    This is a non-traditional funeral message for my mom, for a largely Christian congregation

    Funeral Mama’s - Things I’m Grateful For I have to admit, this funeral is a little more difficult than many I have done.

    Answers the question: Are you a bold pioneer who is exploring new non-traditional ways of expressing faith and interacting with the Body of Christ - or are you just skipping church and quietly backsliding?

Introduction: We should all know the real meaning of Easter, and the real reason for the season...and that is JESUS CHRIST, His death, burial, and ...read more

  • Facing Giants Series

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Sep 24, 2019
     | 6,030 views

    "Facing Giants" from the David and Goliath story in 1 Samuel 17. The point is that our "giants" aren't always what they seem to be and neither are we. With the help of God we are greater than we imagine and the giants are smaller.

    1. We love the Underdog stories In February, 1980, the US Olympic Hockey team took the ice in Lake Placid, NY to face the toughest hockey team in the world – the USSR. Two weeks before in Olympic competition, the Russians beat the Americans, 12-2. That night, however, proved to be different. The US ...read more

    I’ve heard it said, “Real soldiers don’t know any civilians.” For those who make the military chaplaincy a career (the lifers), there is the danger of becoming institutionalized.
