    As God’s Church we gather together to worship God as his people; to remember Jesus’ death on the cross on our behalf; to build one another up; to stir one another up to love and good works; and to encourage one another to persevere to the end.

    What does it mean to be God’s Church? That is, God’s people, literally ’called out’ of the world. Why should we meet regularly with other believers in this place? What do we think we’re doing when we gather here Sunday after Sunday? Perhaps you’ve never really stopped to think about those sorts of ...read more

    In the last several years we have heard a lot about “fake news.” “Fake news” is what happens when something is reported to be true that isn’t true.

    Fake news is nothing new. That is, we’re not the first generation to grapple with truth vs. lies. Human nature is such that many people find it easier to tell a lie than to tell the truth. If lying was a sport, it would be the most popular sport on earth today. Politicians have the reputation ...read more

Well, if I always half the distance, they will never ...read more
