    In this parable, we will see that one man came to the temple that day to worship himself. The other man came that day to worship the Lord.

    LUKE 18:9-14 "THE DOWNWARD CLIMB UP" September 14, 2025 This sermon is inspired by my time with the late Crawford Kimble. He told me a story of a young preacher, fresh out of seminary, a model student. He was given an opportunity to preach at a small church. He proudly and boldly walked ...read more

    In Hebrews 12:1–3. we see various aspects of the race, as they are compared to the faithful life in Christ. Christ calls us to 1) Race Freely (Hebrews 12:1), 2) Race Focused (Hebrews 12:2), and 3) Race to the Finish (Hebrews 12:3)

    In the ancient Isthmian games of Greece, a pedestal stood at the finish line, and on it hung a wreath—the winner’s prize. No one runs a race without some expectation of reward. The reward may be nothing more than a ribbon or a trophy or a wreath of leaves. It may be a prize worth a ...read more

    Like Moses, your pastor cannot and is not expected by God to do the work by himself. Like Moses pastors need others who will hold his arms high that they may be steadied and that he may be able to lead as God would have him do.

    We often find ourselves putting people in "boxes." Race, gender, and endless number of boxes. And it's limiting. We put limits on expectations of others and ourselves. As we follow Jesus, we watch him "blow up" the box around a man born blind.

    God desires for us to grow and mature in our faith, but we are slow to learn and reluctant to press on.
