I was having a conversation with a friend yesterday at lunch and we were talking about church. Talking about leadership and connection and fellowship and growth and all the stuff that goes into church. We talked about our excitement in church, over frustrations, over all types of things. And as we were leaving, we both [...]

Jesus Christ is Lord of all. He is the very Son of God. The Bible tells us in Colossians that everything in all of creation was made by Him and through Him. He holds everything together. He is the source of life, the source of strength, the source of everything that is good in life. [...]
It’s All Worth It

Christianity doesn’t promise the moon and the stars. It doesn’t promise that everything will be perfect. It doesn’t promise that everything will be great. Paul says today that we will toil, we struggle we work. There are and there will be tough times in our faith and in our lives. That’s simply reality. It’s what [...]
What Will We Choose?
Posted in Reflections, tagged Choices, Follow, Jesus on February 28, 2012 | 1 Comment »
Jesus lets us make choices. He respects our free will. He will call us. He will let us answer. And He will let us make the choice that we make. Today in the text we read, we see how Jesus lets us make choices each day. Listen to what happens in Luke 9:57-62: As they [...]
Watch Me

Paul says something really big and scary in today’s reading. Something I’m not sure I’d want to say or any of us would want to say. It’s some big words. But, it’s something that we each say, each day of our lives. Listen to what he writes in Philippians 3:17-20: Brothers, join in imitating me, [...]

Do Not Be Afraid

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 [...]
Little Things

Life is not always about the big things. Sometimes, it’s about the little things. Now, little does not mean unimportant. It just means, little. Little things, done well, done for Jesus, sometimes can be the greatest thing that we can do. Sometimes, yes sometimes, God calls us to amazing, big, gigantic things. Yes, that happens. [...]
