    Many don’t know how to pray. Prayer involves more than petition. When times get tough believers must fall to their knees before the throne of mercy with nobody else around. In the most terrifying week of His life Jesus retreated to pray. It was in Gethsemane where He won the victory, not on Calvary!

    Introduction Slide 1 (title of series) For those who missed it, last week we began a 12 week adventure in the life of Jesus as we study what are called “The 12 stations of the cross.” In the last few weeks of the life of Jesus on earth we will study significant places He stopped at and what we can ...read more

    Does the existence of God also mean that He knows how we, His creatures best function? Does that mean that He loves us? Does it mean that we can get to know Him personally? Jesus gave a simple two step process that one should think about when confronted with the truth of the Gospel.

    Communion meditation focusing on Remembering the Lord Jesus.

    In 1993 my wife and I began to serve a Church in southern NH. There were very few people there and the only ones that seemed qualified to function as deacons were men that had previously retired from the position. I think John was about 84 at the time, but I asked him if he’d consider ...read more
