Contributed by William Meakin on Aug 21, 2025

The idiom: "The Way To The Stars" is often used metaphorically, especially in contexts like the RAF motto "Per ardua ad astra" (Through adversity to the stars).

Norman Vincent Peale, an American author once remarked: “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.” Genesis 1:14-18 reminds us: “And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night.

Christ Lifted Up

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 25, 2025

Looking to the crucified Christ does not erase every snake, yet it drains sin’s poison and gives real, resurrecting life.

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!

Sermon On The Grass Is Not Always Greener...

Contributed by William Meakin on Sep 10, 2024

The Grass Is Always Greener On The Other Side is a singular, speculative, but focused idiom that suggests the indeterminable fallacy that other people or places in one’s imagination always appear to be in a better, or more acceptable cachet than oneself.

Kasper Schmeichel, a Danish football goalkeeper once remarked: “The grass is not always greener on the other side. It is about recognizing what you do have and being grateful for what you do have.” Philippians 4:11-12 reminds us: “Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in ...read more
