    Being a good father is more than just bringing home a paycheck and meeting the physical needs of your children. It’s not enough just be a good father by the world’s standards; fathers need to be the spiritual leaders in their homes.

    What Makes a Good Father Proverbs 17:6 When asked what is a good father? One replier said, “A good father is one who provides and is always there when the child needs him.” 1 Timothy 5:8 tells us “… if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his ...read more

    A short message on when to speak.

    While the people were complaining, Pharaoh was rejoicing. From his perspective, Moses had made a tactical error. He had led Israel into a dead-end with some pretty ticked off Egyptians blocking their only way of escape. GOTCHA!!!

Was it just to judge Egypt for their harsh treatment of Jacob’s descendants? Was it merely a demonstration of his power? Was it ...read more

    True joy is not tied to circumstance but planted by the Spirit, anchored in Christ, and sustained by what is true, pure, lovely, and eternal.

    Introduction: A Cartoon Jingle Some of you may remember a wild cartoon from the 1990s that sang, “Happy Happy Joy Joy!” over and over again.
