I really wish that life was all unicorns and rainbows. That’d be awesome. It would be great if life was only made up of things that were easy, of things that we liked doing; of things that we would chose to do. That’s not the way that it works. Life is not always made of [...]

I’ve read the story of Jesus calling the first disciples many times in my life. I’ve preached on it a good many times in my ministry. It’s a story that I feel like I know pretty well. It reads in Luke 5: 8-11 like this: But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at [...]

Today in this passage we read the famous story of when God calls Isaiah. We see God appear in the temple before this and we see him ask a question – who will go for us? Listen to Isaiah 6:8: And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who [...]

Listen to what happens today in John 1:45-49. It’s a powerful passage and can be a warning to us today: Philip found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” Nathanael said to him, “Can anything [...]

In the passage today that we are reflecting upon, we see Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist, praise God for what God is going to do through his son. We know from the story of John the Baptist, that he was a man that, shall we say, lived outside the norm. John lived away [...]

Paul today reminds us what we were made for by God. We were not created for destruction. God did not make us to condemn us. We were made for salvation, made for relationship with Him. As the statement is said, What is the chief end of man? To know God and to enjoy Him forever. [...]

Remember back in school, after a big lunch, how hard it was to pay attention in the class that followed? In college, I tried to always have something active after lunch, a lab, a PE, something that would get me up and moving. Because I knew, that no matter how much I loved history (and [...]
We are all Preachers

John the Baptist had one calling in his life. He was called to prepare the way for Jesus. He was out in the wilderness preaching, teaching, baptizing, and pointing. He spent his life telling folks about the one that was to come after him. He was sent to let folks know about Jesus. We see [...]
