We have all  lived through very unusual and troubled times this last year.  Much of what has happened has divided the country and caused our feelings to be on edge.  Some have given in to our human nature  and allowed bitterness, anger and harsh words to enter our lives.   If our country is ever to…

I have a question for us to consider.  Does peace and calm always follow obedience?  Last Sunday my message was about Jesus feeding the 5000 with just 5 loaves and 2 fish. The purpose of His miracles was to meet a need but also to help convince them He was the Son of God.   Even…

As we read the New Testament part of the Bible,  have you ever noticed what motivated people to follow Jesus?   Some were fascinated by the words He spoke. A few followed because they believed He was the Messiah, the Son of God.  Some were trying to hear Him say something that they could use against…

The Bible reminds us over and over that God is the God of Hope in a troubled world. Jesus said in this world we would have trouble, but He has overcome the world and we can too if we will follow Him. [John 16: 33]  Paul wrote in Romans 8:28 that God can cause everything to work…

Billy Graham who was so well known world wide for his life and his crusades said, ” Every day I turn to the Bible to give me strength and wisdom for the day and Hope for the future.  It’s words have seen me through good times and bad.”   We all need hope for today and…

 As I write this message, it is 10 days before Christmas day.  I wonder  how many of us think of Christmas as a holiday or a Holy Da Our modern Christmas is nothing like the first one.  Can I remind us that  the first Christmas had nothing to do with lights on houses, elaborate trees decorated…

Pastor Louis Sneed I mentioned in my message last Sunday that James wrote that our lives are like the morning dew or fog.  The fog or dew is here for a little while and then as the sun comes up it is gone.  So it is with our lives. David wrote in Psalms 103: 15-16,…

Last week’s message was about the values God wants us to live by.  I focused on integrity.  Integrity is doing the right thing and living the right way [God’s way] when no one is looking.  Integrity is about being truthful about myself and truthful to others.  This week I want to talk about another value that…

 The Bible lets us know that even the most faithful and  Godly men of the Bible had flaws.  Genesis Chapter 12 reveals the faith that Abram had when God told him to leave his home and his father’s family and go to a place He would show him.  Because of his faith, it says Abram…

 My thought this week is about time. Think about how much time we are given to live and how we use the time we are given. We are all given the same number of minutes in each day but only God knows the length of time we will live.  The Psalmist wrote in Psalms 90 that we…
