Knowing God With Heart and Mind

The Cross Question: Am I Not To Drink The Cup?

It's Palm/Passion Sunday again at Shiloh Church. It marks the beginning of Holy Week, which is a time for remembering everything that happened to our Lord during his last visit to Jerusalem.

The Commitment Question: Will You Lay Down Your Life For Me?

There is a little church on the Appian Way near the city of Rome called “The Church of the Quo Vadis”. Those Latin words, Quo Vadis translate to, “whither goest thou?” The church commemorates the legend of Peter the Apostle, who was escaping Rome, only to encounter Christ heading toward Rome. Peter asked, "Quo Vadis?" Jesus said, "I'm going to be crucified again." After hearing this, Peter turned back. What if Jesus is asking you, "Where are you going?" What would you say to him?

The Wholeness Question: Do You Want To Be Made Well?

We encounter a man this weekend who'd been a victim of circumstances beyond his control. He was crippled for most of his life and, by the time we meet him, he lives hovering just above death. His life is meaningless, repetitive, misery until Jesus approached him and asked, "Wilt thou be made whole?" 

The Grace Question: Are You A Teacher...and Yet Do Not Understand?

What does Jesus mean when he says “you must be born again”? How does that even work? That would change everything about my life. It would be like starting all over again. What if I can’t do it? Am I lost forever? 

”What Are You Looking For?”

What if worshiping and serving in the local church wasn’t about what you want or need from the LORD, but what the LORD wants or needs from you? If you thirst for more and desire a faith beyond the temporal realms of the flesh, “come.” You don’t need or want anything more than this.

Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, the Ends of the Earth

It's Second Mile Sunday at Shiloh Church and we'll be learning about all the good works that glorify the Father in Heaven. We will hear again how going the extra mile for the sake of our Lord takes us into a deeper relationship with Him. The second, third, and fourth mile is where the real discipleship happens. Join us for another morning of worship, prayer, and learning--and, a call to service that glorifies the LORD.

Behold, the Salt of the Earth

What is Church? Is it a denomination? A religion? Is it a place for weddings and funerals, baptisms, confirmations, and sacraments? If it’s the people, then what people? People who “attend”? People who enjoy the company of their classes and groups, music, preaching? What is church about? What’s the point?

Behold, Fishers of Men

There were twelve men and a handful of women who embraced the ministry of the “Lamb of God” even if they did not fully understand it yet. To be fishers of men, an Apostle and the disciples who follow them must embrace the suffering servant ministry of the Lamb. “He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose.” (Jim Elliot 1927-1956)

Behold the Lamb of God!

Worship with the Shiloh family this weekend as we help you fall more deeply in love with Jesus. How can you not love the God who created you, witness your rebellion against Him, then protected and provided for you while you wandered outside His Kingdom? How can you not love the God who offered His only Son to settle your sin-debt with His own life? How can you not love the Son who willingly gave up His glory in Heaven to leave His Kingdom home for love of the Father who wanted so desperately to save you? How can you not love the Son who is the Lamb of God?

Behold My Son

The proliferation of Hallmark-like movies, with predictable plots and consistent themes, especially at Christmastime, is a powerful sign that people are hungry for love. They long for an ideal match and a deep, abiding affection and complete acceptance. The stories usually culminate with a misunderstanding resolved by a revelation of personal sacrifice for the sake of the beloved. One gives up a former life to be with the love of her/his life and then there’s the consummation via a kiss… and the credits roll. Jesus is a real person whose similar story can change your life forever.
