Prophesy, Signs and Wonders

"Prophesy" has come to mean little more than fortune telling, but the true meaning of prophesy is in God's word delivered to us now. Let's talk a bit about prophesy through the experience of Thibideaux and Boudreaux, two proud Cajun pastors.

Epiphany

Epiphany ends the "12 days of Christmas". The lords have leapt. The maids have milked. The ladies have danced and all the rings have been given. Christmas begins the season of Christmas with a celebration of the birth of Jesus. That's the story in Luke. Epiphany, January 6, ends it with the visit of the wise men in Matthew. That's when the world becomes aware that something astonishing has happened in Bethlehem.

Join us at Bayless Memorial Presbyterian Church in Grayson, Kentucky for a talk about the meaning of an Epiphany.

Clearing the Way

It's the first Sunday in 2009 and every pastor in the land is struck by the same thought -- it's time to clear away the old year, and begin anew. Every pastor in the land will preach on this, and we'd hate to be the odd one out. Here's my list of what didn't work in 2008 -- the things I need to clear out. What's on your list?

Tying Up the Cats

What is the real meaning of worship? How do we understand the rituals used in worship in the Presbyterian Church? What of the Apostle's or Nicene Creed we recite each Sunday? What's that all about?

Join us on The Casting Floor and let's talk about what we are doing when we worship.

Who Do You Think You Are?

Sharpening your internal ears to listen to God's voice isn't easy. It takes some concentration. And the result is almost always the contempt of the rest of the world, usually initiated with the question, "Who do you think YOU are?"

Join us on The Casting Floor and let's talk a bit about the cost of acting on God's word, and finding the courage to get past the attitudes of others.

Can You Hear Me Now?

There has never been a shortage of people anxious to speak in God's behalf. The question is, "How do you discern the authentic prophetic voice?" As many times as we misunderstand each other, think of how difficult God must find it to get through to us. Let's examine what it takes to hear God's voice in the speech of His prophets.
