    Survival in this life is not a matter of being fit, but a matter of being faithful to God.

    SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST? OR THE FAITHFUL? INTRO.- ILL.- The backwoods preacher found a small boy all alone, playing in the dirt. "Where’s your father?" the preacher asked. The boy said, "He was hanged last week." "Where’s your mother?" "She run off." "Where’s your sister?" "She’s in ...read more

    Knowing we belong to Christ, makes the difference in our thanksgiving holiday.

    Canadian Thanksgiving 2001 “Always be joyful. Keep on praying. No matter what happens, always be thankful, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.” 1Thess.5:16-18 (NLT) Comedian Billy Crystal plays the part of a bored baby boomer in a movie, who sells radio advertising time. ...read more

    This sermon is part of a series I preached on Nehemiah’s one holy passion, the glory of God.

    One Holy Passion Nehemiah 13:4-31 May 27, 2001 “Inching Away” “All too easily, an ugly thing becomes tolerated, even viewed as the possibly useful thing, then the permissible thing, and finally the attractive thing. It does not happen in a moment. Standards are lowered gradually and ...read more

Even the dogs came and licked his sores. ...read more

    Trusting God’s timing in every season, we learn to wait with faith, knowing He is present and working even when we cannot see it.

    Some of us came in today with calendars covered in scribbles and hearts heavy with questions. The clock keeps ticking, but the answer seems late. A prayer hangs in the air. A door stays shut. A dream feels shelved. We know God is good, we sing that God is faithful, yet our watches rarely match His ...read more

     | 297 views

    True faith is shown by compassion for others; ignoring those in need hardens our hearts and distances us from God’s grace and eternal hope.

    Friends, welcome. Some stories slip past our defenses and sit down in the living room of our hearts. Jesus tells one of those stories today. It hums with hope and honesty. It whispers to our comfort and calls to our conscience. It lifts our chin so we can see the person at the gate and the God who ...read more

    Trusting God with opposition frees us from control and revenge, inviting us to pray honestly and rest in His faithful care amid conflict and criticism.

    Some weeks feel like a parade of prickly people and pricklier problems. A stray comment stings. A coworker corners you with criticism. The group text lights up with misunderstandings, and your heart feels like a drumline—pounding, pounding, pounding. Have you ever replayed a conversation until your ...read more

    God abundantly refreshes and enriches our lives when we pray, turning our dry seasons into fruitful harvests through His faithful provision and grace.

    Some of us walked in today feeling like cracked earth—stretched thin, thirsty, waiting for a cloud to gather overhead. You’ve known seasons like that. Maybe you’re in one now. The bills feel bigger than your paycheck. The grief feels heavier than your shoulders. The prayers feel longer than the ...read more

     | 86 views

    God’s approval, not others’ opinions, defines our worth; even when those closest doubt us, Jesus understands and affirms our value through the cross.

    Some of the hardest headwinds we face often blow from our own back porch. It’s funny how life works: strangers may applaud you, acquaintances may admire you, but the folks who know your middle name and saw your backyard mistakes can struggle to see God’s handiwork in you. They remember the messy ...read more

    God’s power is greater than our problems; prayer and obedience invite hope and restoration even when circumstances seem impossible or overwhelming.

    Some weeks feel like a siege, don’t they? The walls close in. The headlines howl. The bills glare. Your energy ebbs and your faith feels small. You stand at a window and you wonder, “How is this going to work?” If that’s you today, you’re in familiar, biblical company. Jeremiah knew about closed ...read more

    True faith is shown by serving others with love in everyday life, trusting that God values our simple acts of kindness and compassion.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile on our face and a storm in our chest. Others came in with questions that kept us up last night. We wonder, Do I measure up? Is God tired of me stumbling? Can simple, ordinary me really please a holy God? Friend, take a deep breath. Your Father is not frowning ...read more

    God invites our weary, honest selves to find true rest in His presence, offering comfort and strength for every burden we carry.

    There’s a hush that comes when a roomful of tired hearts hears a kind voice. I believe that’s what this moment can be—a hush for hurried souls, a pause for people who have given their best and still feel thin, a holy breath for those who woke up weary. Some of us are carrying backpacks no one else ...read more

    The sermon urges us to cherish our inherited faith, overcome fear, and boldly nurture and protect the gifts and gospel entrusted to us by God.

    If you hold this letter up to your ear, you can almost hear the heartbeat behind it. Paul is nearer to the end than the beginning. Cold walls. Thin blankets. Thick memories. He is thinking of a young pastor with tender tears and a tough assignment. He remembers a grandmother’s prayers and a ...read more

    Jesus, the Good Shepherd, personally calls us by name, offering true life, guidance, and security amid life’s noise and distractions.

    Some weeks feel like standing in a crowded barn. So many voices. So much noise. Phones buzz. News churns. Deadlines demand. You find yourself wondering, Does anyone hear me? Does anyone know my name? The pages of John 10 open like a quiet pasture on a loud day. They whisper, Yes. The Shepherd does. ...read more

    The sermon urges us to turn from self-reliance and busyness, remembering that our true purpose and security are found in knowing and seeking God Himself.

    Friends, I’m glad you’re here. Life runs fast, doesn’t it? The calendar fills, the inbox swells, the deadlines line up like dominoes. We build our days with bricks of busyness—palaces of productivity, towers of tasks, fortresses of to-do lists. And yet, there comes that quiet hour when the house ...read more
