    Built to Last (Romans 16:1-27) Intro 1. My kids just got a puppy that is scared of every appliance in the house, but one in particular. I suggested they name the dog, “Nature.” Because nature abhors a vacuum. 2. Appliances are not what they used to be. Old appliances were built to last. 3. We had ...read more

    HoHum: Veteran’s Day- Be thankful of our veterans and we, who did not serve, need to honor those who did. As we look out, most here are seasoned with time.

    Samuel was the last Judge of Israel. He serves as a link between the time of the Judges and the Monarchy, so our story begins with him.
