The path to where we want to be is often through someplace that we do not want to be. As we all find ourselves self-quarantined and isolated, we can look forward to returning to a brand new building in which to worship. We are at this place, because of an unwanted flood. As we cleaned up after that flood, little did we realize what God had for us and where He would lead us. We prayed for God’s dir...

With the worldwide impact of the Coronavirus, we have lost so much. The stock market is down, and many are facing economic challenges. We are concerned about being infected by the virus, but we are more likely to be infected by a greater threat: fear. It is times like this than can define us. It is moments like this that we have to look and focus on the things that really matter. The best lessons...

Sometimes life calls for us to walk through difficult to understand places. The dictionary defines strange as unexpected. Strange is a place where we are ill at ease. At some point in life, we will all walk through a strange place. When there is so much unexplained in our lives, it is easy to question if we are living in the will of God. Strange places are places to live through not to give up. Th...

We live in a world under siege. Fear comes down the streets of every city orchestrated by evil minds bent on tearing down God’s creation. Troubling times sometimes bring out the worst in people. Our world is now consumed with the spread of the Coronavirus. If there has ever been an hour for the church to shine a light to the world, it is now. None of us are immune to trouble and adversity, but we...

The story goes that on February second if Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter. Phil has a fifty-fifty chance of being right, but over time, he only has a thirty-nine percent success rate. People invest a lot of hope in the groundhog not seeing his shadow and therefore predicting an early spring. The truth is that spring will come no matter if Phil sees his sha...

Nascondino is the Italian word for the children’s game of hide and seek. We can argue that the first game of Nascondino was played in the garden with Adam and Eve. After the fall, Adam tried to hide from God out of shame. Saul tried to hide from God’s will. Jonah ran from God and tried to hide. The Psalmist says even if he made his bed in hell, he would not be hidden from God. Adam and others have...

So often we view Jesus through the framework of the stories and accounts in the bible. We have a more difficult time seeing Jesus in the framework of our lives as we experience it today. We find it hard to view God in our modern times as the one who spoke the world into existence, who opened blind eyes, raised the dead, and died for our sins on a cross. Too many of us have God neatly framed in the...

Starbucks Coffee, Southwest Airlines and Federal Express have all redefined their industries. They did this by focusing on one thing that was vital to their success. By focusing on Coffee, economy travel and overnight shipping, these companies have developed a successful business and a fanatical following. Focus is a biblical principle. Focus is a critical element to so much that we desire and lon...

Our human body is a complex, and intricate creation of individual parts and systems that function together. Our text paints a vivid picture of how the parts of a church work together like the parts of a body to function as a whole. If the various systems work in harmony, we say that we are healthy. The healthy body has a miraculous way of protecting and healing itself from imbalances and infection...

There were two trees in the Garden of Eden: The Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. The fruit of these trees produces very different results. Bro. Oddo goes back to the very beginning and uses these two trees to describe our relationship with God and the cyclic pattern that relationship takes.

amson was one of the most powerful men in the bible. When God’s spirit came on him, Samson had great strength and could do extraordinary things. However, Samson’s life is a contradiction. So many of the things he did were contrary to what God proposed for his life. He struggled with an unaccountable spirit. Charles Spurgeon noted that Samson’s life was a series of miracles and follies. How could a...

The book of Hebrews are words of encouragement to the first-century church. The early believers were getting weary in their journey. There was a great war of faith and many were wanting to give up. The words of Hebrews were to help settle them and sustain them in their faith. The writer uses the analogy of a race to make his point. The chapter begins with an admonishment to cast off the things tha...

In our text, Joshua is almost 100 years old. Israel had spent the last seven years moving and possessing the promised land. Even so, God comes to remind Joshua that there was much left to do. It was not a time to be comfortable with what they had done, because there was so much more the God had promised. Our church is in a building program as a result of damage from Hurricane Harvey. We have come...
