A Mustard Seed

A Mustard Seed

Most of us love a story where the underdog comes from behind to triumph. More often than not, the ultimate hero of the story is far humbler than the character who has everything going for him or her. It is usually the arrogance of the character that trips them up and...

Have you ever heard of Jeremy Riddle? I hadn’t until he came to our church back in 2011 for a weekend conference where he was one of our guest speakers. If you haven’t heard of him, he is an amazing song writer, musician, and worship leader. During Jeremy’s talk with...
The Faith of Moses

The Faith of Moses

Welcome to this week’s Sunday school! Pastor Mike continued his series “By Faith” speaking about the faith of Moses. Once again, he got me thinking about things I had not previously considered. He made me realize I need to change how I read...

God’s Love

There is a picture on our fireplace mantle. My husband has his arm around our son, and he is looking at him with all the love of a father. Our son is looking back at his dad with eyes full of respect and admiration. There are words on this photo that read “like...

Hey Everyone! My apologies for the delay in getting this posted. I wasn’t feeling 100% this week and needed to go back and listen to Pastor Mike’s sermon again. I am so glad I did! Pastor Mike continued his series on faith and this week he spoke about Noah. I’ve heard...

I want you to find something in your home – a cabinet, a picture, a knick-knack – in which you find beauty. I want you to spend some time with it. Touch it, look closely at the intricacies of the item you’ve chosen. Notice the lines or curves, the colors and quality....
Little Things Count!

Little Things Count!

I had a busy day today and did not get home until late. Rather than cook, we decided to go to our favorite Chinese restaurant. As my husband and I talked, our conversation eventually made its way to this blog. “You have a purpose,” he commented. “I don’t.” I was both...
Who Are We?

Who Are We?

Our services, like many, start with worship music. Our worship leader is not a talkative man. Today, however, he shared his story with us. I won’t’ go into details. Suffice it to say, like many of us, he was broken. He shared his story to make us think. He asked us,...
