The Embers Leading Worship April 3

April 3 is shaping up to be a great Sunday. The Embers will be leading worship for us in the Sunday morning service.  Regulars will remember the songs ‘flood’ and  ‘folks like us’ that we sing pretty regularly, and we’re just now introducing ‘wildfire’ on Sunday mornings.  It will be a blast to worship with [...]

What pain and suffering thousands of people are enduring after the earth quake and tsunami.  Our heart goes out to them, and many will do more and actually fly over and lend a helping hand.  We’ll try to alleviate all the pain we can.  Helping people deal with pain is a pastor’s work.  And it [...]

Starting the New Year with 2 Corinthians – and YouVersion Live Events

We start the new year with a new study in 2 Corinthians.  I’m really looking forward to teaching this book because of its relevance to our lives.  It so happens that the culture of Corinth was really similar to our culture today, so much of what Paul addresses will apply easily to how we view [...]

Final Advent Word – Gift

The message Sunday morning, 12/26, was going to be about the word ‘gift’.  Since we didn’t have church, I’m going to share with you a letter that came from the Vineyard National office.  I was going to share it anyway, so here it is: I want to wish each of you a Merry Christmas as [...]

We’ve never done this before, but because of the fact that we expect a very small turnout on the day after Christmas, and because the National Weather Service is predicting hazardous road conditions for the entire day tomorrow, we are not going to hold church services Sunday December 26.  Please call anyone you know who [...]

What kind of Thanks?

Advent season this year has been spiritually fruitful on my end.  On each of the four Sundays in Advent, we’ve looked at 4 traditional words inspired by Jesus’ coming: Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love. Hope and peace are vital experiences Christians can enjoy, but what I learned about Joy has been lingering in my thoughts. [...]

Culture and Spiritual Gifts

Well, we just finished up our study of the spiritual life of Moses.  I don’t know about anyone else, but I learned a lot.  Really. Moses was an extraordinary leader, but it was more because he listened to God than anything else.  God kind of set him up for it by dealing with him in [...]

Life Post Pitfalls

My personal mission statement is embedded in the pastor/teacher role Paul referenced in Ephesians.  I understand that to mean that I am specifically called to do my part in ‘equipping the saints to do the work of ministry’.  Well, God has been pressing us in our  call to make disciples, and we have been focusing [...]
