    The Skeleton Of Hope

    I wrote this message as a devotional to share at our next deacon's meeting. Our church is one of MANY churches without a full-time pastor. It's been over a year & a half since the previous pastor left & we need to remember the HOPE we have in Christ!

    The Skeleton of HOPE One thing that we could all use a little more of is hope. Hope is something that can be hard to find in today’s world. Hope seems to be gone, deceased, expired, no more. Hope is nothing but a dried-up skeleton. But that doesn’t mean we should shrug our shoulders & give ...read more

    Christmas reveals God’s unstoppable light, breaking chains and restoring hope through unlikely people, unexpected places, and redeeming love.

    There are certain songs we hear so often that they begin to fade into the background. They become part of the seasonal wallpaper—pleasant, familiar, predictable. Christmas music, especially, can do that to us. You hear it in grocery stores. In elevators. On hold with customer service. Played ...read more

    We all face challenges and burdens that can leave us feeling weary and hopeless. But Jesus offers us rest and hope. He invites us to exchange our heavy burdens for his light yoke of grace. This rest is best experienced in community, where we can support and carry one another's burdens.
