- Dec 22, 2019Christmas is about TransformationChristmas is about TransformationRomans 16: 25-27It has been said that we are incapable of love if we haven’t first loved ourselves, or if we have never experienced acts of love and kindness ourselves. Many have turned to destructive means in order to feel a sense of worth. But as Christians, we celebrate what it means to be loved in the most extreme ways possible, and are invited to share that with others!
- Dec 15, 2019Christmas is about RedemptionChristmas is about Redemption1 Thessalonians 5:16-24As a child, I remember trying my very best to be good, use my manners, and be grateful for what I had…in order ultimately to get more on Christmas morning! But at Christmas, we remember that it is the coming of the Messiah that, due to no action on our part, that defines this season. Our response then is what we do with that.
- Dec 8, 2019Christmas is about A Wonderful LifeChristmas is about A Wonderful LifeMalachi 3:1-4Have you ever wished and prepared for something to happen only to be so preoccupied with other things that you missed the event altogether? It appears that for many, the vision of what God would do in the future was lost on people who became so focused on the things around them, they failed to pay attention to the work God was doing among them.

- Nov 24, 2019The Supremacy of the KingThe Supremacy of the KingColossians 1:15-20It never hurts to examine those whom we follow. While we might never fully “measure up” in the eyes of everyone, we know we follow the One who is completely worthy of our worship and praise. Christ the King Sunday recognizes the full sovereignty of Jesus, and refocuses our admiration and awe!
- Nov 17, 2019The Example of the KingThe Example of the King2 Thessalonians 3:6-13Regardless of the circumstances we find ourselves in, perseverance is an attribute that accompanies our faith and discipleship. We see that exemplified in the life of Jesus, and the apostles who followed him. Likewise, we are to be models of such faith in all areas of our lives.
- 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?
- Nov 3, 2019The Love of the KingThe Love of the KingJohn 11:32-44We celebrate the example and influence of those that have gone to glory ahead of us. We acknowledge our sense of loss, and the spaces in our lives left by those we loved so dearly. Yet, in faith, we affirm and understand that death is not the end of the story…rather the beginning of the best part!

- Oct 20, 2019Constant ExperimentationConstant ExperimentationMark 6:6-13A pillar of our faith is our service to one another and the world. Education, healthcare, and even many of the extracurricular activities many of us participated in were ways in which we were being taught to serve with one another for one another. How are we growing in that today?
- Oct 13, 2019Persistent EncouragementPersistent EncouragementMatthew 17:1-9Without guidance and direction, we run the risk of simply wandering around aimlessly – or worst yet, that we might become lost. The spiritual discipline of prayer focuses us on God and the things of God, while worship allows us the opportunity to be transformed in body of believers for the work God intends for our lives.
