Have you spoked to the person who peaked in high school? Somebody say, “ouch.” You know what I’m talking about? And you could be that person, but I hope not.

Turn to Romans 15 Looking back at the past two months - and trying to build off last week - it was a good time to look at what we’re doing and things that maybe need to shift, or tighten up, or even things that need to be let go. To be honest, this morning’s message, wrote up last Saturday when I was…

Looking back to move forward.

Illus: My plans fell apart when I took Jonah to the Cardinals game and the Arch. (Because of construction we could not park anywhere within reason.) What about Topeka?

1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. 3 Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. A Change Happens on the Outside 12 Then…

If you’re reading in your bulletins you will notice that we are in the middle of a series on Esther, and I was fully planning on preaching on the book of Esther this morning. Yet in my own devotions and prayers surrounding the day of Pentecost I was convicted that on this vital day in the life of the…

Trusting God no matter what. 22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) 24 And let us…

Hey church, who can align with the lyrics of our new song for the month? You know, the reality of your sin is no secret. It is not to you, and it is certainly not a secret to God!
