Mark 14: Last Supper to Gethsemane

Application Notes Application As we’ve seen so often in the book of Mark, chapter 14 is another instance where there is simply too much going on to adequately cover it all. Starting out on Wednesday of Holy or Passion week, the chapter follows Jesus as He is anointed by a woman, possibly Mary Magdalene, while […]

Sunday Afternoon Ramblings

Well, I sincerely hope everyone had a great Mother’s Day! What a wonderful Mother’s Day it was at DHWC! Here are a few thoughts for you about our service and such.

Some thoughts on men, women, marriage and divorce

The other day, I read an article entitled “More Wives Should Dump Their Husbands” by Politics Daily (http://www.politicsdaily.com) contributor Delia Lloyd. Lloyd, who has worked as a producer for Chicago Public Radio and is currently a free-lance writer based in London, has been featured in The International Herald Tribune, The Guardian Weekly, and on the […]

Monday Morning Musings (aka Sunday Afternoon Ramblings, Monday Edition)

What an awesome day at DHWC! Here are some thoughts about the thing.

Sermon First Thoughts: Mark 3:13-19

I was thinking about this the other day and realized it’s been a long, long time since I’ve jotted down some initial impressions about a sermon passage. So I wanted to take just a second today and throw something out. It’s technically not a first thought because I just finished the message, and I actually […]

Android App Review: CadreBible a nice Bible resource on the go

So, yesterday I received in the mail a Motorola/Verizon Droid, compliments of Google. Since then, I’ve been putting it through its paces, and I came across something that I thought I would share. On my other Android device (the Google Ion IO 2009 Developer phone) I had an app called CadreBible, which is a very […]

Mark 13: On guard

Application Notes Application The Great Wall of China is one of the great wonders of the world. At more than 5,500 miles long, and some 30 feet wide at its widest point, urban legend has held from at least the early 1700’s that the structure would be the only man-made structure visible from the moon. […]

Sunday Afternoon Ramblings (Tuesday edition)

So, as you’ve probably guessed, I didn’t get to the ramblings Sunday. And yesterday, I ended up at the hospital, so I ran out of time to do them then, too. So here we are, on Tuesday, hoping to catch up! So, sorry I’m running late! Here are some thoughts about Sunday’s service! First off, […]

Mark 12: Left overs

Application Notes Application The Tuesday of Holy Week (i.e., the week leading up to Good Friday and Easter) was a busy one for Jesus. Just two days after his triumphant entry into Jerusalem and one day after he expelled all the merchants and moneychangers from the temple courts, not one of the citizens of Jerusalem […]

Mark 11: Faith and prayer that can move mountains

Application Notes Application Mark 11 marks the beginning of the Passion Week. Starting with Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem on the back of a borrowed donkey’s colt, the chapter records a single scene from Sunday before Jesus retired to Bethany for a good night’s rest. The next morning, as he and his disciples set out […]
