Hello Friends, PSA:  This Sunday is Mother’s Day. Like any holiday, Mother’s Day may evoke various emotions (good, bad and/or ugly). This is especially true when it involves family, specifically Moms. Not everyone has a great family. Some do, of course. But not everyone. Some may recall the loss of their own Mom. That’s the…

HELLO FRIENDS,   Are you a meticulous calendar organizer? How about sticky notes? Do you notoriously leave them around everywhere like me?  I wish I could say I don’t rely on both calendars & sticky notes nearly as much as I do but I just can’t! Now It’s not because I’m overly organized or something…

Here is my reflection on John 19:25-27 I cannot begin to imagine the pain in her heart.  Watching as her son, beaten and bloody, gasps for air while hanging from that cross.  Every breath He takes is calculated based on the strength it would take on each inhale, and the pain He would feel on…

HELLO FRIENDS, We are so unbelievably excited to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus in just over a week! We have so much planned for our Sunday Gathering. We are having three services that morning: 8AM, 9:30AM, and 11:15AM. In addition to our Easter gathering, we have a special service taking place on Good Friday. On…

Hello Friends, I have served at the church for as long as I can remember. Starting as an 8-year-old playing piano in kid’s church (one-handed because that is all I could do at the time), to leading worship for the youth group, to now leading as the Creative Arts Director. Being a 26-year-old serving at my…

Hello Friends,   I recently attended a workshop here at the church put on by our very own Kristin Chaney and the lovely Katelyn Watson called “How To Hear”. While I learned so many things about myself, listening, question-asking, relationships, and society, there was one thing that really stuck out to me and may be…

HELLO FRIENDS   The disciples came to Him privately and asked, “What will be the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age.”  Jesus said to them, “Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name saying ‘I am the Savior’, and deceive many.”  Matthew 24:3-5  …

HELLO FRIENDS, “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” Psalms 46:1 NIV   How are you with tight spaces?  Me? Thanks for asking.  I hate them.  I’m sure Freud would say it stems from the womb.  Maybe it’s the residual trauma from sleep overs at friends houses where they’d play “Trap…

Hello Friends. Denise (my wife) and I are in the thick of a battle of sorts. I want to win, and therefore, I need her to lose. We are in a battle for “status.” Let me explain… I fly a lot. I’m in airplanes quite often. Perhaps it’s for denominational meetings, speaking engagements, vacation, or…

HELLO FRIENDS   I hope I can encourage you today.   When I was a boy, just tall enough to help my dad in the garage, or tag along while he was working, he taught me a valuable habit.  When he had an instruction or a correction to give, he taught me to look him in the eye…
