    The best gift one can get is that of a relationship with Jesus. New Years is a great time to think this through

    Enjoy the tree because next week it will be gone, the garlands, nativity scene and memorial ornaments will be put away till next December 7 (which is the second Sunday in Advent). At our house we’ve left up some winter decorations but the bulk of our Christmas is down and in the garage. Yet, today ...read more

    What does the dedication of Jesus have to say to us about our New Year

    If you were here early, you might have wondered at the music playing. After all, you don’t often have hymns combined with 1960’s pop music. They were chosen because of their theme.

    A look at the JOURNEY of the Wise Men. The gifts wait till Epiphany

    Bob Chooljain built a nativity scene for their yard more than 30 years ago. "I did it when my boys were younger," he said. "It’s something we kind of did together."

    The reality of the world around us is NOT the reality of being a Christ-follower. How do we cultivate this true-sight in a world that is so often blind

    One pleasant surprise while in Mexico last month was seeing a total lunar eclipse. It would have been nice to have had Rick’s telescope down there but most nights there was just too much light from the area to really see many stars. Yet, as the moon took on its orange glow from the shadow of the ...read more

    Instead of following after the "power and prestige of the world" how about following the humility of Christ?

    I visited with an incensed high school student last week. Apparently her father had decided they weren’t going to get a Christmas tree or put up any of the other usually seasonal decorations. Instead they would have “Birthday” balloons and a birthday cake. And the presents would be arranged around ...read more

    How do we move from the laundry list of today’s "Letter to Santa" to the recognition of the greatness of God’s grace

    Testing God by obedient living allows us to find God’s blessings no matter our life’s situations

    What is the difference between those like Billy Graham, Mother Theresa, Robert Schuler, Dietrich Bonhoffer, C.S. Lewis & most of those who tell pollsters that they’re Christians? Let me suggest that one key difference is in how they have believed what God has promised them in verses like those here ...read more

    Betrayal and rejection are a part of life but it doesn’t have to be the commanding part of life

    No one goes through life without experiencing rejection and/or betrayal. Its part of the result of being sinful humans that we reject others and as a result we end up on the receiving end of that rejection as well. In some ways this fear is the foundation for so many others. We’re afraid of what ...read more

    The serious nature of sin is the reason why Jesus died. It’s deadly consequences he’s taken on himself

    POOF! I’ve just made you the presiding judge of the universe. That’s the good news. Now you have to decide if you will grant this person forgiveness. All they ask is for mercy and the chance for a new beginning with the help of Jesus? (Show series of slides of recent people in the news). If ...read more

    So what’s the difference between the church and the world? And what’s the source of that difference. Would it surprise those of us in the church to realize that we’re the reason things are so different?

    What’s the difference? By itself the question doesn’t make sense. What’s the difference between what? Some differences are pretty easy to see, night and day; automobiles and elephants. But others are a bit subtler such as between democracy and a representative republic. Still others are live ...read more

    onsider the power of words.

    Test vs. leading into sin...ah now there’s a question for us
