Sunday Message Series
by Puyallup Nazarene Church
Expectancy. I like the word. It feels hopeful. It’s filled with anticipation, the kind of mental alertness that causes a person to lean forward, eyes wide open with heart pumping desire. To me it rightly expresses what happens to us when we become aware of God’s love for us. God is a good Father who loves to give himself away to us. His truth liberates us. His strength empowers us. His call upon our lives gives us purpose. There is something about his goodness that is beyond our imaginat

Broaden Your Horizons

Redirect Your Appetites

-
Easter Sunday
“God raised Jesus from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him.”* Impossible! The resurrection of Jesus is the act that frees us from all that would discourage, diminish or destroy God’s glorious purpose for our lives. (*Acts 2.24)

Faith and Reality
Jesus said to his disciples in his final teaching prior to his death on the cross: “I am the way, the truth and the life.” He might have as well said, “I am reality. I am what is real, true and authentic. When you embrace me—my words and my works—it’s as real as it gets. No illusion here.” When…
