Much is said today about being "comfortable in our own skin," but until we learn to see who we are with [and without] Christ that comfort level can be deceiving. Our joy as the people of God comes from His unconditional love and our obedient walk in His Word!

May 18, 2022 - This week, I had a few reflections from the sermon on Matthew 14:22-33. We typically praise Peter for his faith to walk on the water towards Jesus. However, perhaps we could also see it as an act of mercy from Jesus that despite Peter’s lack of faith, Christ shows His power.

God Speaks: Faith - In His Word, God gives us words of comfort and promise. As we face the storms of this life, may we take refuge in His love and put our faith in His Word.

May 11, 2022 - Matthew 22:37-40 hold the greatest summary of the Law. As we talk about loving God and loving neighbor, we realize how badly we need God to love us and to save us from our sinfulness.

Whenever Jesus performs a miracle, it reveals something of God’s nature: His power, love, intelligence, thoroughness, etc. As we look to one of the most famous miracles, we see that God is giving, that He is powerful, and that He is compassionate. Thanks be to God for His gifts! May we share those gifts with those who are in need.

I was asked to give a Christian perspective on the theories of evolution and the big bang. My thoughts aren’t eloquent or academic. Instead, it’s just some thoughts on the purposefulness behind creation’s design and how it fits into the Word of God.

Psalm 146 gives us a great assessment between what God is capable of and what man is capable of. Spoilers: God is worthy of our trust… man, not so much.

At times, things around us seem to be falling apart, and every "expert" has his/her advice on how to regroup and make sense of life. Today's Scripture Lessons remind us that only God's Word has the power to establish both meaning and peace for us each day, no matter what.

As we look at the Easter story, the Gospel that saves is simple and straightforward. Jesus Christ died for our sins and was raised the 3rd day. That's the core of our faith and the message we hear in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4.

Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia! Throughout the Scriptures, God has spoken His word of love and mercy. On Easter, He shows us both His power and His love. God Speaks Salvation to all who trust in Him.
