Starting Right

Over the years I have come to realize the depth of the truth of scripture that says, "His ways are not our ways...".   There are many times in scripture and in our lives that God asks us to do something that does not make sense to us.  But, when we follow his ways, it always works out right in the end.  Check out how God did this with his people in our story today. We would love to hear...

It has been great to be able to watch our church services online over the past couple of years, but sometimes we are missing the true power of church and church family when we are not there in person.  Today we look at Crowder's song, "In The House," where he reminds us that the church is the place were we are called to come together and have and encounter with and a celebration of...

Do you believe that God can do anything?  I mean... anything.   It is often too easy for us to struggle and doubt when the news is bad, or the answer is taking too long to come.  But the truth is that God can do anything. And often all he asks of us is to be faithful and wait.  Today we look at the lives of Abraham and Sarah, and how they had to learn to wait to be able to receive what had been pr...

Today's episode is one of my favorites.  It was originally broadcast on May 25, 2020 when the restrictions were being removed from the churches, for the first time, in the pandemic.  It takes place in a small country church in rural Manitoba.  It is a great story with a wonderful lesson about what going to church should be like.

We bring an abundance of worries into our lives with two simple words, "What if..."  Most often we use those words when we are considering negative results or consequences.   'What if I lose my job?'  What if the doctor report is bad?'   Our focus on the negative 'what if's' produces fear and worry that we do not need.   Today we talk about how to handle our...

We would love to hear your com...
