    The sermon urges us to end each season and day with intentional prayer, focusing on what truly matters and leaving a legacy of faithfulness to God.

    If you’ve ever closed a well-worn journal, you know the gentle weight of a last line. Ink fades, pages wrinkle, and somewhere in the hush after the final sentence, a story settles. There’s a tender finality in that moment—like the soft sigh after “amen.” That’s how Psalm 72 ends: not with a ...read more

    Where has the time gone? There is a time for everything but, that never seem to bother me when I was young. But as I get older I consider almost everything in time. It’s time to take my medicine, it’s time to go to the doctor, it’s time for this or time for that.

    Two Kings, Two Paths

     | 301 views

    Big Idea: Saul grasped for control, while David trusted God’s timing. True kingship is not measured by force but by surrender to the Lord.

    They say, “timing is everything.” And you don’t have to be a musician to know that’s true — although if you’ve ever sung the wrong verse while everyone else moved on to the chorus, you know how awkward bad timing can be. Think about how much of life depends on timing. Arriving five minutes late to ...read more

    Peter wrote to the scattered and persecuted Christians throughout a vast area. Peter is writing as a fellow sufferer. Peter probably wrote this book from Roman imprisonment.

    The sixties were very turbulent times. I was born in 1961, but I am not talking about those sixties. I am talking about AD 61 to AD 70. It is the context, and it sets the stage for what Peter wrote and to whom Peter wrote in his books. Peter wrote his first book 1 Peter in about 63AD and this book ...read more
