Disappointment with God – part 2 I came across an interesting video the other day that asked if the average church goer was stuck in some kind of spiritual adolescence. It made me think. Are we like spiritual adolescents; we aren’t quite ready to take on what it means to be a person of faith, […]
To be the message implies you have a message to share. You have probably thought about what kind of message you want to send through your life. Where does that message come from? Is it just from you or is it bigger than that? Does God have something to do with it? We may not […]
The movie Field of Dreams represents God’s heart in a way. God is always thinking, “Build it and they will come.” God is the consummate inviter or host, waiting for people to come. Being the parent of humankind, I can’t imagine he could want anything less than all of his children to come home. We spend […]
Our topic over the next few weeks is how to get closer to God. In last week’s message we considered the difference that knowing your Heavenly Parent can make in your life. Even though we feel separated, the reality is we are never “unloved.” This week we want to consider how to get closer to […]

Please enjoy the following intro video called “A Different Love Story”, and the first part of “Lasting Love Begins With God” in the second […]
When we think of God’s Blessing in our lives we think of all the good things we hope to receive. We don’t anticipate anything less than full-blown compassionate love and well-being visited upon us. But we have to ask ourselves if that is realistic or even desirable. Now, that might be a strange question, because […]
We think of salvation as something we receive; a gift. It is, but it’s a gift that must be accepted, which necessitates that we choose to receive. The whole idea of being open to receive love was brought home to me this week when I watched “Gift” a Singapore short drama on Youtube. […]
