     | 3,320 views

    “The secret of success is in the blocking and tackling. Focus on the blocking and tackling and everything else will come along.”

    It was something I should have learned in High School football. After all, I played tackle; it would have made my experience more meaningful if I knew it then. But I didn’t. It was a lot of years after high school; when I was in business and a mentor shared it with me. “The secret of success is in ...read more

    First Sunday of Advent - Read - Luke 1:1-4 & 26-38 This may seem like a crazy question but how many of you remember Elvis?

    Remember the Lord Johnny missed the train that would have taken him to see his favorite Football team play on Saturday. Running behind, he frantically started driving to the match. As he approached the stadium, there wasn’t a parking space to be found, anywhere. Not wanting to miss the opening ...read more

     | 497 views

    The Kingdom of God is full of surprises, and we should be open to receiving it in unexpected ways. This is evident in the story of Palm Sunday, where Jesus enters Jerusalem in a way that no one expected.

    Hey guys, today is Palm Sunday, the kick-off of Holy Week, when Jesus cruised into Jerusalem on a donkey. This was a total curveball because people were expecting a different kind of king. God's Kingdom is full of surprises, and we gotta be ready for them. God's Kingdom is full of surprises, and we ...read more

     | 3,420 views

    The Bible clearly reveals what was important to the Lord. And the things that were important to Him should also be important to us.

    But that is not the case for some folks. It is amazing what some people see as important. Illus: Clovis Chappell, a minister from a century back, used to tell the story of two paddle boats.
