Is someone's faith living on in you? Will your faith live on? In who?

2012 05 06 | Scripture: Matthew 5:8 | You Know You Want To

Is it possible to ever get a house truly clean? You know you'd like to be able to, but... Is it possible to ever get yourself truly clean? You know you'd...YES. Oh, dirt creeps back in almost from the moment you stop cleaning, BUT, if you work at it regularly, daily, bit by bit, cleaning your house and your heart can be more possible than you think.

2012 04 29 | Scripture: Matthew 5:5 | Letting Go

You know it isn't right. You know you have to change. You know. But will you? It's your choice.

2012 04 08 | Scripture: Romans 12: 1-8 | Be Transformed

You'll know when God is nudging you to sacrifice, and where. And you'll know if it is a sacrifice of time, talent or treasure. But will you actually "sacrifice?"

2012 04 01 | Scripture: Colossians 3: 1-4 | Don't Go There

Distractions abound. How in the world can you focus on Christ? Keep your eyes on Jesus. Be in the world, not of it.

2012 03 25 | Scripture: Luke 3: 15-16 | Is Your Wood Wet?

John the Baptist told his followers when they asked if he was the Messiah that he was only the messenger. That 'another' was coming. That he baptized with water but the 'other' would baptize with fire. We each require baptism in water and fire to live the life of Christ. Have you accepted the water? Are you burning with God's inner fire?

2012 02 26 | Scripture: 1 Kings 19:9-13 | That Gentle Whisper (Guest Speaker: Pastor Sam Geiger)

The pace of our lives today many times does not afford us the ability to be still. We search for answers and security through strength and might.

Jesus died and rose again. If you believe in Him, you will also.

2012 02 12 | Scripture: Isaiah 53: 4-6 | Jesus Did It

Sometimes, maybe most times, when we accomplish good thing we say, or at least think to ourselves, something like, "Wow. I did that. I actually DID that. How cool am I!" When we ought to be saying out loud, to others around us, something like, "Wow. I couldn't have done that without Jesus/the help of God/the Power of the Holy Spirit/etc." Think again: Did we just 'Do' that? Or... Jesus did it, through us.

2012 02 05 | Scripture: Psalm 41: 4-13 | You Gotta Give a Little.....

She's mad at you; He ignores you; They seem to hate you. So you dislike, even hate, them back. Relationships: SICK. Same scenarios, but God will lead you to discover ways to love them back instead. Relationships: Healed? If not, you are. God will show you how to love, especially the ones you do not like.

2012 01 29 | Scripture: Exodus 15: 22-27 | The Elixir of Life

We all get sick. Some day every one of us will die. And God always heals us when we ask Him to. The greatest healing of all is the one we receive after the illness, and after our death. Dare we believe it?

2011 12 11 | Scripture: 1 Samuel 1: 21-28 and Luke 1:14 | Give Your Kids This Christmas

Sacrifice means "to give up something we love." Sacrifice is hard, but the pain is sweet when we sacrifice our own time, talent, and treasure to God's will. The sacrifice we can offer for our children is to give them up to God as well.

2011 12 04 | Scripture: Matthew 1: 18-25 | No Fear!

2011 11 27 | Scripture: Luke 1: 39-45 | I'm A Believer!

God is asking. I don't know what He's asking you, but He's asking me to do...something. Dare I say "no?" Mary didn't. Even though every one of her dreams for life changed at the moment she said yes. We must say YES, no matter what, if it is God doing the asking.

2011 11 20 | Scripture: Revelation 1: 4b-6 | Who's Your King?

2011 11 06 | Scripture: Romans 15: 4-6 | Need Hope? Read God!

The Bible is not confusing, irrelevant, old news or wrong: IF you read it as the voice of God speaking directly to you.

2011 10 30 | Scripture: Luke 16: 19-31 | LISTEN UP!

All of us are strangers to someone. Wouldn't we like to be treated by 'them' as guests? Hospitality begins with us.

2011 10 02 | Scripture: 2 Corinthians 9: 8-10 | Grace Is Enough

Grace didn't start as a woman's name. It was first offered to mankind by a Creator God who deeply loves His creation, offered again and again and rejected by most over time, and finally affirmed by a baby lying in a manger. Why is grace so important? Because grace is enough.

2011 09 25 | Scripture: Matthew 18: 15-18 & 25-27 | Are You Living In Denial?

We believe we are Christian, but do we dare say so? St. Francis is said to have uttered these words, "Spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and if necessary, use words." Friends, it's necessary.

2011 09 18 | Scripture: Matthew 18:1-5 | Welcoming Children Welcomes YOU

We want to be like children sometimes at amusement parks, but dare we return to the trust of a child where God is concerned? Unless we become like children in our trust of God, we won't even get to ring the bell at the pearly gates.

When your bile begins to boil, turn down the oven. When your vision begins to glaze, your face begin to burn, or your mouth prepare to spout things you will be so sorry you said, mentally walk into a cold storage locker.

Self control is hard. It's hard enough with dangerous substances like alcohol or drugs, but with common necessities like food, it's even harder. So God places people in our lives who, if we connect with them, will help us, even as we help them, stay on the straight and narrow path of Christ. Party with people on the right path.

2011 07 03 | Scripture: Luke 12: 13-21 | Watch Out!

Greed. No one thinks they are greedy. Don't we all give of ourselves in God's name to others? Maybe. But maybe we give less than God wants us to. Or maybe we give for the wrong reasons. And maybe we've just given so long we've decided to "retire" from giving our time, talents or treasures anymore. But where does God tells us it's time to retire from giving?
