This is The Way – Devo Day 31
Tell me to what you pay attention and I will tell you who you are. Jose Ortega y Gasset, Spanish philosopher It’s amazing how accurate a personal profile can be compiled from your online purchases, your calendar, your social media feed, your video/audio streaming selections, the books your read, the podcasts you listen to, and the video you watch. It’s also pretty scary when we realize how much we have been influenced by Madison Avenue, Wall Street, Washington DC, Hollywood,…
This is The Way – Devo Day 25
It is the night before his crucifixion at their Passover celebration. Jesus had washed the disciple’s feet, revealed his betrayer, and foretold of Peter’s denial. Then he turns to His disciples to encourage them, “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.” John 14:1 (ESV) It’s another way of saying “Fear not” which is what God says throughout the Scriptures when his people feared what they were confronting. He tells them to trust in God…
Who Are You, REALLY?
How would you answer the question – Who Are You, REALLY? Some of us would immediately think of their occupation, what they do for a living. Some would think of their family position, father, mother, husband, wife. Some would find their answer in their ethnicity, nationality or family of origin. Some would find their identity in what they’ve done, their accomplishments or their failures. And then some would focus on their skills or talents. While all of these certainly contribute…

We invite you to experience the good news of God’s love, the assurance of a new start and the promise of eternal life as we celebrate the resurrection of our Savior this Easter.…
Christmas Eve – The Light of Christmas
The Christmas season is a beautiful time of year full of family, fun, food and gifts. But it can also be a season of stress, loneliness, fear and pain. And that was exactly the world God sent his Son into as a baby born in a stable on that first Christmas night. When we look at the Christmas story, we see that the people God invited to the manger were all different, but they were all broken and in need of a Savior—just like we…

Is this just for fun or for something more? Am…
Game of Thrones – sermon series
We are very excited about our final summer sermon series, Game of Thrones. In this series we’ll look at the kings of Israel. It starts and ends with a theocracy but what’s in the middle is filled with the schemes, battles and indulgences of men. Some were worshipers of God others where not. Some were wise and just, many where self satisfying and corrupt. Some waged war and others built great edifices. All were powerful but only one was the…
