Blog postThe first thing we did in this new year was to share communion with our church family. What a wonderful time. We worshiped out the old year and welcomed the new as the body of Christ. As I was preparing to share the Lord’s Supper with the family, this is what the Lord brought to my attention.
Let’s start with Matthew’s account.
While they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and after a blessing, He broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.”3 weeks ago Read more -
Blog postTwo short lessons from Psalm 26:8 this morning.
O LORD, I love the habitation of Your house And the place where Your glory dwells. – Psalm 26:8 NASB
Lesson one: I love to dwell in You, Lord. I love living in You. I love dwelling–abiding–in Christ.
Simple and to the point.
Lesson two: However, what (who) is Your habitaion?
So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God’s household, having3 months ago Read more -
Blog postI’ve been listening to Phil Vischer’s podcast, the Holy Post from its inception. I think I picked up on in around episode 8 and caught up that next week. I have only missed a few of them over the years. I love the fun banter and enjoy the theological discussions.
I don’t agree with them on everything, but I respect Phil (of Veggie Tales fame) and Skye Jethani. Their Biblical world view and willingness to talk about sticky issues of faith always push me to think and pray through issues3 months ago Read more -
Blog postBehold the Lamb of God
Tonight we take another look at Jesus. We started with Jesus, and I can’t help but come back to Him on a regular basis. Healing School is at its core Jesus school. But tonight we take John the Baptist’s words to heart.
The next day he (John) saw Jesus coming to him and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! – John 1:29 NASB
And again
and he looked at Jesus as He walked, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!” – J3 months ago Read more -
Blog postLast week, as we looked at the woman with the issue of blood, we found that she spoke. We talked about our confession, our words last week. We looked at a bunch of scriptures that talked about the importance of our words.
Tonight, I’m taking a dive into another aspect of her words, that we looked at last week. I know her words are actually a tiny part of her story, but as we’re going to see tonight, they are the foundation of the life of faith.

Blog postLast week we focused on one thing from the story of the woman with the issue of blood. We looked at what ‘receive’ ment for her.
Remember the two examples – a passive reception – like when granny gives you that gift on Christmas morning and the active – go after it with all you have receive – ‘take hold’ like the football receiver who pulls the sprialling football out of the air and pulls it in and holds on with all him might as the plows down the field.

Blog postI’m calling tonight’s class – The anatomy of Faith. We’re going to look a woman’s encounter with Jesus–her encounter with Sozo. Then we’ll break it down in light of what we’ve learned about faith.
Our encounter starts with a woman who had been living with a hemorrhage for twelve years. It’s a familiar story, but in it we’ll find a perfect example of how faith works. Before we start our faith forensics, let’s read the encounter. This particular story appears in three of the gospel acco4 months ago Read more -
Blog postLet’s start with a quick review.
We’re using as our main text book, God’s own word, the Bible. A key to our study can be found in Proverbs 4
My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your sight; Keep them in the midst of your heart. For they are life to those who find them And health to all their body. – Proverbs 4:20-22 NASB

Blog postWe’re going back to Jesus’ encounter with the paralytic. Let’s start by re-reading Luke’s account.
One day He was teaching; and there were some Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting there, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was present for Him to perform healing. And some men were carrying on a bed a man who was paralyzed; and they were trying to bring him in and to set him down in front of Him. But not finding any wa5 months ago Read more -
Blog postAnd lifting up their eyes, they saw no one except Jesus Himself alone. – Matthew 17:8 NASB
The scene is the Mount of Transfiguration. The Bible doesn’t tell us exactly which mountain it was, and there are those who believe it was likely Mt. Tabor. I took this picture on my trip to the Holy Land this spring. This is Mt Tabor viewed from the precipice outside of Nazareth where they tried to push Jesus to His death.

Encounters with Jesus: Forty days in the life of Jesus through the eyes of those He touched.
Mar 20, 2015
$4.99
Join me as I walk through the life of Jesus, and look at Him through the eyes of those He touched. What would it have been like to be on the boat when Jesus calmed the sea? How would it feel to see your son raised from the dead? How would you react if Jesus asked you to sell all that you have? Can you imagine standing at the foot of the cross?
Herein are stories from dozens who encountered Jesus as He walked the streets of Palestine two thousand years ago. I find myself in many of these stories, and you will too. As you put yourself in their skin, and hear the words of Jesus spoken directly to you, they will come to life .
Each story is based on the gospel narratives, some more loosely than others. But in each you will sense the wonder of being with Jesus. You’ll see His compassion played out vividly in the lives of those He touched. You may feel Him speaking directly to you as you look through the eyes of one who stood in His presence.
