The writer of Ecclesiastes [king Solomon?] doesn’t pull any punches. He says the hard honest truth. And he should know. He was the wisest man who lived, save Jesus Christ. Long life, lots of children, hard work and ambition: none of this will bring satisfaction or mean to a person unless God is part of […]
Our own Martin Rossol covered a lot of ground, or maybe provided a 30,000 foot view of “Kingship” in the Bible, mostly focused in the Old Testament, but also the fulfillment of this “office” by Jesus- as prophesied. How and when did the office of “King” originate and how might we think about it today. […]

But St Peter makes it clear that suffering is “part of the deal” when you “sign up” as a Jesus follower. He then points […]
For “Father’s Day” pastor Mike takes us in a direction perhaps you may not have expected. Our Heavenly Father is everywhere so we actually cannot escape his “space”. That being so, we can lose the benefit of this fact if we don’t consciously “live there”.
