Where Sunday's Message Meets Everyday Life

  • Where’s Your Faith?

    In reading Luke 8:22-25, I gleaned some keen insights: Life is unpredictable. The disciples never expected the storm, and we rarely expect the the challenges that come our way. Faith is essential. We are called to walk by faith (2 Corinthians 5:7) and even told that everything that does not come from faith is sin… Continue reading

  • Monday Morning – It’s HOT!

    It’s a Georgia summer alright.  Temperature first thing this a.m. was 84 degrees.  It will get close to triple digits again! I’m back to blogging.  I’ve missed it, but took a break to get other things done.  So, how shall we get started? How about a review of the key insights from yesterday?  The message… Continue reading

  • Great Insight for the Church

    Leonard Sweet – “The church is trying to get out of what God is trying to get into – the world. We have churches full of people who love Jesus, but who don’t love what Jesus loved.” This should not be considered a condemnation of the church, but a call to evaluation. The church must… Continue reading

  • Learning New Stuff

    At Grace Fellowship we I have undertaken the task of putting sermons up on the web. After a little training, I spent a day and a half trying to get it right, editing the messages, setting up the web page, uploading files, etc. I’m getting way too old for this! Still, I got it done,… Continue reading

  • God’s Immense Grace – part III

    Jerry Bridges is continuing to refresh my soul as I consider God’s grace each day. Here’s what he wrote that really hit home with me this morning – “We’re dependent upon the righteousness of Christ for our acceptance with God, and upon the power of Christ for our ability to pursue spiritual growth.” In short,… Continue reading

  • God’s Immense Grace – part II

    There is knowledge that informs you and knowledge that changes you. I know about God’s grace. I have experienced it. I live in it whether I realize it or not. But when I meditate upon the grace of God, it becomes knowledge that changes my perspective and my actions. This morning as I was reading… Continue reading

  • God’s Immense Grace

    This is from my devotional this morning. I hope it speaks to your heart as it did mine. “Your worst days are never so bad that you’re beyond the reach of God’s grace. And your best days are never so good that you’re beyond the need of God’s grace.” (Jerry Bridges) I am so grateful… Continue reading

  • Angry?

    A conversation today triggered in my mind some inspired words that the Apostle Paul wrote:  “In your anger do not sin. Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold.” (Ephesians 2:6-7) Anger is a normal human emotion. When directly properly it can rightly be seen… Continue reading

  • God’s Agenda

    When God makes you aware of some unconfessed sin or some deeply hidden flaw, He is doing so because He is ready to act in your life.  He is ready to move you forward toward holiness – toward the image of Jesus Christ. He does not reveal your sin or flaw to condemn you.  He… Continue reading

  • The Snowflake Man

    Ever heard of Wilson Bentley? He was a farmer who did something remarkable. He was self-educated, which is in itself a noteworthy achievement, but he went on to do something that no one else had done before him. And his discovery has ingrained itself into our understanding of the world. What was it that Bentley… Continue reading
