BLESSing the Teens in Your Life by Rob Haynes

Rob Haynes June 14, 2023

Early on in my walk with Jesus, I felt a strong call to minister to youth and young adults. I earned a degree in education, in part, to be the best Bible Study teacher that I could be. I crafted lessons with textbook precision. However, the professors at the university did not fully prepare me for the complexities of the

Bearing Fruit by Kim Reisman

Kim Reisman May 25, 2023

Scripture focus: Oh the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with scoffers. But they delight in doing everything the Lord wants, day and night they think about his law. They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season without fail. Their leaves never

Questions and Doubts Can be Keys to Evangelism by Rob Haynes

Rob Haynes May 10, 2023

When I talk to some Christians about sharing their faith with others, they seem scared or even threatened. Often their concern is that someone may resist their efforts at evangelism and ask them questions they cannot immediately answer. However, in Scripture we see that God is not afraid of peoples’ doubts. The account of the Resurrected Jesus’ interaction with Thomas

Praying From The Heart by Kim Reisman

Kim Reisman May 3, 2023

Scripture focus: And so they reached Jericho. Later, as Jesus and his disciples left town, a great crowd was following. A blind beggar named Bartimaeus (son of Timaeus) was sitting beside the road as Jesus was going by. When Bartimaeus heard that Jesus from Nazareth was nearby, he began to shout out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

Why Share Your Faith by Rob Haynes

Rob Haynes April 13, 2023

Why share your faith? The Father uses your fallout Evangelism has gotten a bad name over the last few years. For more reasons than we have time to go into in this article, “The ‘E’ Word” is a problem for many people in some parts of the world. Recent polls show that younger generations of Christians in many parts of

Creating The Yet To Be by Kim Reisman

Kim Reisman March 31, 2023

Scripture focus: You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, because the work of the Son brings glory to the Father. Yes, ask anything in my name, and I will do it! (John 14:13-14, NLT) Very soon we will be celebrating the resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth, by God through the power of the

Beauty and Brokenness by Kim Reisman

Kim Reisman March 8, 2023

My mother and sister are artists. I am not. I have other gifts (lest anyone worry about my self-esteem), but art isn’t one of them. That’s why I love spending time with my mother and sister. There is something entirely different and inspiring about the creativity God has given them. Years ago, my sister spent a week with me while

Trusting Our Instincts by Kim Reisman

Kim Reisman February 23, 2023

Scripture focus: When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” “Well,” they replied, “some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah, and others say Jeremiah or one of the other prophets. ”Then he asked them, “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You

Celtic Christianity And The Coloring Craze by Tammie Grimm

Tammie Grimm January 30, 2017

Chances are, you or someone you know gave or received a coloring book for adults in the last year. With titles as catchy as “Color Me Stress Free” or “The Art of Relaxation,” the coloring craze has swept the nation. Whether the book contains images of floral gardens, mandalas or other graphic patterns, the idea behind coloring therapy is to

Is Sin Necessary To Know Jesus? Why It Matters by Elizabeth Glass Turner

elizabeth.turner January 26, 2017

“Jesus has a body but the Father and Spirit do not. Discuss.” One of my acquaintances posted this on social networking recently, provoking a number of responses. One person wondered if Christ had always had physical form. The discussion spun and doubled back, spiraled and swung. And, as it happens, it matters. Frequently theology – especially Trinitarian theology – is

Suicide And The Enemy Of Our Souls by Carolyn Moore

Carolyn Moore January 25, 2017

Yet another acquaintance lost his life to depression over the holidays. Such loss leaves everyone devastated on multiple levels. When devastations like suicide drop into our lives, we’re left with far more questions than answers, not to mention the guilt and so often, such a sense of powerlessness. Stretching to make sense of a tragic event, we tend to grab

Spirit Nudges: Winston Worrell’s Life of Listening by Kim Reisman

World Methodist Evangelism January 18, 2017

God’s preferred method of interacting with us is to use particular people at particular times, usually to deliver a particular message.

Visible Tokens: Communion through a Chain Link Fence by Kim Reisman

Kim Reisman January 16, 2017

Every month, on the day the gate opens, the Methodist Church is present – on both sides of the wall. There is conversation. There is prayer.

And there is Holy Communion.

Be Careful Little Tongue What You Say by Andy Stoddard

Andy Stoddard January 15, 2017

We had a funny moment here in our house the other night. My oldest was filling out a form to take the ACT in the coming weeks. She’s only in the 7th grade, but I like that they start taking it early. She was filling out the form and she called me into the living room. When I got there, she

Kodak, Hirsch, and the Future of the Church by James Petticrew

James Petticrew January 11, 2017

I doubt there is a more used and less understood word in the contemporary church than “missional.” Missional is not about being better at being Kodak in a digital photograph world.

Everything That Is Hurt: St Symeon by Kim Reisman

Kim Reisman January 11, 2017

And everything that is hurt, everything
That seemed to us dark, harsh, shameful,
Maimed, ugly, irreparably damaged
Is in Him transformed.

Unknown Gods by Kim Reisman

Kim Reisman January 9, 2017

The question remains. Do we really know the High God? How would our lives change if we really understood the fact that the God made real in Jesus Christ – the God of the world – loves each tribe and nation equally? How would that understanding change how we looked at other tribes and clans – even in our own

How To Pray When Your Prayer Life Is On The Rocks by Carolyn Moore

Carolyn Moore January 9, 2017

J. C. Albert has to be one of the greatest followers of Jesus I’ve ever met. I met him in India in 2012. He was the most open, loving, friendly guy and he had these wonderful stories to tell of adventures with Jesus. He has visited and shared the good news of Jesus Christ in nearly 3,000 tribal villages in
