Compassionate Church
What is it like to be poor? Are there any poor in our families, congregation, community? Was Jesus poor? Does one have to be poor to be a faithful Christ-follower? Does poverty have anything to do with redemption? Expect to feel some guilt . . . followed by a profound sense of relief. This teaching will help you the next time you stop and see someone panhandling on the side of the road. Plan to bring some food for the…
Compassionate Enemy
Have you ever been betrayed by a friend? Can you remember what it feels like? What if your “friend” seemed to be cool and compassionate in the eyes of the majority? Our Bible story taken from Luke 22, John 12, and John 13 is about two friends named Jesus and Judas. Were they ever really friends? If so, when did they become enemies? One was a compassionate enemy of evil. The other was a compassionate enemy of a friend. Betrayal…
Revival Prayers
Have you ever eaten cake with the Lord? Do you know where the world’s most significant battle ground is located? What does the Hebrew word “chayah” mean? Find out how you can start a genuine revival. In what way are you like a snow leopard? Did Jesus die during Passover or Easter? How many years has it been since the crucifixion? Pastor John has prepared a “delicious” message for you. Scripture: [reftagger title=”2 Chronicles 7:14“]2 Chronicles 7:14[/reftagger]; [reftagger title=”Matthew 6:6“]Matthew…
Healing Prayers
Scripture: Psalm 30:1-12 Do you spend $25,000 a year for health care? Could healing prayers bring the price down? See if Mary’s miracle baby, John’s dark story, and David’s pop song can convince you? We don’t know if David was young or old, rich or poor, slim or stout, winning or losing when he wrote the ancient lyric found in Psalm 30. We do know that he was depressed, diseased, and almost dead when he prayed a healing prayer. That…
Dehydrated or Drenched
Scripture: Joel 2 What if invaders attacked every beach, forest, tulip field, and town in Skagit county. Squadrons of growlers are unable to stop this enemy which devours everything that is green and beautiful, turning the chewed up real estate into a treeless, hot, parched desert such as California’s Death Valley. Today’s Bible study of Joel 2 describes how an army of arthropods ruin real estate. There is a lot of bad news. But be encouraged. There is also plenty…

You will hear about a boat that was bought two times by the same person. You will hear two stories about two highly trained professionals named Nic.

Redeemed How I Love To Proclaim It
In the natural world we are born to live in order to die. In God’s world we are born to die in order to live. If that sounds like an upside-down existence, you are right. But that is what we celebrate today. Every person who loves and respects God is invited to participate in a most compelling drama called the Eucharist. Our church practices open communion for people of all faiths. This is the day to celebrate death, healing, and…
