    Championships are won when the stands are empty. We make daily choices that may not be glamorous but are foundational to our faith. Only in difficult times are the foundations tested.

Roger Haugen There is a slogan written on the walls of a football locker room somewhere that says, “Championships are won when the stands are empty”. When you think about it you know it is true.

    Much of our worship is designed to help us remember what God has done for us. But what about when we weren’t there?

    Did you know that a lot of what we do in our Sunday worship service is designed to remind us of things God has done? One of the most central matters of worship is the Lord’s Supper and even our table has the words “This do in rememberance of me” engraved on the front. David Bible sent me a cute ...read more

    Some people fill their lives with many things that never really bring full satisfaction. Jesus is the only person who can bring true satisfaction to your soul.

    Isaiah 55:1 – 3 reads, “Ho! Everyone who thirsts, Come to the waters; And you who have no money, Come, buy, and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do you spend money for what is not bread, And your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen diligently to Me, and eat ...read more

    The creation story tells us: 1) God brings order out of chaos, 2) God creates all things good, and 3) God always has our best in mind. All of creation shouts out God's love for us!

    Genesis 1:1-2:1 How it All Started Genesis 1 is one of the most beautiful, most carefully crafted sections of scripture. It’s kind of a mixture of poetry and prose. And its intent is clear: to show that God alone is creator of all. I heard about this one atheist scientist who came to God and ...read more

    God may not be prominent in the proceedings but He is present and sovereignly in control. God works out His purpose through people and fulfils His will.

    When we read the events of the last few chapters in II Kings, we did not see God appearing or saying much. But we know that He is the primary Actor. • He might not be prominent but He is present, and working behind the scenes even when we don’t see Him much. • We see that again in 2 Kings 11. ...read more
