Jesus can help 2021 be better!

2020. Most of us would prefer not to re-live a year like this. For the first time in our lives, we experienced our world coming to a screeching halt. Our schedules changing, jobs being taken away, large amounts of time

Stressed by the election?

“How could you possibly vote for ____________? Don’t you realize how awful of a choice that is!” Maybe you’re hearing this from people in recent days. Personally, I have the incredible honor of pastoring hundreds of people every day. This

Is Fear holding “YOU” hostage?

Israel had fallen into idolatry but their root sin was still unbelief and fear. In His mercy, God sent them a prophet to expose their root sin. The prophet basically told them, “Look at you—a bunch of wimps, hiding out,

Affirm Their Best but Don’t give up when they Stumble!

I can’t help but believe that every time Peter heard a rooster crow, he also remembered the Lord’s words of affirmation and assurance. Shortly before his crucifixion, Jesus gave his closest disciples the following words of praise: “You are those

Come Lord Jesus!

The term 9-11 is something we have all come to recognize as a sad remembrance in the USA’s history. It’s a reminder of how quickly our lives can be here today, and then gone tomorrow. Lately, I’ve been doing a lot of people

Here’s YOUR Chance to Gift Jesus, Ask Jesus to come be born in you!

Like Mary, we don’t know fully what we are committing to do, but we know that our ultimate destination is Jesus. The apostle Paul was braver than I am. That’s true in many ways, but this one way I know

Unless A Seed..

Jesus had many opportunities to walk away from the shame and pain of the cross, but he chose the Father’s will and our need over his comfort. [Jesus said,] “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be

Is Jesus YOUR Genie?

Most of you know the folklore of a Genie in a bottle. You rub the bottle and then you have three wishes. (Of course, the first wish I would like is to have a thousand more wishes.) A lot of

Jesus wept

When Jesus arrived, Lazarus’s sisters were grieving and disappointed. “Jesus wept” (John 11:35). When asked to recite or memorize a Bible verse in Sunday School, many of us immediately chose this shortest verse in the Bible. But, there is more
