As we have been studying forgiveness this month and looking at Peter’s question of how often I should forgive those who have sinned against me, I have been thinking about another question that was asked of Jesus. Who is my neighbor? In Luke chapter 10, Jesus had been asked which was the greatest commandment. He answered to “Love the Lord your God with all of your heart, soul and mind” and then offered a second commandment to “love your neighbor as yourself”. Then he was asked

In Hebrews 8:13, the Bible says, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever”. This verse is often quoted but I wonder if we have ever stopped to think about what this verse really means. Simply put, it means that Jesus never changes. Being that Jesus is a part of the God head, the same could be said for God the Father and the Holy Spirit. Often, we may hear people reference “the God of the Old Testament”. Well, God is the same God today that He was when He spoke t

One of the hardest things as a Christian is to forgive those who have wronged us. It is just human nature to hold a grudge and not want to forgive others. The problem is, when we refuse to forgive others, we are harming ourselves. You see, forgiveness is more for us than it is for those who need to be forgiven. In Matthew 6:15, Jesus tells us that if we don’t forgive those who have wronged us than God will not forgive us for our sins. By offering forgiveness freely we are fre

This month our theme has been “Much More Prayer”. We all know that prayer is something we should do often , as 1 Thessalonians 5:17 tells us to “pray without ceasing”. Jesus even instructed us on how to pray. As Christians we know that pray is an essential part of our daily walk with God. So why is it so hard. I think like anything else; it takes practice. As an athlete in high school, I always heard the “practice makes perfect”. Now that I have got into coaching, I have lear

Many times, in life we go through situations that we don’t understand. We face trials that at the time we feel will break us. Last July I began such a trial. Most of you know that last July 22 my dad went to be with the Lord. Today, is the anniversary of the day we brought him home from the hospital. It was the beginning of a very tough and trying year. I still do not understand why this happened but as time has gone on, I have come to realize that God is in control. Job had
