Get back to the Basics

Back to the Basics, is an expression that has been used when people get distracted or sidetracked and lose sight of what is really important and foundational. Many people today have lost sight of the basics when it comes to faith and religion. Whole churches and denominations have been caught up in the whirlwind of political correctness, cultural catch phrases and worldly whims and have lost sight of God’s basics. It’s time to get back to the basics of God’s word and to truths that have been accepted and taught by Christians for thousands of years.

The sting of death is swallowed up in Christ

This Easter season, we invite you to ponder the Savior’s atoning sacrifice and glorious Resurrection, which bless all of us. Through our Redeemer, Jesus Christ, we receive this message of hope: “In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world,” John 16:33.

The resurrection of the Lord

Jesus is Risen! Alleluia! Happy Easter! If you read the Gospel of John 20: 1-11, it is clear that Christ is our life. Easter invites us to be a witness of Jesus Christ.

Celebrating the resurrection of Jesus

There is a journey toward the Resurrection of Jesus that each of us take. The last 72 hours of Jesus’ life changed the whole world. His words and actions during that time still shape our culture and the church. At the Valentine Methodist Church, we are taking a moment to recognize the impact of this incredible time as we prepare to celebrate the Resurrection this year.

Rethinking truth this Easter

By the time this message is printed, we’ll be a weekend away from Easter. If you are reading this, I hope you’ll hang with me for a minute. I’d like you to pause for a moment and consider something. When we think about truth, we often see it as a concept or an idea. But what if truth was not just a thing to be understood, and instead was a person to be known?
