Don't Refuse To Listen - Hebrews 12:18-29 Today's message is really all about listening. In particular as I focus on Hebrews 12:25 where it says: 25 Be careful that you do not refuse to listen to the One who is speaking. That sounds like a warning if I’

Raised To New Life - Colossians 2:6-19 As I began preparing this message I looked outside, after just having received an amber alert about a water tornado warning in our area. The clouds moved fast, and they were scary… interestingly enough those clouds

A few days ago we looked up and took in the immensity of the sky, then when you look down and you see what is in front of you, when you see a beautiful view, a cliff with a green carpet full of trees, and the river beneath, the lake in the distance, a bri

Often the Lord will take us in directions we don’t expect. Today’s message really represents such an occurrence. I didn’t think to go in this direction at all: Let me ask you: Have you known a special person, mentor, guide at some point in your life

When we believers lose the motivation to love, we so very easily become critical of others. We stop looking for the good in them and do our best to only see their faults. Then, and soon, we lose our unity. So, when you begin to feel critical about someone

Keeping the law should not be a mere intellectual formality. We are to obey God's law, not to obtain salvation, but to live in ways pleasing to God. Just to be clear, if you are looking for salvation, there is only one way to find it and John quotes what

Our culture more than any other before seems to insist: “Be gracious to me.” We need to get out of the idolatry of “me”, we need to get to the point, to move to the point of caring enough for the other that we instead say : “Be gracious to you.

When Peter brought the news of Cornelius’s conversion back to Jerusalem, the believers were shocked because Peter had eaten with Gentiles. I have to ask: How open are you to God doing a new thing in your life, how open are you to being with new and diff

Well, it's Mother's Day, so Happy Mother's Day! As I write this, I’m fully aware that not everyone has had a good relationship with their mother, I’m fully aware that not every mother has or had a good relationship with their offspring, and I am fully

The most important thing that Christian Faith says is that the Cross and the Resurrection were one event. This means, while you may not have chosen your suffering, but you don't have to stay there. God sent his Son into our suffering, so that we would not

Alive with Christ - Psalm 126 As I looked at Psalm 126 I found it leading me to Ephesians 2. In Ephesians 2:4 I found two words, two beautiful words where we see the grace of God, where we see His love, where we realize, He didn’t make us so that we wou
