That’s the number of people who took their next step in following Jesus this past weekend in our church – 185. One hundred and eighty-five people got baptized. Can we pause for a moment to consider that God is building something great in our church? BTW- that’s over 10% of […]
My wife and I will be celebrating 20 years of marriage on May 11th. (Yes, I got married when I was 16 if you are counting!) I am so very thankful that God gave my wife to me. She is truly my best friend, and the last 20 years of […]
Ok, not really, but right now I almost want to quit. I’m sure we could all agree that social media has provided us many good things. It has helped us remain more connected to friends and family and has helped raise awareness around worthy causes. I have also seen some […]
Everyone loves free, right? Sure enough, we are going to give out a free shirt to everyone who attends on the weekend of May 7/8th. But what this shirt represents and why we are giving it away is the real reason I wanted you to read this. We are in […]

I personally don’t like to buy movies. After I watch a movie, I rarely ever want to watch it again. Of course, there are some exceptions. (Elf, Rocky IV, Christmas Vacation, etc.) It’s just not exciting for me to watch a movie that I’ve already seen before. I already know […]
Of course we can’t see the future. If I knew the future, I would have hit the Powerball when it was over 1 billion! But that shouldn’t keep us from dreaming of a better future. That idea might be the simplest definition for vision – a dream of a better […]
There is something special about the first part of a New Year. I think every FIRST in our lives gives us an opportunity to put God first. I like to give God some of the first time of my day through reading my Bible and prayer. I give the first […]
What do you want for Christmas? Are you one of those people that has a list ready to give to the first person that asks? Or does that question catch you off guard, even though you know people are going to ask? I never have a good answer to that […]
