8/18/24 Luke 12:49-56 “Your Back Fire, to Be Safe!” I would like to begin this today with a question that you all pretty much know the answer to because you have to live with yourself. Are you an optimist or a pessimist? Are you the person...
8/11/24 Luke 12:32-40 “Are You Ready?” This has been quite a summer for Sharon and me. We have had the usual amount of company. We spent some time in Florida and that is really something to do in the summer heat. Then, of course and more...
Aug. 4, 2024 Col. 3:1-11 “Are You Slats of the Bucket?” I have noticed through the years that there are people who set goals and those that don’t. Goal setters will tell you that you have to have goals in order to succeed. Non-goal setters will...

June 30, 2024 Gal. 5:13-25 “When You Woke Up This Morning, You Were on His Mind!” I ran across this little story and I like it so I’m using it. It comes from Martin Wiles. Doctors continually tell us how important it is that we get...
6/23/24 Gal. 3:23-29 “First Came the Law, Then the Faith!” I’m rather glad that we don’t get a newspaper any more. I still get news on the internet and TV so don’t start thinking I don’t keep up on anything. It’s just that since we quit...
