Reflexions – 4.30.10
I have begun preaching through the Gospel of Matthew. At the pace we are going, it will be into 2011 before we finish, maybe longer! Part of this is my desire to see us return to the basic story of Jesus, part of it is a desire for us to see [...]

Friends,
Good afternoon! I hope this email finds you all well. May God bless you today and throughout the week!
Annie has started a Bible Study for women as part of our Wednesday night ministry, and she and I were talking about some of what she would be presenting tonight. As she shared, there [...]
Reflexions 3.26.10
One of the things that God can be most amazing at is taking your expectations, tossing them out the window, throwing something at you from out of left field, and then your being totally surprised and blessed by what He ends up sending your way. That has been the past few days for me.
First, God [...]

No Camels Allowed – Acts 10:9-23
Friends,
Fall is here, and the leaves are changing! It was a great day in worship today. We certainly rejoiced as we baptized one of our young people. I am excited about what God is doing in Tyler’s life.
As you listen to the sermon, I want you to think about the grace that God has offered [...]
Wearing Your Neighbor’s Ring – Mark 10:1-9
Friends,
What another glorious day to be in God’s house today! We were blessed to have 3 of our young people baptized during the service. Taking a cue from the meaning of baptism, I challenged us to rethink how we approach our marriages.
Just as in baptism we are to die to self and live for Christ, [...]
Living With Your Neighbors – 1 Timothy 5:3-8
Friends,
We started last week looking at the parable of the Good Samaritan and the important question – who is my neighbor? I wanted today to challenge us to look at the neighbors we live with. What I mean is – before we can love our neighbor next door and around town, we need to do [...]
Neighbors Place – Luke 10:25-37
Friends,
Another beautiful day today! God’s Creation has certainly been on full display here recently as fall is approaching. Yesterday my sermon came from the parable of the Good Samaritan. My hope was that as we studied and thought about the idea of loving God and loving neighbor that we would be reminded that the reason [...]
Generation to Generation – Matthew 1:1-17
Friends,
Today is Grandparents Day, and as I considered this I looked at Jesus’ family tree. As I looked at the story that is written within Christ’s lineage, I noticed that it was not a story of perfection, but a story of faith and perseverance.
We need our grandparents/seniors today as much as ever. We need them [...]
Reflexions 9.7.09
Probably everyone reading this has been stung by a bee before. Well, just a few days ago, as I was working in the backyard one got me…a yellow jacket…on the underneath of my arm. Ouch! Only one got me, but for those next few minutes it was hard to concentrate on anything else.
Know what I [...]
