    Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. Waiting. It seems that for the past couple of months that’s what we have been talking about. During the month of November we spoke of waiting and watching for the final coming of our Lord. We heard ...read more

She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. 8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An ...read more

    While many poeple may feel uncertain of what will happen to them when their life comes to an end, God wants us to know exactly what to expect. These words from 1 Thessalonians bring confidence and comfort to the Christian in the face of death.

    “I don’t know.” Those can be some of the most difficult words for us to say. To say, “I don’t know” is to admit that we don’t have all the answers. And we like to have answers because it makes us feel more in control, more secure, more prepared. That’s probably one of the reasons that doctors ...read more
