  • Keeper of Promises

    As we come upon the Christmas season, we look back at God’s declarations about Jesus.  We talk about Mary and Joseph, the Wise Men, and even John the Baptist’s parents.  However, God’s promise of Jesus wasn’t a new thing.  Yes, we hear of the coming Messiah in the later prophets, but even King David speaks…

  • Other Worldly Thinking

    Pointing people to Jesus means we make every thought captive. Will you do it?

  • Bringing God a Sacrifice

    On Sunday we talked about worship.  However, we didn’t so much talk about the elements of worship like prayer, sermons, and music.  We talked about what those elements were supposed to do.  They are supposed to help us sacrifice.

  • Those Who Came Before

    Yesterday was Memorial Day. It is a day that we remember in this country what those who have gone before us have done. Our service men and women show us that freedom is worth it. It is worth fighting for even if one will never get to use it again. Think on that for a…
