Today’s Message:  Resurrection Day (AKA Easter) is coming, as we anticipate it we will look at some of the benefits of it for us today.  Everybody wants peace, although many do not fully understand what it is or how to get it as Scripture uses it.  Biblical Shalom is a deep and full concept beyond our word for it including reconciliation with God, and it is a gift from Him and it’s not like the world’s peace.  Jesus gives eternal comfort and confidence in His Peace.

Today’s Message:  Today we take on a strange and interesting text of a leader and a story not well known.  Jephthah’s half-brothers sent him away so he wouldn’t share their inheritance, but they came ‘crawling’ back to him when they were in trouble.  While he was ‘manipulating God’ he was given a victory for God’s people living like pagans around them. Jephthah may be best known for an ill-advised vow, and we’ll learn much from what he did about it.

Today’s Message:  Today we celebrate the Lord’s Supper/Communion, and we’ll see what the original meal was like that became our sacrament by Jesus command.  We’ll discuss both old and new covenant and the connection to The Lord’s Supper as Jesus one sacrifice for our sins replaced the sacrifices of the old covenants.

Today’s Message:  Today we look at slavery in a few ways and how we should relate to all people and the Family of God.  Slavery is very old and has changed in some ways over time, some ‘Christians’ distorted scripture to defend U.S. slavery in its first 200 years.   We’ll see it was and is clearly wrong Biblically as we briefly look at the struggle to end it.  All humans have been slaves to sin but are set free in Jesus Christ.

Today’s Message:  Today we will see a very negative response to the brilliant analogy God gave Jeremiah and the consequences of trying to suppress the Word of the Lord.  God gave the priest in charge of punishing Temple troublemakers (real or imagined) a new name.  Maybe there is not much we can do to stop the evil in our society (abortion and others), but we need to be sure to speak God’s truth against evil!

Today’s Message:  Today we’ll review the brilliant analogy God gave Jeremiah and the response to his message.  God sent him back to the shop to buy a water jug for a similar but different visual aid – the people who continue in their huge sin will be smashed to bits, like the jar! Again God offers grace to those who change from their evil ways and destruction to those who do not!

Today’s Message:  God gave Jeremiah a brilliant analogy giving insight into the relationship between His will and our human responsibility in the potters shop at his wheel, and it reaches many levels.  We’ll see it is advice from God himself for his people, and while pots can’t ignore the potter, we people can and often do ignore such advice from God – at our own peril!
