    Exhausted. Empty. Enslaved. Do those words describe you? I believe that God never piles on more than we can handle. What to do when you are overbooked, overworked, and overstressed. I’ve simply got to learn to say “no” to some of what I’ve been sayi

    Several years ago, Maryanne was out of town visiting her family in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. I was here at home with Alan who was in school. He was about ten and I was trying to do things that were fun with him. One of those was skateboarding. We live on Wallings Road between Ridge and York in ...read more

    The resurrection of Jesus Christ has the power to transform our lives in ways that are difficult to put into words. It's an experience that is better felt than explained. Just like the disciples who had to see the empty tomb for themselves, we too can experience the hope and transformation that comes from Jesus being alive.

    Hey guys, Happy Easter! Today we're talking about something epic, something that changed the world forever - the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It's like that moment when Michael Jordan made that insane shot in 1989, winning the game for the Chicago Bulls. It was a moment that defied gravity and ...read more

    Let’s start at an obvious place for the week after Easter. The baskets are empty, the colored grass has been vacuumed up. Beautiful cards have been put away. Nice clothes are back in the closet. All that is left are a few jelly beans that no one wants to trust. Easter is over … or, is it?

    Just because things don’t work out exactly how we planned them does not mean that God is not at work in your life. DRY BONES HAVE EARS, IF ONLY YOU CAN SPEAK! MOUNAINS HAVE EARS ONLY IF YOU CAN COMMAND!

    IT AIN’T OVER… UNTIL GOD SAYS… IT’S OVER EZEK 37:1-14 By PV I am super excited and encouraged in my spirit today. Because God is so good! Not only is He good; He’s faithful! He’s merciful. He’s just. He is a loving God. He’s kind. He’s a provider. He’s a way-maker. He’s a deliverer. He’s a ...read more

    This is a Psalm of thanksgiving, and of hope.

    THE LORD WILL PERFECT ME. Psalm138:1-8. In Psalm 138:1, David praises the LORD. 1st, his praise is wholehearted (cf. Psalm 9:1; Psalm 86:12-13; Psalm 103:1-2; Psalm 111:1). 2nd, it is ‘in the face of’ (to use a contemporary term) all other would-be or otherwise imaginary ‘gods’ (cf. ...read more

    Exhausted following a flight to preserve his life, David looks to God Who alone can deliver His wearied saint. And He will deliver you when you cry out to Him in the midst of your trials.

    Modern Christians are going to be horrified when they stand in Judgment. Attending church, praising the Lord, living faithfully, and paying tithes aren't even on the radar of what Jesus is expecting of us. We're supposed to be serving 'the least of these!'

    THE LEAST OF THESE Matt. 25:31-40 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: THE SPHINX’S RIDDLE 1. There’s an ancient Greek story about a Sphinx that troubled the city of Thebes. He would ask passers-by a riddle. If they got the answer wrong, he would devour them. 2. The riddle was: “What walks on four legs in ...read more

    We have all heard it said: “Ignorance is bliss.” If that were true, I should be experiencing a lot more bliss in my life than I am, Amen? When it comes to Mary, the mother of Jesus, however, I wouldn’t say that ignorance is bliss but I would say that innocence is

    Jesus' followers had to very carefully examine the evidence for Jesus' resurrection, even when it was right before their faces, to believe. In the same way, you owe it to yourself to examine the evidence & come to the same conclusion they did!

    This world is a dangerous place.

    Annie Dillard, in her wonderful Pulitzer Prize winning book Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, tells a story about pennies.

    All Christians can find renewed hope in times of disappointment by 1)keeping an eternal focus, 2)cast your anxiety upon the Lord, 3)be self-controlled and resist the devil, and 4)offer a sacrifice of praise.

    If there is anything I’ve learned in my years working as a pastor it is that things don’t always go the way we think they should go.
