Sunday Seed Thoughts: Preaching
All I can add to this post is a hearty amen!
While on his third missionary journey, Paul came to Troas where he spent the week. He met with the brethren. Worshipped. Communed. And preached. (Acts 20:6-7)
Preaching. It’s been a part of worship since the first century church began on that Pentecost Sunday in Acts 2. Peter preached. He preached Jesus. His death. Burial. Resurrection. And ascension. He preached God’s plan for salvation.

Quote of the Day
"We’ve got to stop thinking of family entertainment as “safe” merely by counting the number of cusswords or asking whether the movie contains overt displays of sexuality and violence. When our focus remains on the surface, we underestimate the more powerful and persuasive aspects of art. Plenty of films rated G and PG promote messages … Continue reading Quote of the Day

Coming Near to God
What do a Roman centurion, a tax collector, and a blind man have in common? And, no, this is not a setup to a bad joke. They each teach us a lesson about how to approach God.

Renewed Interest in the Bible
Here is a post by Ken Weliever that I hope will be as encouraging to you as it was to me.
“The two most popular podcasts in the United States right now are not about sports, news, or even pop culture. They’re about the Bible,” according to an article by Christian Headlines contributor Michael Foust.
Foust reports that “The Bible in a Year,” hosted by Mike Schmitz is No. 1 in the U.S. on Apple’s podcast charts. And No. 2 is “The Bible Recap” by Tara-Leigh Cobble.
“The podcasts rank higher than podcasts by The New York Times, NBC, Joe Rogan, and NPR,” writes Foust.

So, this morning we want to look at Psalm 19, which was the first psalm we … Continue reading Declaring the Glory of God

Joel 2: I Will Restore
Last Sunday evening, we began our study of the book of Joel. As we noted last time, Joel's name means "Yahweh is God," which can also be the theme for the oracle. We also noted why Joel is probably a post-exile prophet, traced the overall theme in the book, and dealt with the first chapter … Continue reading Joel 2: I Will Restore
