The Gathering Storm

Posted on 9th January 201710th November 2017 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

Introduction While Jesus was indeed gentle and kind, He also took a bold stand against sin. In fact, when confronting evil dressed in the garb of religion, His formidable anger took many by surprise. He sharply rebuked the religious leaders in Israel for turning their privileged status into an opportunity to gain wealth and power. […]

Nostalgia

Posted on 9th January 201729th July 2019 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

Occasionally, I will hear an old song that resurrects memories in the tender spots of my soul. People and places step out of the shadows and visit with me for a brief moment or two. Does that happen to you, too? If so, you understand what’s hard to put into words. Suddenly, without announcement, nostalgia […]

Listening to Jesus Beside the Sea

Posted on 9th January 201729th July 2019 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

Introduction We can learn a lot about our relationship with God by studying the life of Peter. His journey with Jesus is a study in contradictions. In the midst of a raging storm, he impulsively climbed out of his boat at the invitation of Jesus to walk on water, only to divert his attention and […]

Jesus Has a Question For You

Posted on 9th January 201730th July 2019 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

At the zenith of His career, Jesus pulled away to the secluded area of Caesarea Philippi. On His mind was a crucial question for His disciples—and for us as well. Travel back with me to the scene as it unfolds. The surroundings are impressive. Flowing springs. Lush gardens. Monuments and temples dedicated to the worship […]

An Invitation to Touch the Skin of Infinite God

Posted on 9th January 201730th July 2019 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

Childbirth is something no man can completely appreciate. We can marvel as an observer—a helpless one at that—but we cannot experience it as a woman would. My wife tells me, “I cannot completely describe the feeling that came over me as the doctor held up Curt, cut the cord, and then laid him right across […]

Just Do It

Posted on 9th January 201729th July 2019 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

Have you noticed that many of our churches have turned into extended Bible conferences, places where we love to sit and soak in the Word like sponges instead of being challenged and given opportunities to launch ourselves out into the world? Don’t get me wrong, the church is the right place to learn how to […]

Jesus and Women

Posted on 9th January 201729th July 2019 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

When we think of the ministry of Jesus, we immediately recall the “big” moments. His baptism. The Sermon on the Mount. His transfiguration. The miracles He performed. And, of course, His death and resurrection. But Jesus’s ministry was to people. His miracles and messages were for individuals who needed a Saviour . . . not […]

Deepwater Faith

Posted on 9th January 201710th November 2017 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

A funny thing happened in Darlington, Maryland, several years ago. Edith, a mother of eight, was coming home from a neighbour’s house one Saturday afternoon. Things seemed too quiet as she walked across her front garden. Curious, she peered through the door and saw five of her youngest children huddled together, concentrating on something. As […]

Unearthing Our Walk with Christ

Posted on 9th January 201710th November 2017 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

On more than one occasion recently I’ve found myself pondering the words of Socrates: “The unexamined life is not worth living.” That statement rings true because things tend to get complicated over time. We begin our Christian life with utter delight and simplicity. But as tradition, religion, others’ expectations, and too many activities begin to […]

Laugh It Off

Posted on 9th January 201710th November 2017 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

Let’s have some fun. It’s overdue. Life’s been getting a little tight; it’s much too serious lately. With more deadlines, too many meetings (all of them too long!), not enough relaxation, more e-mails than I can handle, and the feeling that I gotta do more to keep all those weak marriages together, it’s enough to […]
