Fully Devoted
Click here to read Acts 18. There are times we can wonder if what we are doing is really making a difference. We can work so hard but still not see the results we desired to see. Or it can be another way, we can see incredible results but not see them continue. People areContinue reading “Fully Devoted”
Expect the Unexpected
THE RUSH This is the Pentecost sermon preached on Sunday, June 4, 2017. Click here to read ACTS 2:1-2. WRITE “ORDINARY DAY” ON YOUR NOTES It was just another normal day. Everyone was gathered together. Everyone had been praying for the last 10 days. This was just another average day. Over the last 10 days,Continue reading “Expect the Unexpected”
Praying as Community
Click here to read the scripture for today: Acts 4:23-37. Peter and John have just been interrogated for their faith and belief in Jesus as the Christ, the Messiah, the Son of God. They could have easily went back and began a tirade of bashing the religious leaders; but they did something different. Instead ofContinue reading “Praying as Community”

I Believe in the Messiah
Ancient Creed, Living Faith Blog Series Part 2 I invite you to take time to read the scriptures today. Psalm 2 Why do the nations rant? Why do the peoples rave uselessly? The earth’s rulers take their stand; the leaders scheme together against the Lord and against his anointed one. “Come!” they say. “We will tear offContinue reading “I Believe in the Messiah”
John the Baptist
John the Baptist is one of my favorite biblical characters because he definitely stands out and people take notice of him. He is memorable, not only of his message, but of his clothing and food choices. Though the Gospel of Luke does not mention him wearing camel’s hair and eating locusts and wild honey, MatthewContinue reading “John the Baptist”
