charles Spurgeon once preached what in his judgment was one of his poorest sermons. He stammered and floundered, and when he got through felt that it had been a complete failure. He was greatly humiliated, and when he got home he fell on his knees and said, "Lord, God, thou canst do somethin…

The Forgotten God: The Role of the Spirit

    When I was learning how to drive and in college working for a pizza delivery company that took me all over a new city, I didn’t have access to GPS. GPS systems just were still really new, and really expensive and it was definitely out of my price range as a high school student and college st…

The Forgotten God: The Attributes of the Spirit

    Thursday was Star Wars Day. It’s May the 4th every year, which sounds a lot like the Star Wars catch phrase, “May the force be with you.” So of course, I wore my best Star Wars T-shirt and send nerdy Star Wars texts to my family, because I like Star Wars. If you’re not familiar with Star War…
