Humility and vulnerability are two of the most difficult traits to hone and display to others. Both seem to indicate that we must overcome the fear of how others see us: OUR FEAR of judgment! All of us present a façade to the world and to become humble and vulnerable requires we allow others to…

Greetings all. I apologize for missing the last two Sunday sermons. Life happens and it certainly did. On December 31, 2023, I had an exact replication of my heart attack symptoms and ended up spending 3 days in ICU. Much has happened since then, but most importantly I came to understand what health is, what…

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE! My Christmas gift to you is a summarized story about Jesus that you can read to your entire family, tonight or tomorrow. Short, succinct, and truthful… Jesus, born, then placed in a manger, weathering the external elements and with animals surrounding Him, is about as humble a beginning as any being can…

Greetings all! I have returned from a much-needed vacation with my family and a week at the beach with my youngest grandchildren. I am taking my own advice about self-care, which feels amazing! It is time to get VERY serious about our attitude of servitude and this sermon will help lead you home. The FINAL…

Calmly resting in the arms and promises of God results in peace. A peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7) Jesus told us “I leave you with MY peace, not the peace of the world… (John 14:27) These scriptures intimate that there is a peace available to us that we do not fully understand and…

If you look at people prior to technology you will observe humans who were PHYSICALLY active, healthier, and happier just providing for, interacting with, and…
