July 4, 2021 Luke10:1-11, 16-20 “Don’t Settle for Fake Joy!” I have lived a lot in the last 70 years as do most people. My eyes were really opened when I became a pastor about 15 years ago. Until then I wasn’t really sure about how...
June 27, 2021 Galatians 5:1, 13-25 “You Have to Ask!” In this country we banter the word freedom around so much that it really doesn’t have much meaning. Let me give you a few examples. You say that you can go to this place and they...
6/20/21 Luke 8:26-39 “When Good Becomes Evil!” When I first started being a pastor 15 years ago, I had very little experience in most parts of ministry. I have held onto the Lord’s hand many times as I have stumbled my way through a series of...

5/23/21 Acts 2:1-21 “Do You Live in the Fog?” It’s getting to be a few years ago now, but I used to take part in two baccalaureate services every May. Sometimes it was even more exciting for me as I would give the sermon. I remember one...
5/16/21 Revelation 22:12-21 “How to Be One of the Richest People in the World!” There have been many times in my life when I have been accused of faulty thinking, and generally these people have been right. It seems that we see our own mistakes long...
5/9/21 John 14:23-29 “You Can Sleep When the Wind Blows!” Welcome all on this Mother’s Day. There have been many things said about this day and how we should celebrate it or how we shouldn’t celebrate it. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if there was...
5/2/21 Rev. 21:1-6 “We Are Going to Paradise” Well, here I am back in Revelation again after just telling you that I don’t go there very often. But I’m here again because I love to talk about how great eternal life will be. I wanted to...
