Good Morning Friends Restoration is never small in Jesus’ hands. He turns failure into calling, emptiness into abundance, and weary disciples into Spirit‑filled witnesses. Today we watch Him meet His followers at the water’s edge—twice—and teach them what it means to be caught, filled, and sent. Are you ready to catch the Spirit? Scripture (Summary) … Continue reading Are you Ready To Catch The Spirit?

Jesus Appears With Love To His Disciples, Has He Appeared To You?
Good Morning Friends, Discouragement can make us withdraw from fellowship and rehearse old wounds. When Jesus feels absent, we’re tempted to live in the past or doubt God’s care. But the risen Christ meets discouraged disciples with love, not condemnation. Every Emmaus road can become a road back to hope. Jesus appears with love to His … Continue reading Jesus Appears With Love To His Disciples, Has He Appeared To You?
Has Your Experience Of Holy Week Prepared You For A Joyful Relationship With The Risen Christ?
Good Morning Friends, Holy Week has carried us through triumph and tragedy—Palm Sunday, betrayal, denial, crucifixion, resurrection—and now toward Pentecost and the gift of the Spirit. These events are not distant history; they expose our own hearts. Like Peter, we deny Jesus. Like John, we love. And like the crowds and rulers, we often shift … Continue reading Has Your Experience Of Holy Week Prepared You For A Joyful Relationship With The Risen Christ?
Do You Have A Personal Story Of Resurrection This Eastertide—Evidence Of Christ’s Life In You?
Good Morning Friends, Today we have a joyous Eastertide devotional about living stones and living stories. Six months ago a friend of mine was praying for Moorings Presbyterian Church. He knew its history and a time when it was filled beyond capacity and I am sure he would have been pleased at seeing the children's chat, … Continue reading Do You Have A Personal Story Of Resurrection This Eastertide—Evidence Of Christ’s Life In You?
Will We Embrace Christ’s Cross as Our Cross?
Good Morning Friends, Last night’s Maundy (Commandment) Thursday service invited us into the final hours of Jesus’ earthly mission. Through a shared meal, new music, scripture, confession linked to the cross and communion, we were drawn into the Passover story and Christ death for us. Even the rain with a rainbow as we arrived seemed … Continue reading Will We Embrace Christ’s Cross as Our Cross?
Are We Willing To Both Serve And Be Served For God’s Glory?
Good Morning Friends, From time to time, many of us have served a meal to those with less privilege—only to discover that receiving service from them can feel harder than giving it. In today’s text, Jesus meets this same tension in the Upper Room. At the Passover meal, He kneels to wash His disciples’ feet, … Continue reading Are We Willing To Both Serve And Be Served For God’s Glory?
Have You Ever Experienced A Spiritual Crisis Becoming A Calling?
Good Morning Friends, Many fears throughout history have faded on their own or proved far less catastrophic than expected—like the Y2K panic, early worries that television or telephones would ruin social life and literacy, the 1890s horse‑manure crisis that vanished with the arrival of cars, concerns about “superweeds” from genetic engineering, anxiety over email overload, … Continue reading Have You Ever Experienced A Spiritual Crisis Becoming A Calling?
How would we have held up in the seven days before Jesus’ death?
Good morning, friends, Today’s readings reveal the willful blindness of unbelief and the steady faithfulness of God’s servants. Jeremiah suffers for speaking God’s truth, yet he continues to proclaim God’s word. His lament echoes Jesus’ own experience in the days leading to the cross—mocked, opposed, and rejected by religious leaders. Both Jeremiah and Jesus show … Continue reading How would we have held up in the seven days before Jesus’ death?
Do You Believe Jesus Is The Covenant Of Love He Claimed To Be For The Church?
Good Morning Friends, Today I would like to explore something many believers feel but rarely articulate: the tension between the ancient, unchanging covenant of God and the cultural layers that have grown around the church like ivy on an old cathedral. Some of that ivy is beautiful. Some of it obscures the stonework. And some … Continue reading Do You Believe Jesus Is The Covenant Of Love He Claimed To Be For The Church?
If We Really Believe All This About God, Then What Do We Do?
Good Morning Friends, Today we stand with Mary at the beginning of something new. The annunciation is not only a Catholic feast—it is a reminder to all Christians that the incarnation changed the universe. Christ’s coming brings both disruption and hope. Stability for some, upheaval for others, but always the promise that God is with … Continue reading If We Really Believe All This About God, Then What Do We Do?
