Where were you the morning of September 11, 2001?  Most of us know where we were and what we were doing.  I went to work as usual , walked into the break room and on the T V I saw it happen.   Two planes hit the World Trade Center Buildings.  What started out as a normal…

 If you are a reader and you read a good book, what do you usually do?   You tell others about the book and you give it to someone else to read.  I hope we all believe the Bible is a good book and I hope you share it with others.  The Bible  is  more than a…

I decided this week to do a study in the four gospels of the life of John the Baptist.  We know he and Jesus were cousins and that he was six months older than Jesus.  The Bible says he was filled with the Holy Spirit before he was born, so we know God had something…

 Max Lucado wrote a great book entitled, “Facing Your Giants.”  You can guess the book is centered around David and the time he went up against the Philistine giant, Goliath.  No one in Saul’s army was willing to face Goliath, but David was.  First Samuel 17 records the story.   Saul and his troops were terrified and…

 Have you ever heard of a man named Naaman?  Second Kings 5 tells us that he was a mighty warrior and commander of the Syrian army.  He had a lot going for him, but he had leprosy.   In spite of his success as a soldier he was miserable. The Syrian’s were the enemy of Israel  and they had…

Midweek Message ~ June 30, 2021 Sometimes we mistakenly think the lives of God’s faithful people are without problems.  God blesses those who are faithful, but as we read the Bible, it is clear God’s people face trials & problems just like everyone else.  Last week we saw how Abraham’s faith was tested when he was…

Midweek Message ~ June 16, 2021 How would you define faith?   Is it believing God when we can’t see what is around the bend?  Is it trusting God one day at a time?  Is it believing God’s plan for my life is better than my plan?   Our faith is revealed when I accept the uncertainties of…

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…
