For those of us who are quite often tempted to give up on God

It’s rough out there. And Jesus knew it would be. Look what happened to him and he was the only truly good and faithful person.

_

Jesus said,  “Don’t lose heart when you pray.”

Being Grateful in an Ungrateful World

Luke 17.

_

You know, where Jesus heals the 10 lepers…and only 1 returns to thank him.

_

Pastor Mark unpacks these verses and gives us (surprise…the law…and the gospel) what we need to realize our great need…and then hands over to us, the One who fulfills that need for us.

We’ve probably all done it. But Jesus has us figured out. He’s knows what our game is and won’t play it.

“The Doctrine of God” – class #1 in the 10 part Fall teaching series

Here’s class #1 of Pastor Mark’s 10 part series (outlined a couple of posts back) :

_

 class #1 – ‘The Doctrine of God’

_

Share it with someone whom you think might be the least likely to be interested. Why? Because I think God enjoys the ‘hard cases’.  Look at St. Paul.  Or…better yet, look at yourself!

Making a dishonest person an example to follow in your Christian life

That just doesn’t sound right. But when you think about it a little differently, what Jesus says rings true…and stings us and may just wake us up a bit, by God’s grace.
