The Power of Questions

questions

Most of us don’t ask enough questions of our loved ones. The reasons are many; for some, it’s awkward, you don’t want to stir up any issues, and it keeps us in the safe harbor of see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil. We’ve embraced the political statement, “Don’t ask, don’t tell.”  Some people are apathetic and don’t care enough to ask questions. Others are selfish and never think to ask others questions, and they only talk about themselves. Some are fearful that they’ll be perceived as rude. Social media has also influenced our lack of questioning. […]

Corporate Prayer: Worth The Investment

For a few hours every year, the daily work of OneHope’s ministry comes to an abrupt halt. An intentional pause and recalibration. The OneHope team participates in corporate times of prayer. Although these gatherings cost thousands of dollars in manpower, they are undoubtedly worth the return on investment.  We meet to publicly glorify God and acknowledge His Lordship. This cultivates humility in our hearts and redirects us back to the Lord we serve and the mission He has given us.  The OneHope team works across many time zones and in an array of different ministry contexts. Prayer unifies us. We […]

Crumbs

crumbs

There is a saying we have all heard: “Is the glass half full or half empty?” The beauty of that saying is that it hinges on perspective. The essence of the word picture is that a glass, filled halfway with water, can be perceived as almost full or almost empty. There are times in my life that I see things from both perspectives. Half empty triggers in me a sense of scarcity, implying that things will get progressively more challenging with less available resources. Half full triggers a sense of abundance, implying that things will get progressively better because resources […]

UNDIVIDED

In the final months of 2020, Church United held a region-wide sermon series on the topic of unity. In an effort to bring churches together, a few worship leaders from different churches gathered together to write an anthem to go along with the sermon series. The resulting song, Undivided, would soon be sung in several churches all over south Florida in the coming weeks. Tim Ehrhart, who produced the track, was also one of the worship leaders at the co-write organized by Village Hymns. He described his experience: “Here were other people with different church names, different talents, different stories […]

The Gospel “Newness” In A New Command

This month, I wanted to build upon the last week of our Lord’s ministry on earth with the following special apologetic message. I pray you will be blessed and built up in your faith if you are already a Christian, and if you are not, that God would use these words to cause you to believe and become part of His family of faith. On the eve of the crucifixion of our Lord Jesus Christ, while sharing His last Passover with His disciples, Jesus gives “A New Command” –  “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I […]

Who Do We Seek For Justice?

“I believe in America.” These words begin a 175-minute saga that is considered one of the greatest movies ever produced. Amerigo Bonasera was a Sicilian-American and the proprietor of a funeral home in Little Italy besides being an acquaintance of Vito Corleone, whose wife Carmela was the godmother of Amerigo’s only child, Maria. Despite this bond, the mortician decided to keep some distance from the Godfather for fear that a Mafia connection would be detrimental to his business. Things suddenly changed when Maria was brutally assaulted and nearly raped by two young men. They were subsequently released on a suspended […]

Unity: A Death and Resurrection

Edwin Copeland

Unity is a popular word these days — and why wouldn’t it be? In a world dominated by vaccine conspiracies, feuds over masks, political division, racial unrest and economic uncertainty, the call to unity seems refreshing and warranted. In the last few weeks alone, several Christian and non-Christian books on the topic of unity have debuted with much fanfare, many calling for unity as “a way forward” to a more hopeful future of the Church and society. Yet I believe a critical reality to unity is missing: death.   Death Unity requires death. Unity without death is a cheap facade […]

The Significance of Passover and the Passover Meal (Seder) for Believers Today

passover

What we refer to as “The Last Supper” – which is commemorated every time we take communion – was in reality a Passover Seder, a meal that Yeshua (Jesus) and his disciples would have celebrated their entire lives. However, it was at that particular Seder that Yeshua chose to give the REAL significance to this meal and holiday. The holiday of Passover (really three feasts in one — The Feast of Passover, The Feast of Unleavened Bread, and the Feast of Firstfruits) had been created and observed as a commemoration of God’s miraculous deliverance of the Jewish people from the […]
