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 …
I was listening to a friend talk about the state of the world right now. He asked if we had filled our basement with canned goods for when things get worse. Conspiracy theories, invasions, financial crises, anxiety. All of these apparently on the horizon for the world we live in if you believe some of …
Is image really everything? A lot of people seem to think so because we’ll go to great length to keep up appearances. It was the same in biblical times as well. Let’s take a look at what happened as the new church was forming. We talked last week about the growing number of those who …
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 …

This morning was one of those times at church that I could really feel God at work! I plan out our music on a monthly basis, usually. I never know what the sermon is going to be. Even though I had this set planned weeks in advance, I wasn’t sure about the first song. I’d …
As we continue our look at Galatians, we find Paul urging the new Christians to be aware that those who live by the law are under a curse… 10 For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written: ”Cursed is everyone who does not continue to …
