Tune my Heart to sing Thy Grace

Come, thou Fount of every blessing, tune my heart to sing thy grace; streams of mercy, never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise. Come Thou Fount has been one of my favorite hymns. Part of this was because in an organ-only worship environment, it was one of the only songs that had a rhythm […]

EPHESIANS 1.7-10 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so […]

We Need More than Compassion

For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die—but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5.6-8 Compassion […]

Finding the Treasure in the Field

“Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways! For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor? Or who has given a gift to him that he might be repaid? For from him and through […]

MATTHEW 13.53-58 And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, ‘A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his own household. And he did not do many mighty works there, because of their unbelief. (V.57-58) For most of his life, Jesus worked and lived in Nazareth. Throughout His ministry, Jesus made […]

The Place Where There Will be Weeping and Gnashing of Teeth

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind. When it was full, men drew it ashore and sat down and sorted the good into containers but threw away the bad. So it will be at the end of the age. The angels […]
