9/1/19 Matthew 16:21-28 “My Good and Faithful Servant” Today’s Scripture should be very familiar to all of us. Last week we talked of what is meant to be a Christian. Paul lays all of this out for us in his book to the Romans. Today we...
8/25/19 Romans 12:1-8 “A Bag of Oranges” I will be the first to admit that I have a hard time reading Romans. That is because there is no story here. There is no plot line to follow. That is not the way of the author Paul. ...
8/18/19 Genesis 45:1-15 “The Sin of Not Forgiving” This will be our last look at Genesis in our series this summer. I hope that you have enjoyed it as much as I have enjoyed doing it. Every week when I do my research for the week’s...

7/14/19 Genesis 25:19-34 “I’d Rather Have Jesus” I hope that everyone got to enjoy the 4th of July weekend a little. It’s always hard to get time off when the holiday is in the middle of the week but I hope you did. I got to...
7/7/19 1 Sam. 15:17-21, Psalm 51:1-4 “I’m Never at Fault!” Sometimes people think that pastors are some sort of super people. We don’t have problems and most of all we don’t make mistakes. This couldn’t be more false. We are just ordinary people like all the...
