Wait for Your God
Don’t you hate waiting for things? Waiting on the phone when you’re on hold with horrible elevator music…waiting in line at the grocery store while your ice cream is melting…waiting patiently for someone to get out of the bathroom… Waiting is not an easy task. But waiting for the right things can be worth it! God has prepared an extraordinary spiritual meal for all of us…but we just have to wait for it. The time will come when all believers can partake…
What is Worship? – The Service
Good morning! Since we will be having a Ministry Update today, our plan for worship is to walk through what our hymnal calls The Service. Our purpose is to help everyone understand more completely what we are doing and why we do it when we come together for worship each week. Please keep our church family in your prayers each day that the ministry each of us do, whether big or small, is always a blessing to us and to others! May…
Real Repentance Looks Different
What is real repentance? Is it saying sorry for something that was done, but then turning around and doing it again? Apologizing for hurting someone, but then continuing to hurt them? Being sorry means that you feel regret or penitence, which leads you to consciously change your ways. God wants us to demonstrate our sincere sorry over sin, because in turn, we will see the grace and forgiveness he has shown us in Christ. And that will lead us to love…
God is Gracious to All
How many times have you heard your children say “That’s not fair!”? How many times have you heard yourself say those words? We all know that life isn’t always fair. And God isn’t fair either! But think just for a second about what a blessing that actually is… If God was fair, He would not have sent His only Son to die on the cross for you and me. If God was fair, we would be dead in our sins with no…
Imitate Your Father’s Forgiveness
Forgiveness does not come easily or naturally to most people. We tend to lash out when attacked, hold grudges, and even fight back. So when we hear we are forgiven, we may be suspicious or skeptical. But we don’t have to be suspicious when it comes to the forgiveness that Christ offers to us…He loves his children dearly! And He asks us to follow His example (forgive, just as Christ forgave you!) Are you able to Imitate Your Father’s Forgiveness?
God Seeks Your Life
If you see a sign in the road that says, “Danger! Do Not Enter!” do you enter anyways? Most people will heed the warning and go another way. It’s the same in the Christian faith. If someone lovingly says, “Warning! You’re headed for danger!” we need to listen to them. God sends people into our lives who genuinely love us and want what’s best for us. And when we are sinning, it is their job to lovingly turn us around and…

Who Is Jesus?
Who is Jesus to you? Some say a prophet; some say a teacher; some even a role model. All are correct, but they miss the main point. Jesus is a real human being, the Son of Man. He is also our Almighty Lord and Savior, the Son of God. How can He be both?
