     | 171 views

    God values faithful stewardship of whatever we’re given, no matter how small, and calls us to trust Him and courageously use our gifts for His glory.

    Some of God’s best work begins with something small. A seed the size of a freckle. A lunch packed by a mom. A shepherd boy with a sling. A widow with two coins. Our Father loves to place grace in small packages and watch courage unwrap them. You may feel your life is “just” a handful of minutes ...read more

We first saw that with Jonah on a ship heading to Tarshish. Although there was a ship full of ...read more

     | 160 views

    As Colossians chapter 3 ends and chapter 4 begins, Paul addresses the relationships that disciples need to navigate. Paul teaches that when the Lordship of Jesus is lived out in our relationships, then they work best.

Lucy says to Snoopy: “There are times when you really bug me, but I must admit there are also times when I feel like giving you a big hug.” 2. Snoopy replies: “That’s the way I am…huggable and buggable.” B. And how ...read more

     | 2,685 views

    When we have setbacks we need to hear and cherish the voices that cry out, get on with God’s work. What God’s people need in this situation is the voice of encouragement.

    You may remember the dramatic scene from the movie Chariots of Fire. It is when Eric Liddell Falls in a race, gets up and goes on to win the race. Now that is an inspiration. What about us as Christians? Do we stumble? Do we get tripped up and fall down? Of course we do. But we don’t lay there. We ...read more

He knows the names on your to-do list and the needs you don’t know how to name. And into this ordinary ...read more

    Yesterday: My work is determined by past decisions. Tomorrow: My future goals give me energy.

    The church family was shocked this week to learn of the passing of one of our most faithful members.
