As we conclude Mark's gospel, we see Jesus, a man of action continue to carry out his work of growing God's kingdom through the preaching of the good news. Despite the times, there's good news for all to hear, believe and share.
Even though Jesus isn’t with us physically any more, we have access to him through his name. There is no name like his, for there is power in the name of Jesus. In today’s passage Peter and John heal a crippled beggar in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
What do you think of when you hear the word, encourage? Who has been an encouragement to you in your life? In this passage, Paul demonstrates how he imparted courage to the early church and how we can be an encouragement to those around us. I pray that we may be mutually encouraged through this passage.
The church was starting to make a big impact in the city of Ephesus, but just then there arose a great disturbance about the Christians. A great mob formed and rioting and chaos ensued. We lose self control because we are under the power of sin and Satan. Only God can quiet the disturbance. The world may try to overthrow God, but God overrules the world. In Christ disturbances may come, but in Christ sin is overcome.
The church is a people belonging to God. God has called his people out of the darkness, he has reconciled us to himself, and enables us to love one another through fellowship and forgiveness. The practices of God's people are a devotion to the apostle's teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
In 2009, I lost my job because of the economy. It was one of the worst days of my life, but two years later God made it one of the best of my life.
The turkey has been roasted and leftovers fill our fridges. Thanksgiving is gone and the time of Advent is here. Advent is all about the anticipation of the arrival of the baby Jesus and starts on December 1.
It is November and Thanksgiving is approaching. Please join us for our special Thanksgiving worship service on November 24 in the Carr Chapel.
Spring is just arriving and that means that Easter will soon be here. On April 5-7, we will be having our Easter Retreat with the title of Living Hope.
Since 2007, we have been serving Illinois Tech and the surrounding community with the word of God through Bible study and worship service. We are a church composed of alum and current students, who wish to see the love and grace of Jesus shared with others.
