Psalm 130 I hope you are enjoying the season. I hope you have taken time to reflect on its significance to you, your family, and the world Too often we get sidetracked by the pressures and disappointments and, yes, even discouragements and hopeless feelings this time of year. Be honest. Where are you? I hope […]
Jonah 3-4 This Christmas season our nation faces deep divisions. The causes vary from how to handle the virus to how to handle abortion to how to handle our history to how to handle our economic structure going forward. These issues can cause strong emotions and disagreements even among believers. Perhaps during the season […]
Jonah 1-2 Some people think that there is a God of the Old Testament who is primarily characterized by judgment and the God of the New Testament is primarily characterized by mercy – law versus grace. Is that true? Join us over the next two weeks as we examine the message of perhaps one […]
Hebrews 13:18-25 As we celebrate Veterans Day today we remember and honor those who have served our country.

Hebrews 12 As we wind down our study in Hebrews the author drives his point home – a point that is applicable to us. It is easy for some of us to get excited about March Madness or, since it is October, the baseball playoffs or the Super Bowl. Perhaps we have had moments in […]
Hebrews 11:17-40 One of the most familiar verses from the book of Hebrews is 11:1 — Faith is the expected reality, the assurance of unseen events. As we looked at it last week we saw that faith is comprehending an unseen reality. It is really a pretty simple concept, but it is not so simple […]
Hebrews 11:1-16 Last Sunday at AWANA a boy asked a T&T leader a question. It was a good question and the teacher had a great answer. The question was “What does faith mean?” How would you answer that clearly for a 10 or 11 year old? Could you answer that question? What is faith? […]
