The Sacrifices of Passover, by Lynn Leiby
In Exodus 12, there is a peculiar phrase that describes the transition from one day to another, and it's translated as "between the evenings". Considerable debate has gone for centuries: is this is the beginning of a day, the twilight period between sunset and dark. Or is this the afternoon ending of the day, between mid afternoon and sunset. Understanding the debate is critical to establish the proper timing of Passover events. Let's study the sacrificial system in detail to see if we can find some other clues to help us in placing the events in proper order.

To the Little Dogs, by Lupe Gonzalez
Matthew 15:21-28, at first reading, the exchange can feel jarring and raises difficult questions about the character of Jesus and the nature of His response. But passages like this invite us not to read quickly or dismissively. Instead, they challenge us to slow down and examine the scene more carefully—its context, its language, and the interaction unfolding between Jesus and the woman.
When we look more closely, we may discover that what appears troubling on the surface is revealing something far deeper about faith, persistence, and the expanding reach of God’s mercy.

Garbage In, Garbage Out, by Roy Jackson
Some activities, otherwise being enjoyable, can destroy us if abused. Other things, as soon as they are practiced
work only to destroy us. We need to beware of the ability of some practices to ruin the quality of our lives, and even destroy us.

Holiness: How to Live and Grow in It, by Dan Apartian
This second sermon on holiness focuses on how we become holy like God. We cannot manufacture our own holiness. It comes only from one source – God, and it comes through his holy spirit. We are both made holy and are to become holy. This is the difference between justification and sanctification. The sermon goes on to review various ways we can act holy – set apart and separated for God’s special purpose and to reflect His holiness.

Steadfastness, by Greg Sanny
Steadfastness is a good quality in many of our typical activities, but we can say we are steadfast toward God but still be wavering if God is not our first priority in devotion.

Loving the So-Called Non-Player Character (NPC), by Kelly Irvin
It's easy to ignore all the faces we see in life, faces that we don't even interact with. It's easy to reject people as enemies, whether they really do bad things or simply because people convince us they are bad. What's not easy is to see all fellow human beings as God sees us. Offered is a simple exercise to help us remember to love our fellow humans the way God loves.

Holiness: What It Is and How to Respond, by Dan Apartian
The first time the word “holy” is used in the Bible was when God appeared to Moses in the burning bush. God had to remind Moses to take his sandals off in the presence of what is holy. Holiness means something being set apart by God for a divine purpose, not a common use. This message discusses various things God has made holy and how we are to respond to them. Take your shoes off!

No Kings, by Greg Sanny
A political movement exists that cries out, "No kings!" Whether or not such a slogan is misdirected, we can look to the Bible and history to distinguish between good and bad leaders, none of them being perfect, unlike the coming King of kings, Jesus Christ!
