Hey Family! We’re starting “The Story” this Sunday. I just want to give you a little more info. Let’s countdown from seven, because, well, it’s sounds fun. 7. Crack open Chapter 1 and read it before Sunday morning if you can. Here’s an idea: pretend you’ve never read the Bible before. Let the words fall…
Dearly Beloved, Getting old isn’t for sissies, but then neither is marriage, parenting or living in a fallen evil world. We are instructed to “fight the good fight of faith; take hold of eternal life to which we were called.” Have you taken hold of eternal life? There is someone whose desire is for you…
Ever been in an auto accident? I used a sad story at the beginning of a message I shared years ago. A pastor was traveling with his family in the Northwest. An oncoming vehicle lost control and crashed into their family car. The pastor lost in that tragic accident his: Wife Mother Two of his…

Hello dear friends, What makes a great gift? I’ve been thinking about it a lot recently because I got a truly excellent gift for the past Father’s Day. It was unexpected – I hadn’t talked about this item to my family. It is cool technology – c’mon, I’m a Dad! It is practical – so…

It was so great to come together last Sunday as we were able to reopen our doors! Whether you were inside, on the lawn, or online, we are glad you joined us. We celebrated six baptisms and what a joyous time it was. We continued in our series, “Beloved: Welcome to the Family of God”…
It seems like just last week that we were studying 1 Peter 3:8, “Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind.” The days of us needing to hear these words from God are far from over. Satan has done all he can to divide and…
