Set free to serve Christ
It is said that we are free because of the sacrifice of others. As Christians we are also free…because of the sacrifice of One, Jesus Christ the Righteous. He has delivered us from sin, death and the power of the devil. Let us use our freedom to serve Him.
The Hand of the Lord creates and saves
The God who is Creator of all came to save us from sin and death in the incarnate Son of Mary, Jesus, the Christ, the Son of the living God. He is God. He first revealed Himself to Moses with the holy name “I am,” saying, “Say this to the people of Israel, ‘I am … [Read more…]
UNGRATEFUL…or THANKFUL
It seems that some Americans today act like spoiled children and don’t appreciate what we have and have been given.

The Hand of the LORD Heals the Sick
Quarantine is a term for isolating people suspected of carrying some infectious or contagious disease. In Latin, the term literally refers to “forty days.” The forty-day season of Lent serves as a sort of quarantine for sinners, a time when the medicine of repentance and faith in God’s Word brings healing and deliverance from sin, … [Read more…]
Heroes rising from seemingly Impossible Odds
In our Scripture Lessons this Sunday, we find people going up against intimidating forces…David vs. Goliath, Sinful Humans vs. Temptation to Sin, The man Jesus vs. the Fallen Angel, Satan. How could David defeat the Giant Soldier Goliath? How can we possibly stand against the temptation to sin? How could a tired Jesus defeat Satan? … [Read more…]
