    We might think to ourselves, "I do love Christ, so why am I not doing what he has called me to do? Am I afraid of actually doing what he is calling me to do?" We can do everything Jesus is calling us to do. All we have to do is rely on him.

    The theme of this Easter season is redemption. Jesus died to save us from our sins and to restore our relationship with God. The readings from Acts 9:1-20 and John 21:1-19 that we heard earlier in this service are good examples of Jesus' work of restoration. Paul's transformation was one of the ...read more

    David had waited such a long time, for God’s promise given to him through the prophet Samuel. The promise was simple: You will be king. The moment has come, and David becomes King at Hebron over the tribe of Judah.

    David trusted God for years and years. He trusted God as his enemies closed in around him. He trusted God as he lived in caves. He trusted God even when he was alone and on the run. He trusted God when Saul tried to kill him. He trusted God when he was an outcast. At last, the time had come. David ...read more

    The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell

    For many of God's children there is no progress, no forward state, in their spiritual life and in their earthly life, but dryness, weariness, and decay. Thinking about what is the reason, it is not possible to find that reason. But God is in grace to speak on the subject of man's tongue, or ...read more
