January 16, 2024
I had a great day yesterday and got to talk about God’s Grace and Jesus...I love it when this happens!“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,”Matthew 28:19 So let talk about these blessing we’ve been given. I...
spiritual-growthJanuary 15, 2024
So here’s a question for you. Are you living in growth mode with your relationship with Christ? What I mean is, are you actively reading, meditating and growing your relationship with God?Let’s be honest, none of are going truly going to “get there” with our relationship until we meet Jesus face...
honorJanuary 12, 2024
You ever think about what it means when we treat others the way we want to be treated? I think what it means, other than love your brother, is to honor what God has made. Honor isn’t a new idea. In fact, it is actually a key component in the scripture we read. God created each one of us, and ever...
gods-faithfulnessJanuary 11, 2024
So in Romans 8, we are told, “if God is for us, who can be against us?” What an incredibly comforting promise from the living God, especially in the troubled times in which we are living. But God requires from us two things in return: they are faithfulness and obedience. You see, He is a jealous...
forgivenessJanuary 10, 2024
You ever think about how powerful Jesus is and His command for us forgive, as God has, those who have hurt us? I mean think about this, with that one selfless action, He becomes the great restorer. Pretty awesome I think. “"If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you...
humilityJanuary 9, 2024
This past week was somewhat disappointing but at the same time gratifying. You see, somewhere in the crazy journey of mine to grow my relationship with Christ, I think I’m beginning to learn what humility all means. For years I set my sights on accomplishing thing that defined “who” I was...but t...
spiritual-protectionJanuary 8, 2024
Why do we protect ourselves with seat belts when driving, helmets and boots when riding and life jackets when on the water? It’s so we are ready when the unexpected comes. Right? When we wear these protective devices, they don’t restrict us from enjoying the activity we’re are choosing, rather it...
eternal-lifeJanuary 5, 2024
Sport, like life, has winners and losers. It’s always has and it always will. Despite the wishes of a seemingly blind new culture that wants to teach us “fairness” and insulate of from pain and failure, you will lose and things won’t always go your way. But that’s ok. You see, when we walk with C...
peaceJanuary 4, 2024
“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world."”John 16:33 Do you ever feel like life is one problem after another?You make it through one issue, but before you can recover another one shoots up....
salvationJanuary 3, 2024
Ok, all week we talked about being a good witness for Christ, bearing good fruit and trying to be more like Jesus. All of which we should be doing. However, I think it’s worthy of discussion as to just how these “good works” are viewed. While we may be confident in our work, confidence in our sal...
witnessingJanuary 2, 2024
24Happy New Year everyone! Looking forward to another lap around the sun. With the new year, I want make our way back around to a topic we discussed a few years ago…consider it kind of a resolution of sorts. Y’all remember the trend many years ago that we all wore in our arms and stuck bumper sti...
anger-managementDecember 29, 2023
“Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.”James 1:19-20Seeking revenge or trash talking someone else when they hurt us is easy to do. We all have time everyday where someone has...
new-yearDecember 28, 2023
With the new year closing in on us like a freight train headed down hill, we all start to think about what we want to change. You know, the “new year new me” stuff….but I’m inclined to think of it in another way. What are you trying to hang on to that Jesus wants you to let go of, and turn it ove...
missionDecember 27, 2023
“And Jesus answered them, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance."”Luke 5:31-32 You see, God sent His only son Jesus to Earth for primary purpose: to give us new life. In Luke, Jesus rewords His miss...
healingDecember 26, 2023
“He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.”1 Peter 2:24-25 Have you ever gotten lost? It can be one o...
christmasDecember 22, 2023
“But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save h...
repentanceDecember 21, 2023
“There were some present at that very time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And he answered them, "Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered in this way? No, I tell you; but unless...
hardshipDecember 20, 2023
Let keep digging into 2 Corinthians;“For we do not want you to be unaware, brothers, of the affliction we experienced in Asia. For we were so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we despaired of life itself. Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death. But that was to make us...
weaknessDecember 19, 2023
Hope everyone’s week is off to a great start. I want to shift gears this week by discussing probably my most favorite verse in the Bible;“So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass...
humilityDecember 18, 2023
“Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.”Philippians 2:3 ESVSo we all have to deal with pride, lust and entitlement to some degree. Some more in one area than others. But to be able to deal with the weak areas of our life we need...
spiritual-giftsDecember 15, 2023
Did you know you have a gift to share? You do, whether you are aware of it or not you’ve got something to share. I got to reflecting about last weekend and all the different people I took up flying and how excited they were to get to do something they may never otherwise do. I feel so blessed to...
perseveranceDecember 13, 2023
Grinding it out and persevering builds character. Plain and simple. Something about endurance has the incredible capacity to refine you. I guess it’s kind of like a fire for silver, removing impurities and strengthening the character. Often because endurance goes hand-in-hand with trials and tria...
resilienceDecember 12, 2023
I’m going to wrap up our discussion I stated yesterday with this; how quickly can you or do you bounce back from hardship and loss? Maybe it paralyses you into a depressed state? The key is learning to press on in life regardless of your adverse circumstances.“Not that I am speaking of being in n...
depressionDecember 11, 2023
So, as we are in the meat of the Christmas season, we see a lot of people suffered from the silent killer, depression. I’ve had close friends fight depression and I’ve felt with it myself at times. Depression is real and when people suffer from it, it’s to be taken seriously...it needs to be talk...
