Stepping out in faith…
The red letters in my Bible are important. They are what Jesus said. As I was reading my morning devotional, God pointed these words out as I read from Luke 15. “I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”Luke 15:40 This is what Jesus said to the Pharisees when …
Names carry good and bad connotations. Someone can know of you, and not really “know”you. Identity is something we all strive for. To listen to the sermon, click here. What about the name Mary Magdalene? Does that bring a certain connotation to mind? We may read things or hear people talk about someone that aren’t …
In his letter to the Philippians, Paul talks to them about Timothy who has been such a big help to Paul. 19 I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered when I receive news about you. 20 I have no one else like him, who …
There’s a lot going on in our world that is hard to take in. It may seem that things look hopeless. It’s easy to get down and feel dread in your life. The earthquake in Turkey & Syria was devastating with so many lives lost. We’re shooting balloons of some unidentified objects out of the …

Why is it that we can’t take God at his word? Time after time in the Bible we see people try to take things into their own hands to make God’s promises happen. When will we realize God doesn’t need our help! He’s God. He can do whatever he pleases. We’ve been in a sermon …
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 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.
