Stepping out in faith…
We can plan our life out the way we think it should be. But, what is God’s plan for your life? How can you ever really know what His plan is if you don’t communicate with him? Are you happy with where you are right now? It may be painful because of your past, but …
Sometimes bad people do good things and sometimes good people do bad things. The end doesn’t always justify the means. As Christians, we should always be intent on glorifying God in all that we do. But, what we do can’t keep God’s will from happening. God will make a way if it’s his will. The …
This is my take on the sermon for 10/2/22. That may seem like a strange title for a blog post about Genesis 26, but that’s what caught my attention right away. Callouses can make things easier, but it takes time and hard work to build them. Our pastor talked about building callouses as a drummer …
As I began reading my daily devotionals, I read this quote… To trust God in the light is nothing. But to trust Him in the dark, that is faith.— Charles Spurgeon I can remember my dad saying it’ll work out. Even though money was tight or it didn’t seem to make sense to feel that …
There will always be uncertainties in life, even for those who believe in God. He never promised we wouldn’t have trouble. Satan likes to cause disruption however he can. God did promise he would be with us. If you’d like to listen to this complete sermon as a podcast, click here. As we look at …

This week’s sermon looked at the dysfunctional family of Jacob in Genesis. 19 This is the account of the family line of Abraham’s son Isaac. Abraham became the father of Isaac. 20 and Isaac was forty years old when he married Rebekah daughter of Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan Aram and sister of Laban the …
It’s so easy to get caught up on our own problems and think, “poor me, life is so difficult!” But what if instead of focusing on ourselves we look at the world around us for where God is needed. “Do not merely listen to the word and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone …
It was an interesting take on rest in yesterday’s sermon. Love the way our pastor pulls something out of scripture and puts a spin on it. We’re in the book of 1 John. 3 “This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, 4 for everyone born of God …
The book of James has become my favorite book to study. I was drawn to it again this morning when it popped up in my Bible study choices in the YouVersion app. Listening to Frances Chan talk about the scattering of the tribes during the persecution following the crucifixion of Jesus helped me to understand …
