    It is startling that so few people anticipated the Advent of God’s Messiah. However, few look for His presence today; and few will be anticipating His return.

    Though the word “serve” isn’t explicitly mentioned in Acts 2:42-47, the early church served each other. As Jesus demonstrated service by washing His disciples' feet, we are to serve one another through our gifts, tangible acts of help, prayer, hospitality, and generosity.

    We're going to look at a phase of Elijah's life as he learned that he could serve even when he was discouraged.

    Happy New Year! I know that it is too early to tell how this year is going to go. These last two years have been pretty rough on everyone. In everything that has gone on in 2020 and 2021, did you ever get to the point where you just felt burned out or ready to give up? That's what ...read more

    God transforms us from the inside out. All Christ-followers are in the midst of this transformation, and at the same time, raw as we are, we reflect the Lord’s glory. Go figure.

    Nature is an incredible thing. Most of us have likely had our breath taken away at the site of something in creation.

    So how do we rightly relate to one another in our small groups? I have found there is no reason to "reinvent the wheel" in responding to this question. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, in his classic work, Life Together, explains 7 ways to serve your small group.

    Last week, I used an illustration to show that Jesus should be the center of our small group meetings. He is the real leader of the small group. He is alive. He comes to us in the person of the Holy Spirit. And he is Lord. But lying underneath this goal of our gathering is the reality that we ...read more

    Jesus wanted His disciples to be prepared for what was to come, and God's Word still speaks to us in the same way, preparing us for the hatred of the world as we stand strong for Christ.

    Be Prepared Text: John 16:1-4 When I was a kid my parents let me watch Saturday morning cartoons. I watched Tom and Jerry, Scooby Doo, the Flintstones… but my favorite was G.I.
