  • God's Weaving Of Our Lives

    Contributed on Apr 5, 2025
     | 79 views

    How we see our lives, and how God sees them, are so very different. Today we compare this to two sides of a tapestry.

    God’s Weaving of Our Lives Isaiah 55:8,9 says: My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. That’s a good summary of what we see in our ...read more

  • Pride And The Wicked Tenants

    Contributed on Apr 5, 2025
     | 45 views

    So often we let our pride get in the way from admitting we were wrong, or to see something from another angle. This morning the Pharisees Pride keeps them from acknowledging Jesus for who he is and provide a cautionary tale for us.

    Pride and the Wicked Tenants Good Morning. Believe it or not, we are in the final days of Lent! The Scripture lessons from today through Good Friday are all Jerusalem and Temple themed. Today’s especially we focus on a common temple theme of having a right heart and purity when we come before God. ...read more

  • True Mercy Over True Sin

    Struggling with Sin? You're not the first. This morning we look at Law and Grace, and how great the Mercy Jesus gives us over True Sin is.

    True Mercy Over True Sin Good Morning. Today we look at Law and Grace, two things that live in constant tension in a Christian’s life. A common knock against focusing too much grace is that it will encourage a lack of love or respect for God’s Law. As Paul says in Romans 6, because we have grace ...read more

  • Faith In The Right Things

    Contributed on Mar 16, 2025
     | 94 views

    This morning, a Canaanite Woman barges into the house Jesus is praying seeking his help. Jesus comments seem cold, but her acknowledgement of Jesus authority, and her need for Grace brings about a great lesson in where we stand before God.

    Good Morning. Today, we have a tough lesson, in that it seems to show us a Jesus who is not the approachable loving friend we sometimes can imagine, but standoffish, aloof, and cold; similar to the way he talks to Mary in Cana before He turns water into wine. As the cartoon on the bulletin cover ...read more

  • Jesus Victory Over Temptation

    Contributed on Mar 10, 2025
     | 108 views

    This message looks at the three temptations Jesus faced, why they truly were temptations, and how he overcame them, giving us a path to follow.

    Good Morning. How long can you play around with temptations without consequences? Kind of like asking how far over edge of the cliff can I safely lean. Sadly, this year has seen stories about church pastors who have fallen off that cliff and not only destroyed their marriages, but their churches, ...read more
