    Trusting in the providence of God even when life doesn’t make sense.

    Do you ever read Romance novels? I don’t – believe me! I’m not particularly interested in that kind of literature. I’m a “facts” man. I like non-fiction. I like theology. I like pastoral administrative type books too. I like the kind of books that put most people to sleep. But I found a ...read more

    This sermon outline is inspired and taken from the book "The God Chaser’s". It was not my original idea. I pray that God will bless you as much as He blessed me from reading this book.

    No Bread in the House of Bread Ruth 1:1-6 Introduction: What is the matter with the “Church” in America today? I have said it before and I will say it again today.

    Naomi and her family have wandered a long way from God’s promises - what sort of welcome will she find when she turns back?

    When it comes to handyman repair jobs, I reckon there’s a strange fascination. There is for me, anyway. If you want anything fixed around the house, CALL ME. You’ll probably be sorry. Because to be honest, the problem is, in my own mind, I’m BOB THE BUILDER. But in practice, all I usually do is ...read more

    One of the things we realize is that often we don’t love like we should. We’re not good lovers! Now, you might think you’re a pretty good lover -- at least your spouse thinks so.
