  • The Lamb of God and Disordered Desires - Rev. David Pileggi
    Jan 25 2026
    In the first chapter of John we encounter three questions: Who is Jesus? What do you want? Where are you staying? These questions are just as relevant today as they were two thousand years ago, challenging us to set our desires in order and to abide with Jesus, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.

  • Fulfilling All Righteousness | Rev. David Pileggi
    Jan 14 2026
    Jesus’ baptism by John in the Jordan River is commonly thought to be the same rite that is practiced by Christians today. But there are significant differences and much for Christians today to consider carefully in that account – especially John’s call to repentance, hearing the voice of God, and the need to "fulfill all righteousness.” When understood in the context of Matthew’s Gospel, this phrase helps us focus on what is important and not end up majoring on minors.

  • A Journey of Revelation on an Ancient Highway |Michael N.
    Jan 6 2026
    The Season of Epiphany or of the Revelation of the Messiah begins with the Journey of the Magi, priests of the Zoroastrian faith from the Medo-Persian empire, who set out on a journey to find the promised Messiah, the King of the Jews. In this message Michael N. takes us on a journey through history, geography and the prophets, to a promised prophetic highway that will be a blessing on the Earth (Isaiah 19). It’s fulfillment is part of the good news of the Kingdom that brings Jews and Gentiles together in Messiah that has implications on how we live our lives in this present evil age as we long for HIs appearing.

  • Paranoia Strikes Deep - Rev. David Pileggi
    Jan 1 2026
    This line from a popular Buffalo Springfield song sums up well the life of King Herod the Great. His insecurity and fear drove him to rule with a cruel hand, killing members of his own family and slaughtering the innocents in Bethlehem. This is not just First Century history; it is also a tale of our times. The worrisome rise of uncertainty and paranoia is causing many to look for scapegoats (anti-Semitism) and to demand an immediate fix for our problems. But it's the expanding rule and reign of King Jesus that is the best response to such recklessness, which, if left unchecked, will bring disaster upon us all.

  • Questions and Confusion of the Faithful - Rev. John Arnold
    Dec 19 2025
    John the Baptist grew up hearing the promises of the Messiah foretold through the prophets. He also would have heard of his own miraculous birth—and that of Jesus. The prophecies regarding John were not all ancient, his parents knew prophecies and prophesied. John was also a prophet who bore witness to the Messiah and prepared the way for Him in the wilderness. But in a time of trial, faithful John was still confused and questioning what he knew to be true—not because he wasn’t faithful but because trials can be very difficult to go through. James tells us that we are to be patient in times of trials until the coming of the Lord. But God will come and judge. So we must prepare ourselves for His coming.

  • Preparing for the Unpredictable - Rev. David Pileggi
    Dec 3 2025
    Jesus teaches us to watch and prepare for His return. Yet that teaching is relevant for more than just the Last Days. It prepares us for the unexpected and helps us remain faithful in the face of disappointment, misfortune, or disaster. And it enables us not to miss the day of God's visitation.
