What is the Message God promises to bless? What message would you tell to a dying man who is on the precipice of eternity?
It was probably 15 or 20 years ago when our church was meeting on Holman Way when I ran into a youth group leader about 20 minutes before a Bible Study on Wednesday night. Her name was Caroline, and I asked her how she was doing. She said okay, but in such a manner that I knew she definitely was ...read more

John doesn’t blink when he says the ultimate reason the Jewish people don’t believe is because of God. What you are seeing in Jesus’ ministry is the same that Isaiah saw in his ministry. God has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts.
One of the biggest challenges for the early Christian leaders was how many Jews were rejecting Jesus. The first two things Jesus’ disciples say about him in the Gospel of John are “We have found the Messiah” (John 1:41). And, “We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and also the prophets wrote, ...read more

Grip the gospel daily—remember, receive, redirect, rely—and the Spirit will help you guard God’s good deposit.
One of the typical characteristics of our children—maybe yours too—was that they enjoyed playing their music loud. Not just loud… LOUD. The kind of loud that rattles the drywall and makes the dog rethink his loyalty to the family. One day, while I was getting dressed, I heard music thumping ...read more

Certain aspects of various Church doctrines have divided the church and created multiple denominations and divisions requiring great debate and careful thought to biblical interpretation.
Today, I will present a short summation of the dominant schools of theological thought in the Church to help provide a cursory understanding of them. "Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways! For who has ...read more

Romans 8 C Confidence in God’s Love John Bunyan was a preacher from the 1600’s. He preached the Gospel. In those days, one was only allowed to preach what the Church of England told you was appropriate. Bunyan refused to allow anyone but the Holy Spirit tell him what to preach, and preached the ...read more
Scripture: Romans 8:28-39
We sing songs to the God who can be trusted to pull us out of the pit, and put us on dry ground. Part of what "faith" is, is choosing to have confidence that God will come through for us.
Today, we have the privilege of working through Psalm 40. Let's start by reading verses 1-4 (Hebrew numbering throughout, my apologies): Of/for the director. Of/for David. A Psalm. (1) Surely, I waited for Yahweh, and He stretched out to me, and He heard my cry for help, (2) and He ...read more
Scripture: Psalm 40:1-17
As we think about all that Luke 9 is about, I want you to please begin to think where you are at in your relationship with Jesus. I want to help you FOLLOW Jesus and so it is good to critique, pray, think, and ruminate on how we are doing in our relationship with God.

God invites us to move beyond cynicism, trust His surprising work, and expect transformation when we honestly bring our doubts and hopes to Jesus in prayer.
Some of us carry a quiet weariness. We scroll headlines, hear hard news, and think, “Here we go again.” Cynicism creeps in like a cold draft. We start to shrink our hopes, trim our prayers, and settle for safe, small expectations. We wonder if real change is possible. We wonder if God still ...read more

Trusting Jesus, not our own strength, enables us to persevere through life’s burdens, as He carries us and completes our faith journey.
Friend, if your shoulders feel a bit slumped today, if your breath is a bit short and your steps a bit slow, you’re in the right place. You’re in a sanctuary where God knows how tired feet feel and how heavy hearts carry what no one else sees. You’re seen, you’re loved, and you’re not forgotten. ...read more

God’s grace meets us in our sin and need, offering true freedom and acceptance through faith in Jesus, not our own efforts.
Some of us arrived today feeling like life has been a long hallway of closed doors. You knocked on the door of good intentions and it stayed shut. You jiggled the handle of self-improvement and it wouldn’t budge. You leaned your ear to the keyhole of religious busyness and heard only your own ...read more

Possible causes of anger in people today and what to do about it
WHY ARE WE SO ANGRY? 1999 by Mark Beaird Text: Ecclesiastics 7:9 "Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit, for anger resides in the lap of fools."

Rahab's giving of herself for a newfound faith.
Today is stewardship Sunday. Today, we remember the truth that all that we have is God’s. To be a steward is to manage property for someone else. And it is our job to make decisions with that property for their best interest. I think we often think of stewardship as the idea of deciding what ...read more
