Stop and Smell the Roses

…..no, really, I meant it. I want you stop and go outside and take a look at all that is happening around you that you are missing. Spring has sprung, and as the weather gets warmer, the days longer, and the sweet aroma of cook-outs seems to hang in the air each weekend, God is putting on a show through his creation.

How Accurate Is The Bible?

How accurate is the Bible? This is a question I often get asked as a Pastor. In fact, sometimes it’s not asked, it’s put in the form of a statement that goes something like this. There are quite a few objections to the Bible’s being accurate.  A few of them include… Continue reading

No One Like Our God

The best worship songs, at their core, are really just prayers. Yesterday, we took part in a National Day of Prayer so I think it’s appropriate we all remind ourselves that when we sing on Sunday morning, we are really singing our prayers.

A Living Sacrifice – Part 2

Last week we began to look at Romans 12:1-2 and discussed how worship is the catalyst for God to begin change in our lives. It leads to a renewing of our mind. This week, let’s go a little further into this passage and discover how this change helps us in our journey through life…. Continue reading

Don’t Worry! There Is Still Time!

I’m sure right now you’re having a FOMO (fear of missing out) moment because you are afraid you missed your chance to sign your 6th-12th grader up for our summer missions trip. Well guess what, Continue reading

For What?

As spectator Paul Thompson drove away from the devastation at the Boston Marathon, a WSJ reporter approached him.

“For what? For what?” Thompson, a cardiologist, said through his tears.  “These people are totally innocent.”

Dr. Thompson speaks for us all. God created us to be morally reasoning beings, but this wanton violence defies reason, and our hearts break into lament. We are not alone. Continue reading
