- Nov 10, 2019Just a Closer Walk with TheeJust a Closer Walk with TheeDeuteronomy 6:4-9Our integrity is put to the test every day, in virtually every situation. We are being watched closely to see how we will respond. The choice of our walk matching our talks our behavior matching our beliefs, our character matching our confession is left to us. What will we do?

- Aug 25, 2019Faith over FearFaith over FearHebrews 11:1-3,27How is your current life situation and current events impacting your faith...or vice-versa? By all means possible we are reminded to persevere like Moses.
- Jun 30, 2019Divine PurposeDivine Purpose2 Corinthians 6:1-13Sometimes our efforts seem to fall upon deaf ears or an unappreciative audience. Paul recognized that no matter how hard he worked for those he led to Christ, not everyone was going to remain faithful. He instructs the church in Corinth to return to their faithful ways and to be more concerned with pleasing God rather than themselves and others.
- Jun 23, 2019The Problem with SufferingThe Problem with SufferingRomans 5:1-5It’s understandable why people question where God is in the midst of suffering…especially when we watch those who cheat to get ahead or seem to lead lives outside of what might be deemed righteous. Paul seek to address this difficult topic in his address to the Romans. But careful reading is required to fully understand how God is at work in the toughest times of our lives.
- Jun 16, 2019You Don’t KnowYou Don’t KnowJohn 16:5-15In a time when more information is available at our fingertips than ever before in history, we can still find ourselves seeking answers that seem to elude us. It feels at times as if we are living in a land of confusion. Jesus asks us to open our eyes to witness what He is doing all around us and to focus our attention on the work of the Holy Spirit.
- Jun 9, 2019Stranger in a Strange LandStranger in a Strange LandJohn 14:8-14Like Abraham, we are sometimes called out of what we know. Even when this means leaving a place that is dangerous or unable to support us, there is still comfort in “knowing” a place or people. How does the Pentecost event help us to access a new paradigm to trust God with all that we are?
- Jun 2, 2019Do You Have the Right Number?Do You Have the Right Number?Genesis 12:1-9Abraham is called the father of nations as well as being the exemplar of faith. While we view his call as nothing more than miraculous, the trust Abraham puts in God is equally extraordinary…at times. At other times, we find that Abraham exhibits some of the same moments of weakness we do. Yet, here we stand as a result of Abraham’s ability to heed the call of God.
- May 26, 2019More than Meets the EyeMore than Meets the Eye2 Corinthians 5:16-21 Does helping hurt? How we define poverty will heavily influence how we respond to and attempt to alleviate that poverty. Jesus’ ministry focuses on reconciliation which means “putting things back into right relationship again.”
- May 19, 2019Tug of WarTug of WarMatthew 6:1-8As children, we are taught to be humble in receiving praise and to use our manners. On the other hand, we are also taught that our actions speak louder than our words. Jesus instructions during the Sermon on the Mount can be confusing regarding our witness and our piety.
- May 12, 2019Don’t Worry, Be HappyDon’t Worry, Be HappyMatthew 6:25-34Spring demands a lot of attention. The end of school, the new garden and the seeming annual wedding season require that our energies be directed in a multitude of ways. Our split attention inevitably causes stress and worry at times. Yet we are called to release our worries and to put our focus on God who prides for our every need. It’s a comforting reminder that we are held in the hands of the creator!
