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 …
Fear And Trembling
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 …
How Can We Grow Our Faith?
As I began reading my daily devotionals, I read this quote… To trust God in the light is nothing. But to trust Him in the dark, that is faith.— Charles Spurgeon I can remember my dad saying it’ll work out. Even though money was tight or it didn’t seem to make sense to feel that …
Where Is God When Life Is Hard?

I think it's easy to get comfortable in our relationship with God. We get up on Sunday morning and go to church, sing a few songs, listen to a sermon and feel like we've given God a portion of our time. Wow, that's so sad, but I've been there, I understand. But, I want to …

Becoming An Acts 4 Church
What does it take to be the kind of church Peter spoke to in Acts 4? Our pastor’s message has been in Acts for a while now. I find this text to be very inspiring in the times we are living. We looked at Acts 4 beginning with verse 32. 32 All the believers were …
Help Others As You Are Able
We become accustomed to our condition, having no hope that anything will ever be better. We often think money is the answer, but it’s usually not the answer. This week’s sermon took a look at the crippled beggar who waited by the gate called Beautiful for people to throw him their change. 1 One day …
