In our message we look at how this verse has been misapplied by many and offer some ways to correctly interpret this and other passages of Scripture. We conclude with some legitimate principles we can draw from this verse.

Extra-Ordinary Power of Ordinary Christians

Sadly today, the attention drawn to and calls to emulate 'super-christians" leaves many ordinary believers feeling inadequate and embarrassed by their daily walk with the Lord. The Apostle Paul (a super saint if there is such a thing) reminds the church in Thessaloniki that the life that pleases God consists of ordinary things done in the strength of an extra-ordinary Savior.

Resurrection in the Real World

Some scholars consider John 21 a rather anti-climatic ending to the Gospel, but it is our contention that it provides a model for the way the Risen Lord interacts with us today. As we look at his breakfast on the beach with his disciples, we see that Jesus meets us in the midst of life as we get stuck, struggle or sin and he offers us refreshment, restoration and redirection in our lives.

The Crimson Worm

Our Maundy Thursday meditation looks at the curious worm of Psalm 22. In verse 6, the Messiah cries out "But I am a worm and not a man." This is not a generic statement of humility, but refers to a specific type of worm found in Israel. In looking at this crimson worm, we are given new insights into what Jesus did for us on the cross.
