Light & Dark

The definition of the word darkness is "the total or near total absence of light". Darkness only exists because of the absence of something. It is interesting to me that there is no source of darkness. There is no dark power source. Now, light on the other hand has a power source. If you walk...

Sweet and Simple

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." I believe this scripture has become nothing more than a neat T-Shirt idea for a lot of Christians. Even someone who does not know the Bible or even believe...

Not Forsaken

"God never made a promise that was too good to be true" D.L. Moody 2 Corinthians 1:20 "For all the promises of God find their Yes in him. That is why it is through him that we utter our Amen to God for his glory." This saying, "too good to be true" is often used...

Hope

I am going to be walking through 1 Peter 1:3-9 today and discussing hope. This past week Pastor Nick talked about hope and this is something that needs to be talked about even more these days. Let's dig in: 1 Peter 1:3-4 "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to...

Worldview

We are in the middle of a series right now titled, Worldviews. The description of this series is: A worldview is the framework by which we view reality and make sense of life and the world. Our worldview determines how we understand and identify God, man, truth, ourselves, and everything in between. As Christians, we...

True Prosperity

Euodoo - yoo-od-o-o - Greek word for the word prosper that means "to help on the road". It's funny to me that people take this word and the biblical idea of blessing and turn it into a carnal, materialistic thing. I hear people that follow the teaching of "prosperity" and use the blessing of Abraham...

Something Greater

You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So, you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference...

22

"The object of a New Year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul." Gilbert K. Chesterton "Jesus is a teacher who doesn't just inform our intellect but forms our very loves. He isn't content to simply deposit new ideas into your mind; he is...

The Thrill Of Hope – Stickers and Suckers

Ephesians 1:18 "having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints," Too often, I feel we treat God like our Sunday School teacher.  If we do well, we get a smiley face...

Sword Of The Spirit

Psalm 19:7 "The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple;" Proverbs 30:5-6 "Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. Do not add to his words, lest he rebuke you and you be...
