    We all have the freedom to choose how we handle difficult situations in life. The best way to handle problems in life is not to seek the council of the world but instead be like Jesus during His arrest ... seek and obey God's will.

    The Way Up Is Down: Serve One Another Series

    Contributed by Dan Raymond on Mar 7, 2016
     | 11,608 views

    However, for many people, serving doesn't conjure up a positive image. Instead, they think of endless menial chores, cleaning up other people's messes, and catering to their vain whims. Yet the New Testament calls us to become servants of one another.

    What do you think of when you hear the word serve? No, I don't mean the opening hit of the racket in a tennis match. I'm not even talking about your waiter or waitress at Shiela’s. I mean what does a servant look like? What picture comes to mind? It's possible that you have a positive image. ...read more

    As I journeyed to see family this last week I drove through the great woods of Wisconsin. And I looked at the trees along the road, and they looked like bundled up cord wood ready for the fire.

    God was and is still in control. He can and will give life to that which appears to have shriveled up and died. Ezekiel’s vision has applications for our lives today. As in Ezekiel’s day, God is still in the business of giving hope to the dried up.

    There’s Hope for the Dried Up Ezekiel 37:1-14 The children of Israel had begun to lose their hope. The nation had dried up politically, spiritually, and morally. Many had gone into captivity. Despair and pessimism were rampant. Gloom and doom filled the air. They had become a dried up exiled ...read more

    Preparing for Christmas beyond decorating trees and writing cards.

    I have done it, and I cannot undo it. I have equated social media with that/this wild-eyed picture of John the Baptist. “You brood of vipers.” Polarizing. Negative. Scary, even.

    This message looks at the Believer's walk as we navigate a world of sinful humanity. We suffer from sin and we perpetrate sin. How then shall we live? How can we have a pure heart or like David become a person after God's own heart?
