    Where is God? This was my first sermon at a new church, and it showed several priorities: worship, ministry, and outreach.

    Acts 17:16-28 – Not Far From Each One of Us Today I would like to share with you a fairly simple thought. It’s been debated and dissected over the years. A person may not know what to do with it, but one thing is for sure: you can’t escape it. That truth... is that God is near. ...read more

    The philosophers of Paul’s day are not really that much different from what we see in the world around us in a post-Christian society. How Paul addressed them can help us in dealing with people who collect thoughts like Matchbox cars.

    What did you collect as a child? I collected a number of things, pennies, model trains, marbles, and Matchbox® cars. I would wait anxiously until my mother would drive me down to the toy store so I could drool over the latest and greatest tiny little car or truck. I used to show off my more ...read more
