6/22/25 Matt. 10:24-39 “Sharpen Your Axe!” Sometimes I like to leak out some little known facts about me. This really doesn’t matter in the slightest to anyone but for years I never subscribed to a newspaper. I never read them because they were/are such a downer. ...
6/15/25 Gen. 3:8-15 “The Perfect Track Record!” I think that you all know that I have been doing this for many years but I’m always open to improvements. I started to write this a couple, three weeks ago and I started as I always do. I...
6/8/25 Genesis 1-2:3 “The Perfect Sundae!” One part of my job description as a pastor that we don’t think about that often is that I’m supposed to read and think. Most of you should know by now that is a dangerous combination for me. Here is...
5/25/25 Acts 17:22-34a “Keep It Simple” This is one Sunday of the year when we remember those who have gone home to heaven. We honor our veterans on this day which is a good thing. However, we can honor all of our loved ones as well....

May 4, 2025 Luke 24:13-35 “Are Your Eyes Open or Closed?” I know that we do things that we might not normally do when we act on the spur of the moment. Here is a case in point. At times I think that we all judge...
4/27/25 Acts 4:32-35 “Let the Holy Spirit Take You!” I hope you all had a very good Easter. Ham dinners are now the tradition at Easter. I don’t know what the Jewish people would say about this because they still don’t eat pork. I don’t know...
4/20/25-Easter John 20:1-18 “Go and Tell Everyone!” Once again, I would like to wish everyone a very happy Easter. It is hard for me to believe that we have been pastoring for19 years. This is our 19th Easter as a pastor. Time sure flies. I also...
4/6/25 1 Peter 4:7-11 “Don’t Leave Your Gift Under the Tree!” I remember very clearly when I took the psychological test for being a pastor. They told me that I really didn’t have what it takes. For one thing, I would try to let someone else...
