The Bread of Life

We are physical beings; at least in this life. In this life, we need food, we need water, we need shelter from the elements, we need lots of things. But as spiritual beings, what we truly need more than anything is the word of God. Look at Matthew 4:4 Matthew 4:4 4 But He answered and …

Send Me

Moving Forward

Complacency. Comfortable in ourselves. Comfortable in our efforts. Resting on our laurels. I think these are things that many people struggle with in today's age.

Befriending Jesus

One of my favorite songs to lead is "What a Friend We Have in Jesus." It really captures the greatness of being able to go to God the Father through Jesus. No matter what struggles we are going through, whatever weight we have on our shoulders; whatever the need may be, we can take it …

One Church or Many Denominations?

In most areas of life, it's typically seen as an advantage to be to unique or without equal. Athletes are praised for their unique strength and for winning championships and titles.

Feeling Saved

I've heard some people say things "I know I'm saved because I feel good about it," or "If I were lost, I would definitely feel like I was." I'm sure we've all heard people talk or pray to God to give us a "feeling" so that we can be assured about the truth. I would …

Abraham and Obedience
