Isaiah 6:1-8 – Many worship leaders have used the Scripture passage for today’s scripture reading as a call to worship.  Certainly that is fitting, especially when we get a clear picture in mind for what worship is all about.  In our culture, worship tends to be seen as a cultural event aimed at the people.  […]

By on Tuesday, November 16th, 2010 | No Comments

Read John 11 – Our society is preoccupied with issues related to  “life after death.”  Books, articles and television programs have addressed the question: “What happens to a person after death?”  People want to know—when facing death—if  they simply cease to exist or if there’s something more. For centuries the Church has been inspired by […]

He was an upstanding citizen in his community and extremely loyal to his church.  Everything was going just fine, till this “sinner” entered the room.  She wasn’t such an upstanding member of the community.  She had no business in such a gathering – no business in the home of […]
