Jesus called Levi, a tax collector, to follow him. Levi held a dinner at his house where Jesus and his disciples ate with many tax collectors and sinners. The scribes and Pharisees complained about Jesus associating with such people. Jesus responded that he had come to call sinners, not the righteous, implying that sick people need a doctor more than the healthy do.

Throughout the fourth gospel, the author identifies himself as the "Beloved Disciple." We will discuss why he does so and whether the author of the disciple who Jesus appears to in John 21 is, in fact, John the son of Zebedee or someone else. This sermon asks a key question: What does it mean to be a "beloved disciple of Jesus."
Let this be a starting point and not a stopping point for us! This is our 5th and final lesson! Act 17:6 But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some brethren to the rulers of the city, crying out, "These who have turned the world upside down have come here too.
We all have some degree of fear – what does yours look like? A recent poll shows that our top current fears are rooted in COVID, gun violence, health and politics. This weekend’s Gospel of Jesus calming the waters is all about Jesus confronting his disciples about their fear. Why? Because fear has a way of controlling our emotions and leading us to actions that are unloving. For the opposite of fear is not bravery. The opposite of fear is love. Check it out and see what I mean…

Putting Feet to Your Faith_True ReligionStephen Palm
In the third sermon in the series "Putting Feet to Your Faith" we will look at James reference to "true religion." James is the only New Testament author to use religion in a positive sense. He contrasts false religion and true religion. We will see that true religion is a faith that has a practical expression.
A Bible based message which provides inspiration, information and instruction on effectively using the "light" of God's word and Christian will to empower our lives and enlighten others.
Biblical Text: John 1:1-18
Being all in doesn’t mean your theology is all in order, or your life all in order, but it does mean we desire to answer His call to follow in all we do and do for Him whatever He calls us to.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers.

Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…
