    In the context of White Privilege, we sometimes think God loves us because we are lovable. Quite the opposite, God calls us when we aren't worthy or even very lovable. Responding to a God who brings laughter.

    Sermon: Undeserved • Sarah and Abraham were unworthy but God gave them Isaac (laughter) anyway. • We were undeserving, but Jesus died for us anyway. • If we know God loves us even if we are undeserving, how should we act towards others? I was speaking with a group of pastors this week about ...read more

    As we grow older we will face walls, walls that old age all by its self produces. Some may be walls that we may have thought that were only for other people, like the wall of “Old Age.” Old Age is for others and not me.

    “When You Hit a Wall, Look For A Door” Gen 18:11-14 11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. 12 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also? 13 And ...read more

    A short lesson on the importance of a Christian woman to have the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God.

Interesting to me is that as God sees all things, the Bible reveals that there is something that is “precious in the sight of God.” The meaning ...read more
