Obeying the Call God Has Given Every Believer

Obeying the Call God Has Given Every Believer

It is easy to have the mindset that reaching the world for Christ is the work of a few special people.  We hear the testimonies of missionaries and their work in other countries and are impressed at what they do and the sacrifices they make.  You might even be among the faithful that give and…

Happy Father’s Day!

Delighting in God’s Design

Communion Sunday

Communion Sunday

The observance of Communion, or the Lord's Supper, is one of two "ordinances" that God gave the church, the second being baptism.  Anyone with a Protestant or Catholic are familiar with both, though they are often looked at different ways.  In the message today, leading up to our observance, we are going to discuss a…

The End of the Story

The End of the Story

This week I was at a church building where I had performed a wedding for a young couple 15 years ago.  Tragedy hit that couple about 9 years after that wonderful, happy day, and I thought to myself, "We never know the end of a story, we never know how things turn out." But then,…
