Return to Relationship

It appears like Saul, we are on the way to de-mask-us! Praise God for getting us through this past year together. Sadly for many, we took Social Distancing and turned it into Relational Distancing. Let us return to building our relationships within the Body of Christ and “Be devoted to one another in brotherly love…contributing to the needs of the saints, practicing hospitality.” Rom 12:10-13 — Pastor David

Who is He?

Mark 8:29b “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered and said to Him, “You are the Christ.” This is a question that every one of us must answer. Yet if we agree with Peter, then there comes a responsibility to not only recognize Him, but to place our trust in Him. Jesus wasn’t simply a “good teacher” or a “prophet”; He is the Son of God who died to pay our debts, which we owed to God, on the Cross…

Why is Love Greater?

1 Corinthians 13:13 But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love. Why is love greater? Some would argue that faith is most important since it is what allows us to trust in God for salvation, which is our hope. But without love our faith is worthless. Love is part of God’s character and it’s His love that enables these three things to operate in our lives. We are not told to choose between the three,…

Keep it in Order

Keep it in Order We all know that this time of year is when we get ready for the colder months ahead; we budget for the heating bill, we pick up the yard, and finish our outdoor projects so that our house is in order. It’s also a great time to make sure that our spiritual things are in order; to get back into our devotions and prayer time if we’ve let them slip. It’s much more important to keep…

Back to Church

Back to Church It has been a long two months, but we are finally back to church. I want to thank you all for your support and faithfulness toward your pastors and church during this time. We are truly blessed by God to have each other and I believe that it will only make us stronger to face what lies ahead. If you are like me, then you probably have been reminded to be thankful for many things that we…

Time to Shine!

Time to Shine! If absence makes the heart grow fonder, then when we are able to reunite I’m certain that our church will be so much stronger and more focused on what God has planned for us in the future. I’m glad we get to use technology to communicate, love, and encourage one another for now; but I pray that sooner than later we can be face to face again. Stay strong in your faith and love your neighbor, because…

Red and Pink

Red and Pink Two colors that really go with the month of February are red and pink. We see advertisements plastered with those colors as ribbons around chocolate boxes and flowers to be sent to our true love, etc. But those colors have Biblical significance as well. Red represents the love of God perfectly demonstrated in the Blood of Jesus. Pink signifies a right relationship between a person and God, which was only made possible by Christ’s sacrifice. Keep God…

Tis the Season

December is here and many people have already finished their Christmas gift shopping, although I’ve barely started. Tis the season for family gatherings and memories to be shared, but the true purpose we celebrate is because God gave to the world the most important gift in the universe, His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ. He gave because He loved us, so make sure love is your motivation for giving to bless others; and share His Gift by making Christ the…

Fall Preparation

Fall Preparation As October arrives, most of my plans to get ready for winter will be underway, from bagging leaves to getting the snowblower ready. Preparation is critical not only for surviving the colder months, but also to make sure our spiritual things are in order. We have a unique responsibility as Christians to show Christ when we get together with friends and family. Whether we are going to a fair or hosting a meal we should be ready to…

Wellness Check

Wellness Check August is National Wellness Month, but I’m not talking about eating right and getting into shape. I recommend that we take this time to check our spiritual wellness. Ask God every day this month to reveal to you what you are lacking in your spiritual diet and how you can exercise your faith more than you have been. If we fail to put what God gives us, as in our knowledge or talents, into action, then we are…
