Embracing Uncertainties
This week no doubt has been one like none other in the lives of the world and our church family. Our stories are all very similar; full of uncertainties. I have to be honest when all of this information for “social distancing” came into our lives I became very uneasy and trapped in my head. I was overthinking things and worrying too much. I am a very social human, as most of you know, and putting the limitations on the…

The Manger
Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests. Luke 2:11-14 This year at our annual Santa’s Workshop…

Finding Our Way Through This Season!
We refer to this time of year as the “Christmas Season.” It begins the night before Thanksgiving and ends the Monday after New Year. It is a stretch of the year when we seem to go from holiday to holiday. Most of us experience this time as a mixed bag. On the one hand there are things we look forward to and enjoy greatly. On the other, most of us have things about the season we dread. How do we…
FAITH TAKES ACTION!
“Blessed is the man who always fears the Lord, but he who hardens his heart falls into trouble.” (Proverbs 28:14) This Sunday, as we continue to look at the life of Elisha, we will look at 2 Kings 3. My desire is that we can discover that faith isn’t just something you talk about. It’s something you do. Faith is only activated when we act. We have faith in God when we do what he says. Proverbs 28:14 says, “Always…
Hearing the Voice of God
My sheep listen to my voice. I know them and they follow me. (John 10:27 CEB) This past Wednesday we started our next youth group discussion topic. Our question is, “How do we hear God’s voice?” This thought-provoking topic aligns with the fall all-church focus on prayer. To tackle this question I’ve enlisted the help of some experts on the subject of hearing God, specifically the late Dallas Willard. In Willard’s book Hearing God he points out what he calls…
What do we lack?
Jesus looked at him carefully and loved him. He said, “You are lacking one thing. Go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor. Then you will have treasure in heaven. And come, follow me.” (Mark 10:21 CEB) This verse comes out a familiar exchange recorded in three of the Gospels. Often called the story of the Rich Young Ruler. All three Gospel accounts tell us he was rich, in Matthew’s account we learn he was young,…

Lost Causes
3 Jesus told them this parable: 4 “Suppose someone among you had one hundred sheep and lost one of them. Wouldn’t he leave the other ninety-nine in the pasture and search for the lost one until he finds it? 5 And when he finds it, he is thrilled and places it on his shoulders. 6 When he arrives home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, ‘Celebrate with me because I’ve found my lost sheep.’ 7 In the same way, I tell…
