As we begin this advent season we remember that as they were once watchful for a baby, we are also now anticipating Christ's return.  Though things may get worse before it gets better, Pastor Taylor reminds us of the hope that it will get better.  That is the promise of the gospel.

On this, the last day of the Christian year, we are reminded of what Jesus has called us to do.

A man was given a sum of money.   Scared of losing the money when his boss asked for it back, he went and hid it in a hole.  Upon return the exact amount of money to his boss, his boss became angry that the man had done nothing with what he was given other than hide it away.  The man was unwilling to take a risk.  How about you?  What would you have done?

Rev. John Rice shares a unique perspective on prayer and how we can use prayers of blessing to share God's love with all around us.

On this All Saint's Sunday, we take time to look at the vision of heaven that John had.  What a glorious day we have to look forward to when the last of our tears will be wiped away.

Scripture is often complicated with nuances and layers, but today that is not so.  In this verse Jesus speaks plainly and clearly yet we still find a way to make this concept very complicated.

The Pharisees tried to trap Jesus when they asked what they should do with the coins that had Caesar's face on them.  Jesus' answer teaches us more than just if we should pay taxes or not.

If God gives you 10 apples, do we actually give Him one back or do we take slices even from that for ourselves?

What does it really mean to be a cheerful giver?  It does not just mean giving money with a smile on your face.  Pastor Taylor shares what Paul was really talking about when he called us to be a cheerful giver.

The Israelites were still in the desert and their water had long since run out.  They grumbled an complained to Moses once again.  Moses got frustrated with the people when they asked for water.  Had they not yet seen that God would provide?  Were they not grateful for what they had been given?  And an even bigger questions, was God as frustrated with the Israelites as Moses was?
