And do you know what? It’s true for you too! As…

As we approach this time of year we are called to look around at what we are thankful for, and that looks very different for each one of us, and it also looks different to the worldly and to the Christian. the world looks at what worldly things they have, the Christian at what god has given them, ultimately…

Church good morning! I’m excited to be back up here today and opening God’s Word with you. I want to just thank you for a minute. As we continue as a church to move forward in a way that is unique to us—not having a full-time vocational pastor—I’ve become even more grateful for your patience with Will…

1. The church and its members are like a fruit bowl . This is a metaphor that will help us understand the metaphors for church we find in scripture. But first let’s back up to last week and work forward. Last week we saw the importance of the institutional side of the local church. The church is an assembly…

Today is special. Today we celebrate communion. We begin again with a fresh understanding of God’s grace. With the week in between Christmas and the new year, I am hopeful we have had some time of peace. That we have had some time of rest, and we have new joy in our lives. And that is an incredible thing.…

Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.

If our goal is to better understand the value of the local church and church membership, we need to take some time to see what it looks like. “I can be a Christian without going to church.” How do you feel about that statement? First: simply going to church is part of what guides that statement. If I…

The end of all things is near . This isn’t as doomsday as it sounds. But it is true. The end of all things is near.
