    So many of us build our lives upon things that will one day crumble: wealth, status, possessions, even health. But Paul reminds us to fix our gaze not on the sandcastles of this world but on what will last forever.

    Go! And Fix Your Eyes on What Will Last Forever 2 Corinthians 4:18 (NLT): “So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.” Introduction: Seeing the ...read more

    God’s steadfast love transforms us, enabling us to extend patient, kind, and honest love to others, even in difficult relationships and situations.

    If you’ve ever stood at the sink late at night replaying a hard conversation, wondering whether love can last through another week of deadlines, disappointments, or disrespect, you are in good company. Hearts get bruised. Words get sharp. People we care about act like porcupines. And if we’re ...read more

    Farewell Address at dinner by the Parish for my wife Lee and I. It has some humor yet I believe it touches the heart of who we are called to be in Christ. At the end I passed out 125 Red Wax Lips and and 125 signs that state "I Kiss Frogs" with a picture of a frog with big red lips.

    It just wouldn't feel right ... if I didn't begin with ... a story. And at the end of the story ... there is a little surprise ... that just might require a group picture. Well ...

     | 210 views

    This sermon unpacks the powerful paradox of John 12:24-25, teaching that like a seed that must die to bear fruit, we must surrender our lives to find true fruitfulness and life eternal.

    Introduction: The Unexpected King Let us transport ourselves to a moment thick with expectation. The city of Jerusalem is trembling with energy. Dust fills the air, mingling with the shouts of a jubilant crowd. The scent of crushed palm leaves is underfoot. It is the week of the Passover, and ...read more

    God sees and values our hearts over outward appearances, choosing and loving the overlooked and ordinary to accomplish extraordinary purposes through His grace.

    Maybe you walked in today carrying the sting of being overlooked. You’ve watched others get the nod, the promotion, the platform, while you’ve kept the sheep, cleaned the messes, showed up in quiet faithfulness where no one was clapping. If that’s you, take heart. Our God loves to surprise us. He ...read more

    The sermon calls us to seek God’s kingdom first, embrace repentance, and live out our faith together, trusting God to provide and guide us.

    If you came in today with a to-do list longer than a week and a heart full of what-ifs, you’re in the right place. The King is kind, and His words are clear. He speaks to grocery-getters and diaper-changers, to students and seniors, to the weary and the wide-awake. He leans close and whispers a ...read more

    God’s grace is a free gift we cannot earn; through faith, we receive His love and acceptance, not by our efforts but by His mercy.

    Some of us walked in today with hearts like clenched fists—trying to hold it all together, trying to square the accounts with God, trying to make sense of a week that wore us thin. We wonder if grace has a limit, if mercy has a meter, if love has a ledger. We keep a mental checklist: pray more, try ...read more
