EASTER SERMON SERIES: JESUS GIVES LIFE
Jesus invites you to life. He is the way, the Truth and the life, and no man comes to the Father, except through Him. Jesus offers eternal life and a meaningful life now, a life of relationship with God and with others. This life is only found through Jesus.
Keep ReadingDon't Miss Christ During Christmas: Suggestions for the Christmas Season
Consider doing some (or maybe all) of these things this Christmas Season. You'll have more margins and opportunities to encounter Christ this Christmas Season and more opportunities to reflect Him to others as well.
Keep ReadingBe Courageous and Love Well
Christians must stand firm, in love, shining the light of Christ brightly in a lost culture that is increasingly embracing violence and darkness. We cannot shrink back. We cannot compromise and we cannot respond with unholy anger. God has placed us here for such a time as this.
Keep ReadingA Christian Response to God and Disasters
We live in a fallen, broken world where there is much suffering and pain. The terrible flood that (at this point) has killed thirty two people, at least twenty-seven young children raises questions for us as Christians. What are we to make of such things? What is God saying? What is our responsibility as His children?
Keep ReadingEmbrace These Truths, Part Two
This post is part two of a Blog series entitled "Embrace These Truths." The series seeks to address some of the cultural lies that often infiltrate churches and lead Christians astray. It is vital that we, as Christians, have a Biblical view of life and reality as opposed to a cultural view.
Keep ReadingEmbrace These Truths, Part One
It is imperative that we, as Christians, know the Word of God so we might walk in Truth and not be deceived by lies.
Keep ReadingThe great need for our church, for all churches, for our communities, our city, our nation and our world is for God to show mercy to us, and to revive us and reform us, that we, His people, might glorify Him and reflect Him to a lost and dying world. Our great need is to be consumed with a passion for the glory of God and to love Him more than we love anything or anyone. Our culture desperately needs Christ as well. He is the only Hope we have. Now is the time for the people of God to seek the Face of God and to cry out for mercy.
As I prepare to leave for Sabbatical, I not only want to say 'thank you' to the church family, but also praise and thank God for the wonderful things He is doing. I also want to encourage you all to keep your eyes on Him and continue to move forward in faith!
Our church is in a season of prayer and fasting. We are praying for revival in our church and for an awakening in our nation. As we entered this season of prayer, Russia invaded Ukraine. The world is watching in horror as an evil autocrat with a large nuclear arsenal seems prepared to do anything to regain the 'former glory' of the old Soviet Union, even to the point of threatening nuclear war. Many Christians have questions and wonder what these days mean and what they are to do. The answer is simpler than you might think, but it's difficult in that the answer forces us to deal with sin in our lives and our divided hearts. We must pursue Him in humility, in prayer, and we must be about His business.
Christmas could (and should) be much more than what we have reduced it to in our culture, and that includes church culture. This Christmas, let us reflect on how serious, and glorious, the incarnation is and what it means.
