    This is the second of a series on the book of Romans. It focuses on our inability in any way to achieve grace, which of course is a gift freely given through Jesus Christ.

    David Is Made King Series

    David becomes King by God’s plan but as a result of a series of events which are sometimes ungodly in nature. God is able to use ungoldy actions by sinful men and women to bring about his good purposes in history.

    I think it’s easy to have a romantic view of the history of David as King of Israel. It’s such a great story isn’t it? The good looking shepherd boy who becomes king. The youngest son who is chosen and anointed by God to lead his people. The young lad who defeats the battle seasoned giant Goliath. ...read more

    THE PURSUIT OF TRUE PLEASURE IN LIFE.

    Recently I’ve had a desire to do catch-up between my soul and God. In part because I’ve wanted renewal as a pastor to grow in the depths of my own experience with God. But also because in a very short time I’m going to be fathering a young life. I realize it’s more than “how to’s” but what we ...read more

    We cannot expect to help others follow Christ well, if we haven’t learned how to do it ourselves. We must give attention to our own spiritual walk if we are to be effective disciples of Christ.

    Personal Faith First Luke 4:38-39 Imagine taking your car to be fixed by someone who has not prepared himself in car repair. Yep, that’s a Chevy! If that person’s car is sitting on blocks and the pieces are strewn about the yard, you might have questions. What is that car all about, an on ...read more

    After Judah had been told of future disaster and exile, Isaiah now tells them of the LORD’s comfort. When faced with trials of life how do we find the strength to go on? Listen to what Isaiah had to say...

    WORDS OF COMFORT FOR SHATTERED HEARTS “Comfort my people.” What brings you comfort? We speak of food as “comfort food”; food that reminds you of the growing up years when Mom filled the house with the fragrance of baking. For others comfort food is roast beef with potatoes smothered in gravy. ...read more
