Send us Fan Mail Just because you have made dumb decisions in the past does not mean that you are stuck in those consequences. And just because you have made dumb decisions in the past does not mean that you are somehow incapable of making good decisions today. God offers an awful lot of grace and mercy to people just like us. Nevertheless, here is a warning against making rash decisions by a surp...

Send us Fan Mail A local news station surveyed over 400 people, asking about their New Year’s resolutions for 2024. 59% said they want to save more money this year. 50% said they want to exercise more. 47% want to eat healthier, and 40% want to spend more time with family and friends. Which ones do you think will stick? Many people make rash decisions when it comes to New Year’s resolutions, and t...

Send us Fan Mail Looking ahead to 2024, there will be a lot of things that we have no control over: world events, prices of things, even illnesses. But there are some things we do have control over: both how we respond to such things and how we prepare for the unknown. When Peter said that we are to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, there are some practical thing...

Send us Fan Mail New Year’s Eve is a great time to reflect on the past year – what you’ve been through, what God has done, changes in life. But it is also a great time to look forward to what is ahead, or as Paul might say to “press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” Peter said we are to being growing in Christ. So what are some of those practical things we c...

Send us Fan Mail The BC-world was a different place than we know. We like to think that everyone was anticipating the coming of Messiah. The reality was more like everyone looking out for themselves, living life, and just trying to get by. Life has to be more than that, though. Thank God for Christmas!

Send us Fan Mail This sermon was preached on Christmas Eve, the day before Christmas. Have you ever given thought to what the world was like on the first Christmas Eve, the day before the first Christmas? For us it is a day of great expectations. But for the people in Bethlehem, it would have been a day filled with busy activities and little room for thinking about spiritual things.

Send us Fan Mail What is your favorite song? We all seem to have one. Yours may be a different musical style than someone else, but it is still your favorite. It still the song that touches your heart more than any other song out there. Did you know that God has a favorite song? The prophet Zephaniah talks about Him singing, and he puts you right there in the middle of it.

Send us Fan Mail  It is easy to imagine Jesus being the object and recipient of our worship, that when we sing, we sing TO Him and we sing ABOUT Him. Yet the Bible also says that Jesus Himself sings, that He sings in praise and worship. Right alongside His brethren, He lifts up His own voice and sings songs of worship to the One True Living God. That gives me all the more reason to sing in praise.

Send us Fan Mail Christmas is the time we celebrate the coming of Messiah, or as Zechariah says, the coming of our King. When we think about the arrival of a king, we think parades and confetti and music. Our King came, and no one would have noticed if the angels had not told and the Wise Men had not been on the lookout for the star. Our King came quietly in humility. That’s because His birth wasn...

Send us Fan Mail We hear that Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. What really makes it so wonderful is that it is a time for us to celebrate the incarnation, when God became a man. It is the most significant arrival in human history. No wonder we go to such lengths to celebrate it. Our King has come, just like God promised.

Send us Fan Mail By asking the question, What do the people of puerto rico need the most, we aren't trying to single out Puerto Rico to the neglect of people in other places. In fact, the reality is that the most important needs are the same no matter where you go. But after visiting Puerto Rico in search of a mission partnership, this message is a response with that island of over 3 million...

Send us Fan Mail Last week, Pastor Tim was a part of a vision trip to Puerto Rico with the North American Mission Board.  They spent two full days meeting with church planters aross the island.  They heard about the needs those church planters have and that the communities around them have. We are hoping to see if God might open up an avenue for missions partnership there.  This message is a respo...

Send us Fan Mail The title track for Zach William’s Grammy Award winning album, Fear is a Liar, says this in its chorus: Fear, he is a liar / He will take your breath / Stop you in your steps / Fear he is a liar / He will rob your rest / Steal your happiness / Cast your fear in the fire / 'Cause fear he is a liar. God’s Words tells us that we can have freedom from fear, and Paul explains that...

Send us Fan Mail  Franklin Roosevelt famously said, “We have nothing to fear but fear itself.” That’s sounds good, but it’s not true. There are a multitude of things that strike fear in our hearts. But we do not have to be dominated by any of them. Paul tells his young protégé Timothy that God has not given him – nor us – a spirit of fear, but He has given us everything we need to find freedom fro...

Send us Fan Mail Because certain people are not pastors or deacons in their church, they assume that they have a free pass on the required character qualities found in 1 Timothy 3. The reality is that these qualities are to be the description of every Christian. Paul refers to these simply as faithful men. Do you want to be a faithful man or a faithful woman in your church? Then you need to measur...

Send us Fan Mail God has called you to service. You may say, “Not me. I’m not a preacher or a missionary.” You may or may not be called to a full-time, professional church staff kind of ministry or even to some far-off place to serve as a missionary. But you have been called. And that calling requires something of you. That’s what Paul addresses with young Timothy in his very first letter to him.

Send us Fan Mail People who grieve say it’s like living in a constant fog. Nothing sounds right, looks right, even smells right or tastes right; nothing feels right. They are like an unpowered ship being battered by the waves of emotion and the waves of life. That person needs an anchor. This message is designed for those who need that anchor even more so during the holidays. This message is for y...

Send us Fan Mail  Twenty-five or so years ago, a lady in our church was struggling, and could not get beyond, the death of her sister. As the holidays approached, she became more and more withdrawn. She needed her church family in a special kind of way. So we hosted an Honor and Remembrance Service for her and others like her. We have now hosted such a service every year since, because we recogniz...

Send us Fan Mail There are some things that only God can do. We can’t manufacture it. We can’t mimic it. And we’d better not miss it. I really do believe that God likes to work in such a way that only He can get the credit, the glory, for what has been done. I know that He doesn’t like to share His glory with anyone or anything else. So, let God work through you, blessing you, and make sure that y...

Send us Fan Mail Sometimes we begin a church service with prayer, and sometimes we close a church service with prayer. Often, we do both. But in the second Book that Paul writes to the church in Thessalonica, right in the very center, the very middle, Paul inserts a prayer. It is a Prayer of Blessing. He reminds the church of how God has blessed them in the past, and he asks God to bless them in t...

Send us Fan Mail Have you been born again? Are you a disciple, a follower, of Christ? Then the Great Commission is your mission. You and I are to work together to take the gospel of Jesus Christ to the entire world, starting right here wherever we are. God has made us stewards of that gospel-message, having entrusted it to us. That’s a serious challenge to be Entrusted with the Gospel.
