We're beginning a new series this week.  We will be studying some verses or sections in the Bible that have often been misunderstood.  My "hope" for this series is that we will not only discover what the verses were intended to say but hopefully we will all learn more how to study the Bible better.  I hope you enjoy this 10-week series. It's really important to start by listening.  God desperately...  Read More

Today we begin to prepare for Easter.  I want to encourage you to walk through the week.  Don't run.  Sit with the feelings you have as you walk every day towards the empty tomb and read the scriptures.  Be honest with the uncomfortable thoughts and feelings you might have.  Every day is important.  Every thought is necessary.  Don't believe the lie that God isn't with you.  He is with us in the c...  Read More

This week's blog will help us as we prepare for the second Sunday in our series, "I AM: What does the Great I AM say about who you are?"  This series is so important because for too long we (me included) have believed the lies about who we are more than the TRUTH that God says about us.  And I don't want to do that any more.  Because when we believe the lies, we're unable to truly be a disciple of...  Read More

Each week that I preach, I intend to start the week off by publishing a blog in which I can share with you the passages that I will be teaching from.  It is my hope that others will be able to wrestle with the text and prepare for Sunday with me.  And most importantly, I hope you're willing and able to  share what you are learning with others.  We are starting a new 3-week series this weekend titl...  Read More
