12/17/23 Philippians 4:4-7 “The Only Sure Way to Peace!” I think I say this every year about this time. I can’t believe that it is almost Christmas. We are in the third Sunday of Advent. This is the Sunday of joy. You have heard me say...
12/10/23 2 Samuel 12:1-7a, 11-13 “You Have Been Busted!” This is the time of year when we are preparing for Christmas, hence the term Advent. We are preparing for the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, the Son of God and Lord of all...
12/03/23 1 Thess. 3:9-13 “Hope in a Hopeless World!” I would like to begin by wishing you a happy new year. Many may be thinking that I’m about a month ahead of time for this but that is for the worldly new year which will also...
11/26/23 1 Samuel 17:45-51 “Facing Your Giants!” I think that it is sometimes a little amusing how we have perceptions of other people that are totally out of whack. Last week I mentioned that one of the people I look up to is Billy Graham. I...
11/19/23 1 Samuel 13:6-14 “Choosing Right in a Wrong World!” I would like to say right at the beginning that I am really glad that I am as old as I am. I think that most people who are under, let’s say 21, wish that they...
11/12/23 Ruth 3:7-14 “What’s Love Got to Do with It?” I have noticed that being married to a language teacher has pros and cons although I cannot think of any cons at the moment. Anyway, I usually have to be careful what I say or I...
11/5/23 Judges 6:30-40 “You Can Go to Him Any Time!” I think that no matter where you are in life, at some time you have to make a hard decision. It’s probably not that big a deal in the scope of things around the world, but...
10/29/23 “And the Walls Came Tumbling Down” Joshua 5:13-6:1-5, 20-21 Recently, I heard of some groups honoring our First Responders and it got me thinking. Now before you say, “Oh, boy! Here we go again. We got the pastor thinking.” Hear me out. I would guess...
10/22/23 Numbers 13:17-33 “Facing Your Giants!” In case you haven’t noticed yet, I can be a little strange along with some of my ideas. I have always thought of life as a long series of yes or no decisions. In math we would call this binary...
10/15/23 Exodus 19:3-6, 10-16 “And the Mountains Shake” We have been covering a lot of ground these past few weeks and we will cover much more in the future. I know that this bothers some of you because we are leaving a lot out. I would...
