I wanted to expound just a little more on something I shared this past Sunday morning. Prior to my pastoral prayer, I challenged the congregation to be less like a Tyrannosaurus Rex, and more like a red-cheeked gibbon. What does that mean?! Glad you asked!
A T-Rex, one of the largest of the dinosaurs, had short, [...]

In Obedience to His Command – Genesis 6:9-22
Friends,
Our journey through the story of Noah and the Flood continues, and this past Sunday we looked at the beginnings of God speaking to Noah and laying out His plan for the flooding of the world.
In this passage, we see the declaration of the righteousness of Noah, God’s righteous judgement, God’s loving faithfulness, and the [...]
The Heart of God – Genesis 6:5-8
Friends,
Another great day to be in God’s House! It was truly a blessing to have Matt from the IMB share with us in worship. Please keep him in your prayers as he and his family head to Japan next Wednesday.
In my message I started us in a study of Noah and the Flood. There is [...]
Who’s Right? – Romans 12:17
Friends,
Another great day to be in the House of the Lord! In the past few weeks, I am finding myself more and more drawn into God’s Word and His Holy Scripture. Not that I avoided it before, but I am even more motivated to get to know Him through the Bible. Part of this was [...]
Living With Urgency – John 4:35-38
Friends,
What a wonderful time of worship this past Sunday! We were tremendously blessed by NAMB missionaries Pedro and Marisa Sanchez and their family. Taking a cue from the theme for the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering, I preached on John 4:35-38 and looked at how we should be “Living With Urgency.”
I challenged us to think about [...]
Reflexions 3.6.09
Friends,
I found myself thinking about the idea of stewardship this morning. What do we do with the physical, intellectual, financial, material, spiritual, etc. blessings that God has so abundantly given us?
Certainly we have heard that we are supposed to tithe, or give 10%, of our finances to God, and I believe most of us [...]
Ridiculous Love – John 4:13-15
Friends,
What a great time of worship this morning! Despite the weather, many came out and were witness to one of our young people coming forward for baptism. Give God the glory for what He has done this day!
We read through the story of Jesus talking with the woman at the well in John 4. As [...]
Reflexions 2.25.09
Friends,
Have you ever felt powerless in a situation, maybe in most of your life? Ever felt like you have no control over what is happening around you, that you are just bouncing from obligation to obligation?
I was thinking about how much (or little) I let the Bible control my life and my decisions. So [...]
Ridiculous Love – Romans 3.21-26
Friends,
Another great day to be in the House of the Lord! Last week I talked about “Ridiculous Faith”, and today I looked at the story of Christ on the Cross and spoke of “Ridiculous Love.” When we look at the story of how the Creator of the entire universe could be so concerned that He [...]
Ridiculous Faith – Psalm 34
Friends,
What a beautiful day to be in worship today! This past week I saw several instances of people putting their hope and faith in places other than God. Whether it was Obama, our Congress, sports stars, actors, pop stars…well the list goes on. We have some real problems in this world…some of them may be [...]
