  • Worthy Is Your Name
    I wonder if most of us in the contemporary church have misunderstood the third of the Ten Commandments. I think I have for many years.  Exodus 20:7 commands, You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain. Listen and learn more.

  • In The Beginning
    The first name that God uses to introduce Himself is found in the very first verse of the Bible, “In the beginning Elohim.”  Elohim is basically the signature name of God.  This name is used about 2750 times in the Old Testament to refer to God.  
    The root of Elohim, el, is borrowed in the Hebrew language from the Canaanites.  It means strong, to be in the front, to dominate. El is the same root from which the name Allah derives. Elohim is supreme, He is the mighty One.

  • What's In A Name

    In our modern culture names are often chosen for a child on a whim or a because of a trend. A few years ago I read an article about a mother who gave her son the name Messiah. (Now that’s a loaded name!) Do you know why she picked that name? Not because of its significance, not because of what it means, but she said she chose that name because it sounds good with the names of her other children, Micah and Mason!

    Names in the ancient Hebrew world were not trendy; they carried great significance. They were given not on a whim, or because they sounded good, but because of their meaning. Names in the Bible reveal the essence of the person, their character, their nature, and sometimes, their destiny. Abram means exalted father. As Abram walked with God and believed His promises, his whole destiny changed and God renamed him Abraham, which means father of many nations because that was his destiny.

  • Good News!
    What in the world is going on? No wonder many of us are unsettled and fearful of the future.  No wonder we are asking what the Bible has to say about this confluence of events.  No wonder the main question I hear is, “Do you think we are approaching the end of this age and the Lord’s return?”  Are we there yet?

  • Shalom and Panic
    Panic is sudden and uncontrollable. It is fear. It is anxiety today our world is in a state of panic. We find in God's word the answer to panic. It is 'Shalom'. Shalom has many meanings. A few other meanings are wholeness, completeness, contentment, sound health, safety, and prosperity. Shalom is the whole package. The Lord doesn't want you to be 'wigged out' by the latest news update. I hope you'll take time to listen.

  • Creation Podcast Two • Our Creator
    God created the heaves and the earth. The fact that God is our creator is a big deal. The Bible doesn’t hide this in code and tuck it away it in some obscure verses. The Bible doesn’t make this hard for us to figure out. It clearly states from Genesis to Revelation that God is the creator God.

  • Creation Podcast One • Creation and Culture
    The Lord has such a different world view for us! He spells out clearly that He is our Creator God. He lays this out for us in the very first verse of the first book of the Bible. Genesis 1:1. “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”

  • Advent Series • Christ Candle
    The Christ candle is placed in the center of the four candles that we’ve lit the past four Sundays of Advent. Christ is why we have hope, peace, joy and love in our hearts. Without Him, we would literally be lost. He brings meaning to our world. He is the light of the world.
