The Ultimate Father
Happy Father’s Day! Today I want to talk about the ultimate Father, our Father in heaven. For some of us today is a great day. We have men of God, Father’s, spiritual or physical, who have led us on a journey toward Christ and loved us and been there for us. For...
God and You
Have you ever wondered what this is all about? I mean seriously. When the house is quiet, when you're laying in bed and thinking about what you have or have not accomplished, do you sometimes wonder what in the world am I actually doing here? This seems so random! I...
Our Shepherd
We are going to kick off a summer long series today called, “Summer in the Psalms”. A little bit of a pun there, not quite palms but they are close. Sort of like palm trees, Psalms can provide us with rich provision and life in a dry and weary land. Palms can provide...
In The Fight
Two things before we start. One, this is for the one who is struggling. I think when people say, I am struggling with my relationship with God we miss the opportunity that that is. Struggle, by definition, means to make strenuous or violent efforts in the face of...
The Trap of Deception
I want to talk about a not so good mom in the Old Testament and a very dysfunctional family. We have a lot we can learn from them, that way we don’t make the same mistakes they did. Our passage is Genesis 27, and our topic is the trap of deception. Deception...
Selling Out
I want to talk about selling out. We all sell out for something. When we sell out on the things of the world we make a bad investment. Our life, the Bible says in James 4:14, is a vapor. And we get one short window to decide what we will sell ourselves out to. The...
Sent by our King
Let me start with this, every single point in this blog starts with “Christ”. I say that not to make your note taking easier but because it just reinforces the point of this message: it all starts with Christ. The main idea of our topic is this: we are sent by our...
Fairness
Life isn’t fair, and neither is the gospel… and boy am I glad that is true. Has anyone in here ever heard your parents tell you as a kid, “Life isn’t fair?” Today, I want to talk about fairness. This parable in Matthew 20:1-16 isn’t very fair, in fact, the...
Doubting Jesus
Have have you ever doubted Jesus before? I sure have! Today, I want to consider how we should approach doubt in the kingdom of God. As followers of Jesus, living in a broken world and sinful bodies that sense and feel real human emotions, it is natural to doubt. But...
This Changes Everything
The main question I want to ask you today is if the resurrection a powerless clique that you’ve heard your whole life, or a life changing reality that changes every aspect of your being and empowers you to be the person God has called you to be? This changes...
Learning From Rejection
Today I want to talk about what we can learn from the three times Christ is rejected in Luke 22:39-62. First, the Father rejects Jesus. In Luke 22:39-4 Jesus is experiencing a medical condition called Hematidrosis. This is a rare condition that causes someone’s sweat...
A New Covenant
We all subscribe to things. For some of us it is YouTube channels. Others subscribe to podcasts or television stations. What do these subscriptions have in common? They all contribute to how we think and what we believe. I wanted to talk about the New Covenant that...
