Have you ever been afraid to ask a question? We’ve all heard the saying “there are no dumb questions” and yet, we are often afraid to ask. Sometimes we believe that we should already know, sometimes we are sure that everyone else knows, sometimes we just hope that we will figure it out before we...

The voice of God has tremendous power. The creation account in Genesis 1 teaches us that “God said, ‘Let there be light’; and there was light.” Everything God made was made by His voice, He spoke and things that did not previously exist suddenly existed: light and darkness, land and sea, grass and trees, stars,...

How does a request for water turn into a revelation of the Messiah? How does confronting culture become healing rejection? How does disrupting understanding open the door for establishing worship? How does Jesus lead an outcast of her community to become a trusted voice for eternity? Jesus told Zacchaeus that the Son of Man came...

Over the last year or so you have heard me often ask the question, “Why are we having arguments when we should be having conversations?” Arguments are battles of will, they are competitions of right and wrong, they are an effort to prove ourselves, our point or our positions while conversations are a determined exercise...

As you may have already figured out from the last month or so of hearing me preach, this passage of Scripture fascinates me. I’ve preached from it many times before but this is the first time I’ve had the opportunity to slowly go through it, not just verse by verse but word by word and...

A few weeks ago, when we started looking at this passage we discussed the meaning of John’s statement that Jesus “needed to go through Samaria”. Jesus made it very clear that His life, the life He lived here on earth was lived in complete surrender to His Father in heaven. In John 5:19 He said...
