Sunday Worship (Page 13)
As I have met people on my travels to various places around the world, they eventually find out where I’m from. While it doesn’t happen as much as it used to, many people would say, “Oh haha, then, ‘Do you know the way to San Jose?’”, like I’d never heard that before! The 1968 song…
A guy named John is asked “Who are you?” and is given a whole bunch of options to choose from. Each choice would reveal something about him, but none of them would reveal the MOST important element of who he really is. This Sunday we’ll cover chapter 23 in The Story and see the very…
Dear Warriors, We do not live in a friendly world. Every day we battle behind enemy lines with the world, the flesh, and the devil. We all need to remember that the weapons of our warfare are not physical, but they are mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds. This Sunday we…
Dear Sojourners, What kind of people does God use? We have been racing through the Old Testament the last 21 weeks.

Dear Church Family, I hope your soul is strong and vibrant. I talked to Anna Aseltine on the phone last Tuesday as I was driving around. Let me just say, I she think she charged up my iPhone with her electricity and zeal for the Lord. And she charged me up too. I felt a fresh…

Dearly Beloved, Fill in the blank, “If it ain’t broken don’t __________? What if it is broken? Most of us would respond by saying, “then fix it!” However, there are some things that are exceedingly difficult to fix, and broken relationships top the list. The history of human life from Adam and Eve forward is…
Happy New Year, The Lord of heaven and earth does not pull any punches! You may not be familiar with that phrase, but it means “to behave unrestrainedly, holding nothing back.” This expression comes from boxing, where to pull one’s punches means “to hit less hard than one can.” We find ourselves in the 17th…
Hey Church Family, Starry Night weather update This just in – a little change in plans. Because of the weather, we’ll move the “program” part of Starry Night (starting at 5:00 PM) inside the Worship Center. As for the activities starting at 4:00 PM, we’ll be outside under the stars (children’s crafts, cookies and hot…
Dearly Beloved, Merry Christmas! I hope you have not only a special Christmas but a “blessed Christmas.” I can assure you that it can become reality for you, as I have it on good authority, “Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy and heeds the things which are…
