Move
Summertime is upon us in full force and for most, this is a season of a little R&R. While you should rest, don’t let the life God has called you to live just sit and become stale all summer. Just before the apostles witnessed Jesus ascend into heaven, He told them to get on the [...]

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. ”No-one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come. – Mark 13:31-33 Ever since Jesus left from [...]

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 – “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always [...]
Read More...Outrageous Faith
We are about to wrap up our current message series, “Outrageous” and I’ve been thinking about one thing this entire time.

Proverbs 24:17 Don’t rejoice when your enemies fall;don’t be happy when they stumble Proverbs 24:17 Don’t rejoice when your enemies fall; don’t be happy when they stumble. It one thing to rub it in when you’ve beaten someone in your favorite card game. It’s a completely different story when we delight in someone who is actually in the category [...]
Read More...Thank You Notes
In our small group this week that we just kicked off on Sunday, we remembered those influential people in our lives that introduced us to the salvation found only in Jesus. Our challenge was to write that person a hand-written thank you note. It reminded me once again the importance of thankfulness. Not only thankfulness [...]
