Siegfried S. Johnson

... the resurrection of Christ from the dead. I am proud to be a member Christ's Church." But too often we trim and abbreviate our testimony, scissoring away the vital details, reducing our testimony to initials or nicknames. As a result, our Christian witness is a timid "Guess Who I Am?"

Sermon

King Duncan

... , “He’s gonna be a politician!” (4) The crowds of people that day were waiting and watching to see if Jesus would be a politician—if he would shape his message to please his listeners. Would he please the Pharisees, the Sadducees, the Essenes or the Zealots? My guess is that he shocked them all.

He was living proof of all he had been telling them all along. He was living proof greater than doubt. I guess all of us have some doubts sometimes.
