We’re pretty accustomed to the list of “To Don’ts.” We know we’re not supposed to murder, covet, steal or lie. We know well all the things we’re not supposed to do. But what if it’s not about the things we aren’t supposed to do and the one thing we are? What if, following God is […]

We all long for and desire mountaintop experiences. We want so deeply to be able to stand on the mountain with Abraham. We want to get our name written down among those in the Bible who have had great faith. But, so often, we want the mountaintop experience without being faithful in the valley. We […]

Joshua had gotten himself into a heap of trouble. Without seeking the Lord, they made an alliance with Gibeon. And that turned out bad for Israel. Have you ever gotten yourself into a situation, but you needed God’s help to get you out of it? We all have. We have all done things that we […]

This Sunday was a little different. Instead of having a typical Sunday with worship and a sermon, we stopped for a moment to hear from each ministry and what they’ve got coming up in the fall. Then we spent some time praying for each ministry. At the end of the service we celebrated two baptisms […]

Throughout the Bible we hear a lot about light, especially in the New Testament. When Jesus comes, He is often described as the Light, the Light of the world. As His followers the light gets passed on to us and now we are the light of the world. However, I don’t know that we ever […]

This is the final sermon in our series, “Wake Up!” and in it we talk about the greatest of endings. “Hope is a good thing. Maybe the best thing.” And this morning we talk about just that, Hope. We have such a great hope that lies out in front of us. And about ability to […]

For God so loved… Love has been altered in society. It now refers either to romantic love or is used as a common place term for anything. What we are finding is there is a lot of love missing. Or, as many of us have found, the idea of love has been turned into a […]

As we continue on in our “Wake Up!” series, we get to a very important topic…ONIONS! Okay, it might not be all that important, but what they represent in us is very important. As we talk today about worship, we talk about some of the things that keep us from true, authentic worship. And as […]
