"Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, a descendent of David, that is my gospel."
Where do you see generational blessing in your own story?
What is this parable all about? Do the poor go to heaven and the rich go to hell? Or could Jesus be teaching us something entirely different?
Amazing grace. How sweet the sound. The Gospel is tragedy, comedy, and fairy tale.

A Summer in the Psalms: Uprooting Evil (Psalm 52) by Rev. Alex Arthurs
A Summer in the Psalms: Mourning to Dancing (Psalm 30) by Rev. Alex Arthurs
God is our faithful refuge in life and in death.
All of our souls are thirsty for God.
With great power comes great responsibility. What is our responsibility as human beings, made in God's image?
Pastor Alex explains how the Pentecost story reverses the Tower of Babel story.
Jesus' Promise: "Surely, I am coming soon!" The Church's Unceasing Prayer: "Amen! Come Lord Jesus!"
Absence of night and presence of light. That's our future!
Pastor Alex helps us plumb the depths of Revelation 21:5: "See, I am making all things new!"
Jesus is our shepherd, we are his sheep, our job is to abide in his care. Sheep facts + Sheep Worrying Story were originally offered in a sermon by Tim Blackmon of Wheaton College at Pillar Church in Holland, MI. Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Joseph Scriven stories are found in Pete Greig's book: God on Mute.
Worthy is the Lamb! Alleluia! Amen! Why does all of creation proclaim the Lamb's worthiness?
There is no book as cryptic and confusing, nor as audaciously hopeful as the book of Revelation. It is the perfect book for us in the season of Easter or Eastertide. Pastor Alex kicks off this Revelation mini-series looking at Revelation 1:4-8.
Christ is risen! Happy Easter from all of us at Peapack Reformed Church.
