    Understand and embrace the concept that suffering is not surprising or strange, but rather a part of our spiritual journey, allowing us to share in Christ's sufferings and look forward to the glory that awaits us.

    Good morning, Church family. We are living in unprecedented times, aren't we? Our world has seen a drastic shift in what we consider "normal." Yet, we shouldn't be surprised.

    Mary has had a hectic couple of months. After Jesus is born, Mary takes a moment to reflect on what's happened. How do we use the breaks in our lives between the chaos and the crowds during the Christmas season?

    How will you honor Christ and be a part of your church in the New Year? If we won’t reach out, or if we won’t work together to do reach others, we've become an exclusive, limiting club filled with Pharisees … which is dangerous ground to be on!

    Looking ahead to 2017 Philippians 1:1-30 Introduction The New Year is always an opportunity to reflect, and to look ahead Today, we will forego looking back (can’t change that) and look forward for Christ We know the current condition of the church, of our lives (some good, some bad) Let’s ...read more

    Looking for Pennies (story from Annie Dillard) is important because: 1. The created world is a window into the heart of God. 2. The created world provides opportunities to praise the goodness of God. 3. The created world is a source of joy for thankful

    Funeral Sermon: Many people have a longing inside and life seems dissatisfying. They are actually searching for home. Our true home is in heaven; but until we reach heaven, Jesus is our home. He is also our guide leading us home.

    I was praying about what I should share today, and I was searching for something that would address a wide range of needs, for those who are Christians and those who aren’t; and the Lord led me to 2 Corinthians chapter 5. Let me assure you that Marshall was a Christian. He had a personal ...read more

    This sermon examines what we mean by "Holiness Unto the Lord," and examines why we must seek Christ and His Holiness - we must continually move forward lest we fall back.

    Usually, when I get ready to preach, I go to the Common Revised Lexicon to find a scripture passage. Then I look at what others have had to say about that passage of scripture both online and the good old fashioned way of looking things up in books and commentaries. Sometimes a word in the passage ...read more
