Grace
When you look up the word grace in Christian terms, you generally find it defined as “God’s favor toward the unworthy” or “ God’s benevolence on the undeserving.” Ephesians 2:8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 2 Timothy 1:9 He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace.…
My Go-To Scripture
As I sit here writing this devotional, I think of how many times I ponder my go-to Scripture. We each have several, but I have one that steps out in front of the others. The Scripture is: John 14:1- Don’t let your heart be troubled. You Believe in God; believe also in me. I know. You hear it at every Memorial. It was spoken at all three Memorials in June. In fact, at my ordination review, Reverend Jim Clifton, ask…

Walking With the Lord
As we walk with the Lord we never know where the path will lead, but if we are faithful to listen and obey He will fulfill our hearts’ desires. Throughout my walk with the Lord, I have learned that I do not need to know where God leads, I just need to be obedient. When God called me to Spokane First it was the biggest step out of my comfort zone that I have ever taken, and it has been…
JOY, No Matter What
Philippians 1:12-26 There’s no such thing as a problem-free life. If we’re going to learn to be full of JOY, we must learn to be joyful in the situation, in the problems, and in the very experiences of life. Joy is internal and can be and should be constant. The background for today’s text is that Paul for the last four years has been in miserable circumstances. He’s spent two years in prison in Caesarea for a trumped-up charge. Then…
SFNAZ Devotional – June 23, 2022
1 Timothy 4:12-Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity. Timothy was a young man who desired to serve the Lord yet he had certain weaknesses that hindered his confidence. Young is relative! I consider myself young in the wholeness of life, but when I hear this verse, I automatically think of my children. How can I as a parent…
Significant Growth
Over the last few weeks, we have seen a lot of celebrations as students are completing their journey of high school. As a parent of one of those graduates, I begin to reflect as a parent on my daughter’s journey. As she moves on to the next chapter I begin to look back at how God has prepared her for this next step. In my reflections, God placed John 15:1-4 in my path this week. It was a beautiful reminder…
Pentecost Sunday
We pull into the upper parking lot at Church. Wyatt backs into the same parking space he always does. The gentleman at the door, is 99 ½ years young. We will call him Winfree. As soon as Winfree sees us, he rises from his chair to hold the door open for us. I could call him a door man or a greeter, but he is so much more than that. We go in to say hello to the early morning…

From Knowing It to Living It
Beginning with Romans 12 Paul begins explaining the practical application to truth revealed in ch.1-11. Faith in Christ is the pathway to righteousness. Circumcision of the heart by the Spirit is the real mark of belonging to God & a member of His family. The line of the covenant is by election, not heritage, through God’s call, not works. Righteousness that leads to holiness which assures us of eternal life is God’s gift to all who believe, & completely trust…
