     | 7,656 views

    Autumn: is a time to reflect on the Majesty of all that God has made. Colorful trees warn us about following the wrong teachers, the Creator who paints such a beautiful creation also paints our lives, and God stands never-changing strong in the middle of change.

    (Introduction) L.M. Montgomery in Anne of Green Gables wrote, “I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.” Me too! The temperatures are getting cooler. The colors of the leaves on the trees are turning more and more vivid. Autumn Is A Second Spring When Every Leaf Is A ... By ...read more

    As the days get shorter, and the nights get colder, fall is a great time to look deep into our souls. It’s a time to delight in the details of beauty around us, reflect on where we have been, and focus on where we are going.

    Beware Of Hypocrisy Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Aug 25, 2025
     | 189 views

    In His encounter with Pharisees and Scribes, Jesus discusses the characteristics of hypocrisy. To His disciples He notes the promises of hypocrisy with a stern warning. And yet, in the gospel, we find great hope for hypocrites.

    It seems like nearly every month (maybe even more frequently if we look hard enough), we receive news about some Christian leader who fails morally, gets caught, and is removed from ministry. Whether it’s pastors, professors, performers, or politicians - failure happens. We see hypocrisy ...read more

    No Satisfaction

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 10, 2025
     | 188 views

    Solomon’s relentless search for meaning—in wisdom, work, and wealth—ended in emptiness, proving that life “under the sun” cannot satisfy the human heart. Lasting joy and fulfillment come only from God through Jesus Christ, who alone turns life’s vanity into eternal victory.

    Introduction When “More” Is Never Enough It was the six-year-old boy’s first day of school. His one life ambition? Have as much fun as humanly possible. He marched through the gate with the bold confidence that only a child possesses, ready to squeeze joy out of every moment. But at noon there ...read more

    Grip the gospel daily—remember, receive, redirect, rely—and the Spirit will help you guard God’s good deposit.

    One of the typical characteristics of our children—maybe yours too—was that they enjoyed playing their music loud. Not just loud… LOUD. The kind of loud that rattles the drywall and makes the dog rethink his loyalty to the family. One day, while I was getting dressed, I heard music thumping ...read more

    Trusting God with our money reveals our true priorities; faithful stewardship transforms wealth into eternal impact and frees us from serving money as a master.

    Friends, welcome. Pull up a chair. In a world where prices climb and schedules squeeze, our hearts can feel thin. We carry questions into church tucked beneath our smiles.
