Who is this mysterious side of the Trinity and what is His/Her work within us? The Bible calls the Holy Spirit a Comforter, a Counselor and a Guide. Yet there are other places where we see that the Holy Spirit is also a Reminder, an ever-present Voice to our conscience and One who translates our […]

The Lord’s Supper. We call it Communion, but what do we mean? Are we just mimicking what Jesus and the disciples did the night before the crucifixion? Are we just doing it by rote because Jesus commanded us to? Is it just a symbol, or is it more than that? As we proverbially “eat of […]

Every day we face many choices–some we make consciously, and some unconsciously. For all the years of our life, short or long, we make choices. As someone has so well said, “Our choices make us!” Creating choice paths called habits can simplify or complicate our lives. Every choice creates results. What choices are we making? […]

We all come to God in different ways. Some are tied to the church because of a rich love of Scripture and searching out truths that make sense. Others are drawn to God’s beauty and mystery and are quite content that they may never understand even the smallest part of God’s word. Still others join […]

Is choosing a healthy lifestyle just about prolonging my days, […]

A dialogue about the transition of our church ministry focus from pastor/programmatically led to parent/member led. Turning again to Deuteronomy 6 as a foundation for understanding this move, we’ll look at what the future brings. Deuteronomy 6:5-9
