When I saw the title and scripture of this sermon, I wondered how my pastor was going to bring this together. Diversity is a much talked about topic now days because of the racial tension in our communities and throughout the world. Our scriptures this week were from Genesis 11, about the Tower of Babel, …
God Knows Us
It can be easy to turn from God, well, at least who we’ve made him to be. We want God to do what we want. So, instead of trying to learn more about who he is, we try to put him in a box and look at him like a Jeanie who will make our …
You Are Not Invisible
It’s been a few weeks of ups and downs, but God is faithful to bring us through the times when we look to him. I found it humorous this morning when after doing my reading in the Bible and through the devotionals that the message our pastor delivered on Mother’s Day is what my Bible …
I Am The Light Of The World
Jesus will never endorse a spirit of hypocritical condemnation. We can’t condemn someone because we are sinners ourselves. We are all sinners saved by grace. It’s not something we can gain by anything we do. But, what motivates us to continue to try? We think we are so above others because it makes us look …
I Am The Good Shepherd
“I am the good shepherd.” Another of the statements Jesus makes recorded in the book of John. This is a sermon series that brings to light some important statements that we should all be familiar with. Jesus is being questioned by some of the Pharisees after he has healed a blind man. We actually see …
Be Lost In The Wonder
The total eclipse that many of us were able to witness yesterday was quite a site to see! I appreciate those who were able to capture the vast reach of God, our Creator, on film. We are drawn to the unknown, but have we lost the awe and wonder of just how big our God …
Jesus Felt The Tears
I’ve heard sermons on Easter Sunday about the resurrection, from Mary’s perspective, from the view of the disciples, Doubting Thomas. Our pastor took a different slant this year, which always makes me take a deeper look at it. How is it that the things that we never want to see happen can bring the greatest …
Redeemable 3
I looked at the scripture for this week and thought that we'd exhausted the importance of Paul's letter. Sometimes I am wrong Our pastor always seems to find an important message in the smallest passages. I'm thankful that his sermon made me take a look at these last few verses in Titus. "Do everything you …
Redeemable 2
Paul continues in his letter to Titus to impress the importance to avoid controversy until you can't. Walk away when you can. "Not my circus, not my monkeys." Drama is everywhere in our everyday lives. For example; weather forecasting, the economy, crime, work drama, and school. We can't hide completely from drama, it's a magnet. …
Stepping Out In Faith: The Retreat
I have to share with my readers, the awesome God we serve! A few years ago, God put it on my heart to have a women’s retreat for the ladies in my church. We did that in 2023 and it was amazing! I knew that the only way this year’s retreat would rival that one …
