    Do you know the word "trying" appears once in the Bible and it's not about attempting to do something and failing? Trying has become "the" excuse as to why we fail to do what God has called, empowered and commanded us to do.

    When Trying Stops Doing Starts Scripture: James 1:3; John 10:10; Mark 8:22-26; 11:22-24 The title of my message this morning is “When Trying Stops, Doing Starts.” I am trying! I am trying to do better! I am trying harder! I am trying to stop! I am trying to start! I am trying, I am ...read more

    If you’ve lost all hope, trust Jesus with your life, and don’t be surprised by His delays His devotion, and His deliverance when it finally does come.

    I share my story about a time I faced pancreatic issues, marital struggles, and contemplating suicide. As with the Psalmist, I cried out to God and he heard and that began a lifetime of service.

    Early august, 2022, I had the privilege of doing a presentation in Denver at the Rocky Mountain Symposium on Addictive Disorders, the Integration of Spirituality and Psychotherapy. The dialogue it stimulated was exciting, especially with the wide range of professionals attending. One counselor ...read more

    Abner Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Oct 2, 2022
     | 2,073 views

    The only engagement between the rival factions, told at length, is noteworthy since it was preceded by an encounter at Gibeon between 12 chosen men from each side, in which all 24 seem to have perished. Abner was defeated and put to flight in the general engagement that followed.

    Abner In the Hebrew Bible, Abner was the cousin of King Saul and the commander-in-chief of his army. His name also appears as “Abiner son of Ner,” whereas the more extended form Abiner means “my father is Ner.” Abner is initially mentioned incidentally in Saul’s history, first appearing as the ...read more

    Wouldn't be nice if the choice we have to make in life where black and white, simple and clear cut ... but they aren't. In Proverbs 7, Solomon uses a 'spicy' way to discussing how Sin can be right up in our face and yet we can't see it ... until it's too late.

    Last week we looked at Proverbs 9 in which Solomon contrasts Lady Wisdom with Lady Folly. Solomon attempts to make the choice between Wisdom and Folly as clear and as obvious as possible in the hopes of helping us to make the right choice. Would that it were that simple, amen, as making such an ...read more

    Psalm 32 - Acknowledging Our Sin Is To Be Our Regular Practice

     | 1,701 views

    Have you ever felt that your relationship with God has been, not just stagnant, but wooden and hollow, with no life, no relationship, no joy, no vibrancy or flourishing? Like it is forced and faked and empty?

    This morning we are looking at Psalm 32 and we find that it is written by King David. It’s a psalm paired with Psalm 51. They’re bound together. “Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your steadfast love.” And they’re bound together because the context of the psalm is 2 Samuel chapters 11 and 12. ...read more

    “Do not fear, only believe” and “give God time.” We may not be able to predict how or even when God is going to act but we can be certain that He will.

    As he rushed towards the shore, his heart sank as he saw how many people were already there. How was he ever going to get close enough to Him to plead for his daughter’s life … but still. He had to try. He would do anything to save his precious daughter’s life … even if it meant he had to fight ...read more
