What Did He Say Again? (Matt. 22:40) 26 July 20 Good morning, Church. Its good to be in the House of the L-rd today. Amen? As many of you know, today is my last Sunday with you as your pastor. I began here 9 years ago, and it’s been a great ride. I never really knew what to expect when I came here, and now I wouldn’t have traded it for anything in the world. We’ve seen some good times, we’ve seen some difficult times and a lot of things in between, but I’m grateful for all...Continue reading

And Because of Lawlessness (19 July 20) Matt 24:12 Good morning, Church. Its good to be in the House of the L-rd this morning Amen? Friends, I appreciate the church. I find it to be a respite. It’s a place to go where I can get away from the daily grind. No matter what’s going on out there, when I come in here, I feel a sense of peace. I can reflect on the things that really matter.

The Inside Out 21 June 20 - Father’s Day Good morning, Church. It’s Father’s Day. What a bag of mixed emotions that is, huh? I wonder what kind of memories that brings up for you. I wonder what kind of emotions it stirs up. I’m not sure what kind of a father that some of you had. Some of us were gifted with great dads, others not so much, and still othersnone at all. I think that absent, or derelict fathers, are probably the leading cause of the problems we see in society ...Continue reading

Is It Worth It Hebrews 12:14-17 (14 June 20) Good morning, Church. Its good to be back in the House of the L-rd today. Amen? Its good to see some familiar faces. I don’t know if you’ve seen the news or not, but has anyone noticed that the whole world seems to be coming apart at the seams lately? There are protestors and rioters in every major city in America. Some folks think this whole Corona virus thing has people on edge. And then they say that people are angry about r...Continue reading
