    Matthew 23:33-39 March 13, 2022 a.m. Do you all remember the PSA put out by the government about wearing seatbelts. They had two crash dummies named Vince and Larry. And of course the slogan was, “You Can Learn a Lot from a Dummy!!!” I think I preached a message ...read more

    We often think of the Christmas story being the whole story, or the beginning of the Jesus story that ends with his resurrection, but in reality it goes much further than that

    “I love it when a plan comes together.” Those of you who are older than dirt probably remember this phrase being used by Hannibal Smith in the A-Team. It was first used in the pilot of the show on January 23, 1983. That will be forty years ago in two months. Forty years before that Canada was in ...read more

    We need wisdom to reconstruct our faith, this message helps us to discover how do we find the wisdom we need.

    If you’ve been with us since the beginning of April, our theme has been Reconstruction, and we’ve been looking at ways to strengthen our faith, and possibly reconstruct our faith, if we’ve been struggling with what we believe and why we believe it.

    God has gone to a great deal of trouble to give us "love letters" that express how much He cares for us. But what happens when we don't accept that He loves us?

    (I began the sermon by showing the following video featuring Jeff Foxworthy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxFqVQFvhvw - starting at timestamp1:40). The following is a transcript of the portion of his talk: Jeff Foxworthy agreed to do a small group study with the homeless at an Atlanta Christian ...read more

    Death is sacred sleep in Christ; counterfeit awakenings deceive, but the true resurrection will come when Jesus calls every sleeper by name.

    There are certain moments in life that are so quiet, so still, so unexpectedly tender that they seem to slow the entire world. Not dramatic moments. Not tragic ones. Just the moments when evening settles over the house and everything finally stops moving. When the phone stops buzzing. When the ...read more

    God announces salvation first to outcasts, revealing that grace meets us in our need and welcomes us before we belong.

    A shepherd was looking after his sheep one day on the side of a deserted road when suddenly a brand-new Porsche screeched to a halt. The driver stepped out wearing an Armani suit, Rockport shoes, Oakley sunglasses, a Rolex watch, and a Versace tie. He looked at the shepherd and said, “If I can ...read more

     | 180 views

    Despite our current limited understanding, God promises we will one day see Him clearly, fully known and loved, reunited and whole in His presence.

    If you’ve ever peered through a fogged-up bathroom mirror and tried to make sense of the face staring back, you know the feeling. Shapes are there. Outlines are there. But clarity? It waits. Life often feels like that—hints without the whole picture, music through a wall, daylight under a door. We ...read more

    Jesus calls every believer to courageous, surrendered living—trusting His authority, presence, and purpose—as we share His love and message in our everyday lives.

    Some of us came in today with a smile that hides a sigh. Some with questions that keep us awake. Some with a to-do list longer than a river. And yet, here we are, gathered under the gentle reign of the risen Christ, the One who meets us in our Mondays and our midnights. He knows the names on your ...read more

    When we feel exhausted and overwhelmed, God invites us to trust Him, wait on Him, and receive renewed strength for each day.

    Some of us walked in today with a quiet question humming beneath the surface: How much longer can I keep this up? The calendar is crowded, the to-do list grows fangs, and sleep feels like a stranger. Parents, professionals, students, caregivers—such faithful folks—yet even you can feel thin at the ...read more

    Gratitude transforms our lives; when we return to thank Jesus for His mercy, we experience deeper wholeness and the richness only gratitude can bring.

    Some of the most powerful moments in Scripture begin with a simple cry for help. Think about it: a whisper becomes a waterfall, a sigh becomes a song. When weary people raise faint voices to heaven, heaven hears. In Luke 17, ten tired men lifted ten shaky prayers. They were outcasts, pushed to the ...read more
