Stepping out in faith…
Two of the most difficult things to get straight in life are love and God. The two can’t be separated. To love the right way we have to be right with God and to deal with God the right way, we have to learn to love the right way. For John’s instruction to the churches …
17 ”Now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did your leaders. 18 But this is how God fulfilled what he had foretold through all the prophets, saying that his Christ would suffer.”Acts 3:17-18 Peter is speaking to those who had gathered to hear about this Jesus that they had condemned on a …
I continually find things in the Bible that I never fully understood, no matter how many times I’ve read the passage. For instance, the parable about the ten virgins in Matthew 25. I understood that it was about us being prepared for Christ’s return. But I don’t think I fully understood what that entailed. I’ve …
We all have faith in something. When you sit down in a chair, do you examine it first to see if it’s sturdy enough to hold you or do you just sit down with faith that it’ll do what it’s supposed to do? Do you take the medicine you got at the pharmacy having faith …
Psalm 23 is probably one of the most well known and quoted chapters of any in the Bible, at least recognized if you began to read it. It was the first Psalm that I memorized. I was in the 5th or 6th grade and was challenged to memorize it overnight to recite the next day …

As we look at another lesson in Galatians, Paul talks about justification in verses 15-21. 15 “We who are Jews by birth and not ’Gentile sinners’ 16 know that a man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Jesus Christ that …
When we are posed with the question, “Whose side are you on”? We may not realize our decision may be a defining moment in time. Joshua didn’t realize who he was talking to when he asked the question. 13 And then this, while Joshua was there near Jericho; He looked up and saw right in …
As we continue our study in the book of Colossians, we come upon an argument between Peter and Paul. Let’s take a look at it. 11 When Cephas (Peter) came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned. 12 For before certain men came from James, he used to eat with …
Listening to the sermons in our church often hit a chord within me which encourages me in my faith walk. Today’s sermon was about confession and repentance. It often makes us uncomfortable to admit the sins we are guilty of. The scripture for this sermon was 1 Samuel 7:1-6. In this passage, Samuel instructs the …
