1. It's Tradition
Contributed on Jul 5, 2021
Many of us participate in Traditions, but never ask the question, "Why do we do that?" Communion is so much more than a simple tradition. It's about remembering what Jesus did for us.
July 03, 2021 It’s funny how traditions get started. They are important, to be sure, because they remind us of home and family and culture, but sometimes we participate in them not knowing why we do them because we have never stopped to ask, “Why do we do that?”. ...read more

2. K-Rations
Contributed on Aug 22, 2021
An army moves on it's stomach. Nutrition provides energy for the fight ahead and so it is with the Christian army.
October 01, 2016 There is an old saying: “An army marches on its stomach” – if an army doesn’t feed its men it’s not going anywhere. Without food the troops can’t march, can’t maneuver, and they can’t fight. During WWII, the US tried solving this issue with “K rations”, which consisted of ...read more

Contributed on Aug 22, 2021
As we participate in Communion we are called to remember.

5. Deeply Rooted In Jesus
Contributed on Sep 30, 2022
More than anything else, this what I want for you - to KNOW Jesus. To be rooted and grounded in HIM.
October 01, 2022 When Paul was converted that day on the road to Damascus, his passion changed. He went from a denier of Jesus to his strongest and most outspoken advocate. For Paul, it was more than just speaking the truth about Jesus. The deepest desire of his heart was for those under his ...read more

8. Scars
Contributed on Oct 6, 2023
As we celebrate Communion today, let us remember that Jesus’s scars transform our scars from the evidence of our disobedience into “trophies of victory.”
October 07, 2023 Today I want to talk about scars. How many of you have scars? Surgical scars – scars from accidents – big scars, little scars – internal scars, external scars – you, know, the scars from living on planet earth. I have lots of scars: The time a car cut in front of my mom ...read more

10. What Do You Hunger And Thirst For?
Contributed on Oct 3, 2024
In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus spoke of hunger and thirst but threw in an unexpected twist:
October 05, 2024 What images come to your mind when you hear the 2 words hunger and thirst? Are they pleasant images? Probably not. • Hunger, by definition, is a feeling of discomfort or weakness caused by lack of food, coupled with the desire to eat. • Thirst, by definition, is a feeling ...read more
