    In a community where 40% of the people don’t give a rip about church what are we to do? How are we to approach them.

    The 1950’s was a boom time for the Church in the U.S. and the favorite game for believers was “Hide and Seek”. Congregations would hide behind their walls and stained glass windows and those outside would seek us out. If you hadn’t noticed the world doesn’t play “Hide and Seek” anymore. Today ...read more

     | 5,149 views

    Ministry of any kind can be discouraging. In the long run, serving God and man pays off if we don't give up (Galatians 6.9).

    1. Followers of Yeshua (Jesus) are called to imitate his life of service For the Son of man also came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." Mark 10.45 2. We might think of the professional clergy as being "ministers" -- on call 24/7, however, EVERY believer is ...read more

    Blessings so close, that they could throw a stone and hit them! Like a strong pot of coffee brewing, they could smell it, but not taste it. The word of the Lord said: you’ve been in this place long enough.

    He said the B word As I was working with someone the other day, there was something I was doing that came together and really worked out well for me. And one of the guys who was there said, you are so lucky, That was not luck I informed him, I said do you even know where the word luck, gets its ...read more

    It is a blessing and very important for our faith to consider what kind of crowd we have merged into, what we hold in our hands, and what we are shouting.

    John 12:12-13, “The next day the great crowd that had come for the Feast heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, “Hosanna!” In my sermon today I want to focus on and examine the crowds that were present during Holy ...read more
