    How do we make it through difficulties? Not just troubles, but even tragedies? Jesus told us we would have trouble, but He also promised peace. This message discusses how that is possible.

    (This message was preached during a recent week where our family experienced the death of a close friend, and the death of a family members’ baby.) Any time tragedies and turmoils come to us, such as we have experienced this week, it sends us searching for answers. We begin to think, to ...read more

He warned that the task would not be easy, many would reject them, and they would face opposition along the way. However, in the midst ...read more

    20th in series on Joshua. This is about the tribe of Manasseh wanting more land, but not willing to fight for it. They lacked courage, so they whined about their condition. Sound familiar?

    Joshua 17:11-18 – Play It Safe I read of a report called Play It Safe. The report said, "Avoid riding in automobiles because they are responsible for 20% of all fatal accidents. Do not stay home because 17% of all accidents occur in the home. Avoid walking on streets or sidewalks because 14% ...read more
