The little things

Business books today are filled with commentary about the importance little things. As we continue along with the Spiritual Journey with Jesus, we learn what little things matter to Jesus: little acts of kindness to others; little children to be welcomed and taught and finally little sins that greive Jesus.

In the midst of all this talk about the little things, we hear the big message about Jesus though! Based on Mark 9:32-50.

On the Journey with Jesus, Part I

We often begin our Spiritual journey with the question: "Who am I?" Jesus begins his disciple's journey with a different question: "Who is Jesus?" Once we have this question answered, then our spiritual journey begins...but still, where are we going on this journey? Tune in to find out...Based on the later part of Mark 8 and the beginning of Mark 9.

Mirrors and Basins

James warns that those who hear but do not do the Word are like people looking in the mirror (James 1:17-27). We live in a mirror culture -- how many mirrors are in your own house?! All too often in our culture we spend too much time looking at ourselves in the mirror...often instead of looking to our neighbor. Jesus though offers us another tool to think about our discipleship -- the basin (John 13).
