We've been talking about the Sabbath in our sermons at church. So, where does the Holy Spirit come into play? <a href="http://Photo by <a href="https://unsplash.com/@alexisrbrown?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText">Alexis Brown</a> on <a href="https://unsplash.com/s/photos/bible-study-group?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText">Unsplashhttp://Photo by <a href="https://unsplash.com/@alexisrbrown?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText">Alexis Brown</a> on <a href="https://unsplash.com/s/photos/bible-study-group?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText">Unsplash</a> It's during our Sabbath rest that we can focus on the Holy Spirit.

Give It A Rest
In the hustle and bustle lives that we lead in today's world, rest doesn't usually make it into our list of things to do. I keep a day planner and have for years, but guess what never makes it into the planner. Yep, you're right... rest. Noise seems to overwhelm our day and as it …
Knowing God
To love like God, you first have to know God loves you and how he loves you! So, there has to be a disconnect for unbelievers because they don't know the love of God. When our world seems to come crashing down around us, it can seem cold, unfair, unforgiving, impersonal. If we don't understand …
Jesus Tosses The Tables
One of my favorite Bible stories is about Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well. I've heard this in many sermons by several pastors and watched a recent episode of The Chosen that addressed this scripture from the book of John in chapter 4. Today's sermon dug a little deeper into what's going …

I try to listen to our sermons on Sunday with an open mind. Our pastor has a way of getting my attention that makes me really pay attention to what he has to say before I pass judgment. This morning he asked up to open our minds and hearts and to be patient with him …
They Found An Empty Tomb

Is God With Us?
It seems that as I listen to the sermon each week and then reflect on it as I prepare to write this blog post, there is always something that stands out to me. Sometimes it may just be a phrase that the pastor mentioned in passing or it might be the main topic of the …
What Does God See?
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chose for his inheritance. From heaven the Lord looks down and sees all mankind; from his dwelling place he watches all who live on earth - he who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do, No king is saved by …
Do You Want To Get Well?
Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in Aramaic is called Bethesda...John 5:2 Here's the link to the sermon for 2/14/21. What follows is my take on the sermon, but I strongly suggest that you listen to the sermon and draw your own conclusion. 1 Some time later, Jesus went …
But What About Them?
Snow was just starting to fall as we left the house for church this morning. Image by kristamonique from Pixabay if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their …
