Today’s sermon is a journey back in time through the Bible to the book of Ruth. Imagine what it must have felt like to grow up afraid of the pagan god of your country. What must it have felt like to lose the man you married, and then to follow your mother-in-law to a new…
Have things ever gone wrong? Your carefully crafted plans fallen apart? You’re not alone. Jesus’ disciples never planned on Jesus’ death and when it happened, they reacted in ways we may find very familiar. Explore what we can learn from them and discover the courage to walk ‘off the map’ with Jesus. Scripture: John 21:1-6…
There is a case to be made for greed from a biological, political, psychological, and parental perspective. I will try to make that case based on Matthew’s story of another rich young man. But there are always two sides to a case. The Bible makes the case that breaking the 10th commandment may be our…
John’s gospel, written to believers who would remain after the one remaining apostle’s death, is a gospel directed to us today.

I wonder if the Sabbath keepers who sincerely follow Biblical Truth ever tell lies. Is there such a thing as a good…

This is when faithful followers of the Advent hope gather to worship, to share faith, to grow in their Bible understanding, and to find encouragement for living generously…
Welcome to my cave. It is dark in here. But I have 7 little lights above me and a nice warm fire. I have a story to tell about a 55-day long birthday party unlike any the world has ever experienced. It happened 1888 years ago. Scripture: Rev 1, John 12, John 13 “The Cave-man’s…
When Jesus walked the earth, He had a few close friends; people who brought him joy, comfort and companionship. Mary and her siblings were some of those precious few. Have you ever wondered how Mary might have experienced Jesus? What did she see, feel, hear, touch and taste as she wholeheartedly embraced this new teacher?…
