"Man of Sorrows, Lamb of God, by His own betrayed, the sin of man and wrath of God has been on Jesus laid." Good Friday is the day that we remember Jesus, giving his life as a sacrifice on the altar of the cross. As we look at ending Holy Week, understand that the death of Jesus was not just a senseless act of brutality, but the price paid for the sin of man kind. Easter Sunday is a celebration of...

Have you ever wondered why we call Good Friday, "Good Friday"? Jesus' life started with such promise. It showed what should be - what could be - what one day will be! On Palm Sunday, Jesus was welcomed as a King. On Good Friday, he will be punished and as an innocent man. Bribery, witness tampering, betrayal, denial, mock trials, beatings, thorns, nails, crucifixion, death and burial. Jesus, the S...

Have you ever voted in an election only to regret it a few years later? We've probably all been there at some point. We listen to a candidate, like what they say, believe they will actually make a difference...we vote...and pray....and we realize the promises are rarely kept. Our hopes become misguided. No wonder we can become frustrated with leadership and then continue to look elsewhere for some...

How would you quantify the level of anxiety in your life on a scale of 1-10? As you decide on a number, is it higher or lower than January 1, 2020?

As we continue our "Nobody but Jesus" message series, we will di...

Is God in control?

Our new message series, "Nobody but Jesus", begins as we dive into chapter four of the Gospel of John. Here we'll see how Jesus' love - his love for the unlovable - is so unique. Jesus leans into the difficult and the messy in our lives and loves us despite our sc...

Okay...we can just come out and say it - no family is perfect. Not even close. And guess what? A church family is far from perfect, too. One of the biggest stressors in any family or church family is conflict. Truth is, God invented conflict. He was willing to confront our first parents, Adam and Eve, of their sin because he wanted them to be part of his eternal family. He gives us the strength, m...

How many close friends do you have? Better yet, how many "best" friends do you have? God considers us his friends. We are told, "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends" (John 15:13). It's no wonder that an old Christian hymn proclaims, "What a Friend we have in Jesus." In our new message series, "Perfect Partner", we will examine the stress we often experience...

There are right and wrong ways for pursing greatness. Don't believe it? Just ask Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens.  Two of the greatest baseball players of their generation and arguably two of the best of all time. They pursued greatness the wrong way. Besides being snubbed for the Hall of Fame, what else do Bonds and Clemens have in common? They used steroids and that casts a shadow over their...

Psalm 110:4 - "The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind: “You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.”   Jesus is considered a priest in the order of Melchizedek because, like Melchizedek, Jesus was not a descendant of Aaron, and thus would not qualify for the Jewish priesthood  under the Law of Moses.  "He sacrificed for their sins once for all when he offered him...
