Brutus and Judas

3/24/2024

 Luke 22: 1-6

 

On March 15th, in the year 44 B.C., Julius Caesar spoke to the Senate, although his wife and a soothsayer warned him not to. Soon after taking his seat, he was encircled by a group of assassins who pulled out knives from under their togas and stabbed him 23 times. One of the leaders of the assassins was a friend of Caesar's named Marcus Brutus, which prompted Caesar to say with his dying breath, "You too Brutus?" So, Brutus went down in history as someone who betrayed a friend and stabbed him in the back. Today's message is about another friend who betrayed a friend. Let's see what we can learn from his story.

 

God or Gold?

3/17/2024

Luke 12:13-21

 

The story of King Midas is sad but ends well. As King, he had all the luxuries you would expect a King to have, but he wanted more! So, when he was granted a wish, he wished that everything he touched would turn to gold. Sounds good? Right? Until he hugged his beloved daughter, and she turned into a gold statue. We should learn to be careful about what we wish for, because that "gold" we seek can turn into "fool's gold." We will study such a man this morning.

Vale of Tears

3/10/2024

Isaiah 41:10

 

The expression "vale of tears" is a reference to our life on Earth being akin to a traveler walking through a valley, and the point is, there will be tears and sorrow in our life until we reach the end of the valley, and transition to a better place called heaven, where there will be no more tears. God uses these times of tribulation to sculpt us into the image of Christ.  

 

First Degree Love

 Mark 15: 33-34

 

Robin Williams was an outrageously funny comedian, but while he was making everyone else laugh, he was suffering from severe depression and anxiety. At the age of 63, he took his own life. One person described Mr. Williams as "..the loneliest man on a lonely planet"! Loneliness is one of the most miserable emotions anyone can experience. But today I want us to think about the loneliest moment, that anybody, at any time has ever experienced. The moment the Son of God became sin for us, and God the Father had to temporarily turn His back on God the Son. Let us contemplate what our Savior went through on the cross.
