Stepping out in faith…
I ‘ve listened to my fair share of sermons in my lifetime. It was definitely worth getting out in 6 degree weather to hear it! We are in Matthew 3:1-3 as we’re introduced to a new character in the Bible. John the Baptist was spoken of in the book of Isaiah. In those days John …
It’s not enough to say that we have a relationship with God. It’s not enough to say we believe in a higher power. We can’t say I’ll follow God, if… We can’t put God in a box. 1So the men of Kiriath Jearim came and took up the ark of the Lord. They took it …

There are times during a sermon that I am overcome with emotion because I can relate to whatever it is the pastor is preaching about. I’m sure that most of us have similar experiences. Who couldn’t relate to going through the valleys and mountain tops of life. We continue with the message brought to Joseph …
Joseph and Mary went through hard times while she was with child. They had to go to the homeland of Joseph because of the census required. They were on a long journey on a path they weren’t anticipating. “The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call …

We have to write our own story, not anyone else’s. Our scripture covers the story of the ten lepers. Lepers weren’t allowed to be near other people. Social distancing …

We started this sermon series last week and we continue on the signs of the end of the age. Some people are fascinated to study prophecy and others are afraid of it. Well, frankly it’s quite scary stuff. I used to want to figure just when the end will come, but after studying Revelation for …
Are your prayers filled with things you want or what you think should happen? Me, too! So often I’m focused on what I want and I forget that God may have a different idea. I’m not sure what made me ever think that I would know better than God. Kind of ashamed of that. We …
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 …
Bob Dylan says, “you don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows” in his song Subterranean Homesick Blues. I’m not necessarily a Bob Dylan groupie so I had to look up the reference our pastor used this past Sunday. An influence from his days playing drums with rock bands that comes in …
