Reviving Our Spirits – 1 Corinthians 15:58
When wolves hunt for prey, they usually work in packs. They may chase their prey until the young, weak, or sick lag behind making an easy target. Wolves often wound their prey and wait for exhaustion to wear them down. They hunt well in deep, crusted snow. Large animals like deer and elk break through […]
Christ’s Better Priesthood – Hebrews 7:1-28
Sometimes we may wish we could go back and live in what we call “the good ole days”. Before we make that wish, we must consider the benefits of our day. One that stands out vividly for me is that I now type my sermons on a computer instead of a manual typewriter. Some of […]

When a religious person says, “I hope I will go to heaven someday,” he or she is stating a wish. Those who make such a hopeful wish are usually following a religious path that does not lead to heaven. The hope described in the Bible is a firm confidence in God’s promises. God promises every […]

Reflecting God’s Love – 1 John 3:16-24
Reflections are amazing. Reflections on a lake can be almost as clear as the landscape behind it if the water is totally calm. Spiritually, God wants us to be a clear reflection of His love. The greatest evidence that God loves us is the fact that He laid down His life for us. God’s love […]
