The Lord Is My Refuge
Contributed on Aug 18, 2024
In times of trouble we seek peace and safety. Where we seek it makes all the difference in the world.
It always seems that I get a request to preach form the Psalms. Today Psalm 11. The Psalms speak to us – we can almost hear ourselves in the Psalms – praising God – mourning our sin – questioning the world – seeking vengeance on our enemies. Before reading let’s introduce some aspects of the ...read more

Jesus' Guest List
Contributed on Apr 19, 2024
You’re probably heard the saying, “You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time”. You would think that Jesus could please all of the people all of the time. But he didn’t.
You’re probably heard the saying, “You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time”. That sounds true from my experience. No one can please all of the people all of the time, but … if there ...read more

Saul sinks to new lows as he consults the medium of Endor.
Today we will be in 1 Samuel 28 The chapter begins with two announcements 1. Samuel has died 2. Saul has taken action against the mediums in the land.

Smart Phone Theology
Contributed on Oct 29, 2024
Smart phones are really smart. Even smarter than I know. I use my phone for so much more than calling and texting but it’s not uncommon for me to learn new features and abilities my phone has that I previously had never known. Over the years I’ve learned that my phone is a compass, can take video ...read more

This Life Is Just A Rental
Contributed on May 14, 2024

If you’re not familiar with this concept it’s basically people renting out their homes to tourists. It’s especially convenient if we have a lot of family to house. We can all stay together, ...read more

Rejoice With Those Who Rejoice. Easier Said Than Done.
Contributed on Jan 23, 2024
Do you ever find it hard to be happy for people when good things happen to them? I do. Someone gets a promotion and instead of being happy for them I’m envious. A friend’s child gets an award and jealousy is my first reaction instead of joy. Why can’t I just be happy when good things happen to ...read more
