Stepping out in faith…
You’ve seen those pixelated images that seem to be one thing, but when you focus on it for a while, it turns into something entirely different. The image becomes clear when you stay focused and not interrupted. Do you think that’s how it was for many when Jesus began his ministry? They expected him to …
This week’s sermon covered Colossians 2:16-23. 16Therefore, do not let anyone judge you for what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. 17These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ. Colossians 2:16-17 First …
This sermon given by our pastor, Jon Porter, is based on Philippians 4:10-23. Paul, the writer of the letter to the church in Philippi sends this to remind the people there how much their gifts mean to him. Paul has lived in times of plenty and times of want and has learned to be content …
Every week I sit down and write a blog post about my pastor’s sermon. I’m going to do it a little differently today. I’m going to give you the scripture reference and then give you just a few things that I took away from the sermon. 4Each of you should look not only to your …

There will always be uncertainties in life, even for those who believe in God. He never promised we wouldn’t have trouble. Satan likes to cause disruption however he can. God did promise he would be with us. If you’d like to listen to this complete sermon as a podcast, click here. As we look at …
Life’s not always easy. It doesn’t go as we have planned. But God had his plan and it was more than any could have imagined! Jesus had been dropping hints that the end was near, but the disciples didn’t seem to understand what he was saying. Judas had already agreed to turn Jesus over to …
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 …
Paul knew that the news he’d received by divine intervention was too good to keep to himself!
