We’re In This Together! None of us could have predicted the events going on all around us and in our own lives, but GOD was not caught unprepared! Many people have been repeating the title of our sermon series over the past week or more: “We’re in this together!” That’s true for the entire human race, as everyone is affected in one…

We’re In This Together! People all around us are seemingly in a panic. What about you? How should we react to the events going on in the world and in our nation? While there is apparently a new virus that can and has and will cause sickness and even death to some, many of us have endured greater threats and larger crises…

We’re In This Together! “How many churches do you have in your town?” In our nation that is a common question for those moving into a new community. The answer, of course, usually includes all of the locations where Christians meet to worship and to engage in various religious activities. Few cities in the United States, even small ones, have only one…

We’re In This Together! “God has promised to give you the desires of your heart!” … so people quote a phrase from Psalm 37:4. But is that really what it says? It seems a little bit like giving someone a blank check, signed by God! We all know that even as believers we often desire things that would not be good for…

We’re In This Together! The sinful human nature does not like being told that it CAN’T do something!! If you tell people they can’t do something they will try everything in their power to do it. Such is the case with spiritual life. Many today are aware of their need and desire for something more than a merely physical life. You live ……

We’re In This Together! An old hymn has a line that reads, “Prone to wander, Lord I feel it; prone to leave the God I love.” Those words express the reality of the human condition as long as we live in this world. As the Spirit of God works in us through God’s Word, we “grow” and those times of “wandering” growing…

We’re In This Together! What makes you happy will be where you place your priorities and where you expend your greatest effort. As Paul continues his letter to the Philippian believers he not only expresses where he finds HIS joy, but where they should find theirs! Paul was convinced that all who believe in Jesus Christ, in whom the Spirit of God…

We’re In This Together!  You have probably heard it said that God is a God of relationship and because we were created in His image, we were created for relationships! Yet we know that it is here that sin causes its greatest challenges. The immediate result of sin was broken relationships. Adam and Eve hid from God, and Adam blamed Eve for tempting…

We’re In This Together! Most people could probably answer the question, “Do you believe in Jesus?” rather easily. It’s a “Yes” or “No” answer. But what does it MEAN to “believe in Jesus?” We might answer that it means knowing who He is and what He has done for us … but is that all? Is there more to being a Christian,…

We’re In This Together! We all know that people who are willing to die for their “faith” can be a dangerous threat to other people, so when we talk about being willing to die for Christ we have to be careful to explain what that means. There is a stark contrast between those who believe killing themselves in order to kill others…
