“Why doesn’t God love gays?” That was the question a teenager asked on a recent Wednesday during our youth ministry time. To be honest, the question was sort of out of the blue since the discussion was on the return of Jesus, but clearly it was on the heart of at least one, if not many, of the teens there that night. …
This week we continue the season of Advent, which is the Christian season of preparation for Christmas. Our theme this year is “Hope of the Nations,” and we are thinking on the world-wide hope found in Jesus Christ. We’re meditating on the ideas of light, life, liberty, love, and Lord. Our focus this week is on love. We read in Ephesians 2:1-7:…
God tells us through Paul, as translated in the KJV, to rightly divide Word of God, the Bible (2 Tim. 2:15). Unfortunately, that doesn’t always happen. People like to take the Scripture—especially the words of Jesus—and fill them with a different meaning than intended by God. Recently, President Obama did just that on May 9, 2012 when he announced in an interview with ABC’s Robin Roberts that he now supports the legalization of homosexual marriage and used the Golden Rule as one of his reasons…

Our text this week comes from Revelation 19:11-21: 11 And I saw heaven opened,…
A few nights ago I was up late going through some mp3 songs to put on my phone. I’m sure you know how songs so easily take you down Memory Lane. I was well on my way when I ran across Phil Vassar’s song from back in 2000 called “Just Another Day in Paradise.” The song is all about how crazy life…
It’s inevitable. One day your young child as he or she developmentally matures will have their eyes opened to fact that people are different. People come in many shapes, sizes, portions, abilities, tones, traits, and trappings, and up to a certain age, your little one will innocently be blind to all of this. But that will change. One day they’ll begin to notice differences…
Do you ever find yourself faking kindness or love to somebody? Maybe it’s that person that sort of gets under your skin. Maybe it’s that person who hurt you in the past. Maybe it’s that person that you just don’t like or have a bad feeling about. What if that person is in your church? Should you just continue to fake it?…
This week we continue the season of Advent by focusing on love. Our 2009 Advent theme is “The Songs of Christmas,” and each week we’ll be looking at a song from the gospel of Luke surrounding the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. Our song this week comes from Luke 2:29-32. This is Simeon’s song, which he sang the day he held…
