Stand Firm in Grace
Click here to read today’s scripture Acts 4:1-22. Peter and John have been on the move proclaiming the gospel truth of Jesus Christ.

How would you doContinue reading “Stand Firm in Grace”
The Rush
Click here to read Acts 2:1-41. Chris LeDoux, a rock/country artist from the early 1990’s, sang a song called “Stampede.” It was about cowboy driving cattle from one place to another place. All was calm at night while they we trying to rest, until… They heard something that sounded like thunder. But when they lookedContinue reading “The Rush”
Waiting
Do you like to wait? There are times I have trouble waiting for my drink at McDonald’s to be poured, and I’m the one pouring it! Waiting is important and is something that is good for us to practice.
Let’s take a journey through the book of Acts.
SENT OUT with Identity
This week, we began a 5 part series in worship called “SENT OUT.” Jesus does not call us to live comfortable lives, be comfortable in our worship, or expect everything to go just right simply because we follow him.

Proclaiming God’s Forgiviness
We have several topics of conversation during the Christmas holidays. We’ll talk of love, family, weather (good or rough), relationships, parties, gifts, etc. Our conversations are around the goodness of the season. Yet, this is one of the most stressful times of the year. During this season, it seems we are more likely to beContinue reading “Proclaiming God’s Forgiviness”
Urgency
Today, we again look at the passage in Luke 21 of Jesus speaking about the end and the glorious return of the Son of Man. This time, I invite us to look at verses 34-36. “Be on guard so that your hearts are not weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of thisContinue reading “Urgency”
Reaction Time
