God is On Display in You (Easter Reflection)

I am so thankful that Our Father in Heaven called my family to Baltimore. Most of this letter is going to be my reflection on the blessing of Easter Weekend  and thank God for you and how you are living on display for Him. God has started a great work in you and I have [...]

Father, into Your hands…

“Father, into Your hands I commit my spirit” -Luke 23:46 As Jesus completely committed himself to God, even to the point of death, we follow his example now. We want to be committed to God and his plan, even with our last breath. Prayer Father, we commit ourselves into your hands: For… It was your [...]

It is Finished!

“It is Finished” -John 19:30 When Jesus said, “It is finished,” surely He was expressing relief that his suffering was over. “It is finished” meant, in part, “This is finally done!” But the Greek verb translated as “It is finished” (tetelestai) means more. Eugene Peterson captures the full sense of the verb in The Message: [...]

I am thirsty…

“I am thirsty” -John 19:28 No doubt Jesus experienced extreme thirst while being crucified. He would have lost a substantial quantity of bodily fluid, both blood and sweat, through what he had endured even prior to crucifixion. Thus his statement, “I am thirsty” was, on the most obvious level, a request for something to drink. [...]

My God, my God…

“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” -Mark 15:34 As Jesus was dying on the cross, he echoed the beginning of Psalm 22, which reads: My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? Why are you so far away when I groan for help? Every day I call to you, my God, [...]

Women here is your son…

“Woman, here is your son… …Here is your mother.” -John 19:26-27 As Jesus was dying, his mother was among those who had remained with Him. Most of the male disciples had fled, with the exception of one whom the Gospel of John calls “the disciple whom He loved”, most likely, John. Jesus was concerned for [...]

Truly I tell you,

“Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in paradise” -Luke 23:43 As Jesus hung on the cross, He was mocked by the leaders and the soldiers. One of the criminals being crucified with Him added his own measure of scorn. But the other crucified criminal sensed that Jesus was being treated unjustly. [...]

Good Friday Gathering

I can’t believe how many people came out for the Good Friday Gathering. What a blessing! For those of you who missed the experience I will be posting the seven last statements and some of the thoughts we compiled to help us grasp the Salvation that Jesus is offering us.

Why Don’t More People Believe?

Mark 1:1 “The beginning of the good news about Jesus the Messiah” I love how the story of Jesus is called, “Good News.” It sounds like something that you have to say with a smile on your face and an uncontrollable excitement in your gut. Yet, even the most faithful of church attenders don’t seem [...]

Preparing the Easter Sermon

Test Anxiety! Growing up I had to face this issue in school (my earliest memory of it goes back to the second grade). I would get so psyched up that all the multiple choice answers seemed right. Then I had a teacher tell me, “when in doubt, pick C.” That did me in. I have [...]
