This week we will be completing our series on gratefulness by looking at several Bible passages. As we look around us this Thanksgiving season, we may see those who have more than us, or those who have been more fortunate. Comparison is a trap that fosters dissatisfaction. Instead, we need to focus on God and […]
This week we will continue in our November series on gratitude by looking at Luke 17:11-19. It is good and right for us to give thanks for the many blessings we have in life. We are grateful for our food and clothes and homes — all those basic material needs. We appreciate our family and […]
This week we will continue in our November series on gratitude by looking at Luke 17:11-19, the account of the ten lepers that were healed by Jesus, yet only one returned to say thanks. We are all guilty of failing to thank God for His many blessings. Instead we might say, “I thank my lucky […]
This week we will be considering the topic of gratitude by looking at Luke 7:36-50. The woman in this account took a great risk by coming uninvited to this dinner in the house of a Pharisee. She had a great need for Christ — she also had a great Christ for her need. She understood […]

This week we will continue in our fall series, “The Full Armor of God” based on Ephesians 6:10-17. Part of the believer’s armor is a shield called faith. What is faith? Faith is acting on the truth, which is God’s view of the matter. So, faith is only faith when it’s tied tightly to God’s […]
This week we will continue in our fall sermon series on “The Full Armor of God”, as found in Ephesians 6:10-17. We are instructed to put on the shoes of the gospel of peace. When Satan attacks by casting doubt or tempting us to believe lies, we need to dig our shoes of peace into […]
This week we will continue in our fall series on the Full Armor of God as found in Ephesians 6. God provides this armor but we are instructed to put it on, which requires a decision on our part.
