Reflections Along the Jesus Way
May 6, 2025 - Quote for the Day:
“Some people think God must not exist, or if he does, he doesn’t care because he allows disasters and accidents to happen. But God never told us in the Bible that such things would not happen. In fact, he said they would, to those who are believers as well as those who are not.”

Mothers and Grace
If you’ve ever munched on a bag of cookies you thought you purchased with your own “hard earned” money, only to find out that you were eating someone else’s cookies, you know the answer to the question: What do we have that we did not receive?
Wisdom in the Information Retrieval Age
Where is the wisdom that comes from heaven in this most educated and knowledgeable era in human history? What is that wisdom?
The Great Tribulation – Greg Albrecht
Question:
Can you please tell me who will be going through the tribulation? Is it the unconverted, is it God's people?
I have heard so many things about it and they don't make sense. Some say those a part of their church will be, just before the great tribulation, jetted away to safety on the wings of a great eagle. Some speak of a three and ½ year tribulation just before the Second Coming, others say it will be seven years. Who will have to endure it, and who will be saved from it? Surely the great tribulation is not God’s anger being taken out on those who fail to adhere to certain teachings?
Response:
Thanks for your ...
Reflections Along the Jesus Way
May 3, 2025 - Quote for the Day:
“Penal substitution is a legal term, a forensic model of our relationship to and with God. But the gospel is not about forensic punishment, evening the score or paying our debt. The gospel is about forgiveness, grace, mercy and love, so that God seeks our love, not his satisfaction. God in Christ is not worried about the holiness of his name or reputation – they are set aside on the Cross, when Jesus endured and consumed all hatred, evil and sin forever. How? Not by a legal mechanism, but through the overflowing love of the Father, whom Jesus came to reveal.”

God = Grace, Love and Fellowship – Greg Albrecht
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all (2 Corinthians 13:14).
God is love. That’s the most concise biblical definition given to us. God IS love… which is infinitely beyond love being one of many of his attributes. Love is his essence, his totality and center of his being.
It seems that God as Triune is embedded within this passage in Corinthians. However, while I believe the best biblically-based explanation about God is a Trinitarian definition, I also believe it is “the best possible human explanation.”
Let’s not get too focused on or proud of a ...
Saints and Sinners
Today's sermon assures us from the Bible that Christians are both saints and sinners at the same time and that Jesus does not turn his face from us.

May 1, 2025 - Quote for the Day:
“Our physical world is filled with death and decay. The cycle of life ensures aging and obsolescence. You buy a shiny new car and five years later it looks like it has been through a war. You move into a new house and you try to maintain it, take care of the plants and the lawn, keep the house painted – but sometimes, in spite of your best efforts, given the time you have, the house seems to start falling apart around you. You buy a computer, only to find out a few years later that it is obsolete. Or, you discover that your still ‘new’ computer needs new software – it ...
When Your Religion Fails You
Pastor Greg shows that Christ’s invitation for us to come to him promises rest FROM religion, its legalism, its demands and its failure to give us rest.
Our Debt Forgiven
At dinner in a Pharisee’s house, Jesus forgave a harlot. Her debt was great, yet she was forgiven. You will be forgiven too, if you accept Jesus Christ as your savior, but if you try to do it on your own as the Pharisee did, then your debt remains.

April 29, 2025 - Quote for the Day:
“Legalistic religion can think of no more stinging rebuke than to call someone failing to measure up to its dictates, dogmas and dictums an antinomian (law breaker). When I tell people that by the grace of God I am part of the body of Christ, and that church is what I am rather than a brick-and-mortar building I attend, they ask me, in all sincerity, ‘Well, how are you going to be accountable? Who will discipline you when you need it?’
What they really want to know is who is going to give me my religious report card? They are concerned that if I’m not a member of a religious institu...
Helpless Christians
We can do nothing of eternal significance without the Holy Spirit working through us. The Holy Spirit eternally abides and lives in us — there is a permanence in that relationship.
Holy Help
Jesus promised his disciples the Holy Spirit. That same Holy Spirit is available to Christians today. Be encouraged in today’s sermon that the Holy Spirit is there for you.
Giving Birth – by Greg Albrecht
Friend and Partner Letter - May 2025:
When we ponder the crucifixion of Jesus, we seldom think of his death on his Cross as a symbol of birthing, much like that of a woman in the travail and labor of childbirth. We do speak of Jesus’ work on the Cross – that is, his labor.
Giving birth is not passive – it is active work. Mothers suffer pain, even risking their own lives, to bring forth a new life. Water and blood were part of the work on the Cross, just as they are part of the birth event for a woman who becomes a mother.
The night before he was crucified, five chapters in the Gospel of John (13-17) Jesus eating with his disciples, ...
Reflections Along the Jesus Way
April 26, 2025 - Quote for the Day:
“You may have heard the story about St. Peter giving a tour of heaven. New arrivals boarded a tour bus with St. Peter as their guide. Early in their heavenly tour they drove past a gated community, surrounded by ten-foot-high brick walls covered with ivy. The enclave sported manicured lawns and beautiful hedges and flower gardens leading up to the gate where uniformed personnel ensured no one entered who was not worthy.
One new arrival said, ‘Who lives in there?’ St. Peter lowered his voice and in a pious tone said, ‘Please keep your voices down. The religious folks who live ...
Here’s How You Can Do It
Jesus tells us that apart from him we can do nothing, and the Apostle Paul tells us in Philippians that he can do all things through Christ who strengthened him. Listen to this encouraging sermon.
Reflections Along the Jesus Way
April 24, 2025 - Quote for the Day:
“You know, almost every time that God came to someone in the Bible to tell them he wanted them to fulfill a certain responsibility, he received a similar response. Moses said he wasn’t fit for the job because he had a speech impediment. Jonah of course ran away in the opposite direction. When Peter became more aware that Jesus was God in the flesh, he told Jesus to get away – because Peter knew he was a sinful man.
I absolutely relate to such stories. I know that we humans generally feel fearful and intimidated when God seems to be telling us what he has in store for us and ...
