    I am the LORD, and there is no other. I form light and create darkness, I make well-being and create calamity, I am the LORD, who does all these things (Isaiah 45.5-7). It has been my observation that many people like to think of God as a kind of protective big brother. It is somehow reassuring ...read more

    Part II in a series on the book of Jonah

    As we begin looking toward our mission conference in a couple of months, I want to share some thoughts with you from the book of Jonah – a prophet who ran from God to avoid carrying a divine warning to the people of Nineveh. Jonah undoubtedly feared the bloodthirsty Ninevites, but in ...read more

    Half our miseries are caused by fancying things that we think are coming upon us: half the things that we expect to come upon us never come at all. Where is our faith? “Do not be worried about tomorrow” that is the commandment of Christ, and it is the way

    The Apostle Peter reassures us: There will be a final judgment. Also we look at the reality of hell, and why people refuse to believe in it - SIN, they want to justify their sin. See sermon for details......

    A little note about the sermon title: I had a little boy say outloud "Hell In A Handbasket". His mom said sternly: "Where did you hear such a thing?" "I was just reading the sermon title mommy". Maybe I should have gone with my alternate title: H. E. double toothpicks. An old sourdough [that’s ...read more

    Last week in my sermon on showing appreciation made me think of the biblical accounts where people were not restrained in showing their appreciation or excitement. Let's see what we can learn from some of the ones who did that.

    LET IT OUT! Last week in my sermon on showing appreciation, I had mentioned what Jesus said to the Ephesian church in Rev. 2 about how they had forsaken their first love and they needed to repent and do the things they were doing in the beginning.
