More Mark. Today, Pastor Michael is starting round two of his series on the book of Mark. Jesus is in the wilderness, battling Satan, for 40 days.  Battling wild beasts with the angels supporting Him, in an area that is arid, rocky, open land.  And the wilderness is also a metaphor for places we are at in our life when the devil is just ‘picking’ on us, a place we’re alone at, a place with little...

A New Series on the Book of Mark. Today, Pastor Michael is starting a series on the Book of Mark.  A series of fast past action stories, Mark is the ‘good stuff’ in one book, even being the shortest of the Gospels.  In these first two verses of Mark, the Old Testament is being quoted (Malachi and Isaiah, respectively) and it’s stating someone is going to come as an announcer for Jesus.  And that s...

The Gospel of Second Chances. Today, Pastor Michael is at the beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  Here, Christ means ‘the anointed one’, the Savior sent from God in a special role as The Savior.   Mark is the Second Chance gospel writer.  Mark was taken under the wing of Simon Peter and they bonded.  Mark became his assistant, Peter considered Mark a son.  Mark’s book is essentially the memo...

A Bible Study in a Chariot! Today, Pastor Michael is talking about being in the right place at the right time for others.  And that’s not just for professional preachers; it means all of us.  Today Michael is talking about Phillip and he wasn’t a preacher; he was a servant leader in a church in Jerusalem.  And the story is pretty fascinating! Suddenly an angel appears to Phillip and tells Phillip...

Who’s On The Throne? Today, Pastor Michael is turning the reins over to Nick Dowdy.  Nick’s message is about "Who is sitting on the throne of your heart?”.  Does the Gospel you’ve chosen to believe put the Lord on the throne of your life or you on the throne?   Today, Nick covers ideology and world view contribute to beliefs from childhood on.  At some point we make a decision on how religion fits...

More and More. Today, Billy Huneycutt is filling in for Pastor Michael. More and more is a loose term that came from a bible study that Billy was in, in the past.  More and more may not always be good in human terms but in God’s terms it is!  In human terms we can do vices ‘more and more’ yet when we trust in the Lord we receive his blessings, ‘more and more’.  We struggle with ‘our’ ways; we like...

Father’s Day! Today, Pastor Michael is talking about Fathers and Father’s Day.   What does a hero look like?  We all have our ideas of what they may look like, however not all heroes look like modern day super heroes from Hollywood and the comic books.  Real heroes can be First Responders, those that go into harm’s way.  The pandemic may have even altered our ideas of what a hero is: those that wo...

Simon, Jesus and Forgiveness. Today, Pastor Michael is looking at Simon, when he invited Jesus to dinner.  Simon was the established person of faith and Jesus is this new, up and coming Rabbi.   Simon being pretty confident in his spiritual position wanted to see what Jesus was all about.  So, he and Jesus and others broke bread together and while Jesus and the others were eating, a woman barges i...

The End.   Today, Pastor Michael is finishing up his series on Daniel.  We started this series in February and we’re finishing it up today, all 12 chapters behind us.  We may not do it fast, but we do it right! Daniel has come to the end of his life.  He has seen revelation after revelation.  And yet, he still has some questions, here at the twilight of his life.  How does everything wrap up?  How...
