Easter Service Times-March 31st 6:30, 8:00, 9:30, & 11:00am

Planned Spending

We read Proverbs 31 on Mother's Day or at grandma's funeral, but that Proverbs 31 woman is an incredible financial role model. She's out there in real estate, savvy with money, and generous to the poor.

Real Prosperity

How many truly happy people do you know? Does anybody even know what happiness is? We confuse it with pleasure and convenience. But surely there's more. What's life about? What's worth the pursuit?

Thinking Ahead

When you were born you got one life to live. One physical body. One mind. One set of relationships. Financial resources. One chance at doing something. Impossibly marvelous things may happen. So how do you keep from wasting it?

What Child Is This?

Queen Elizabeth traveled with 4000 pounds of luggage, 40 pints of plasma, and her own royal toilet seats. When Jesus came to us, they swaddled him in rags and laid him in the straw. Its unfathomable, what he left to be with us, the price he paid to save you.

O Little Town Of Bethlehem

The carol about the little town says "the hopes and fears of all the years" collide in Bethlehem, and it's true. Public celebration of Christmas is canceled this year in the very birthplace of Jesus. Bethlehem is in Palestinian territory, and conflict with Israel rages. Have mercy.

Go Tell It On The Mountain

We'll never know who first sang the words or hummed the tune. It was a slave song. First it was called " Christmas Plantation Song." Now we call it, "Go, Tell It On The Mountain." So next time you sing it in church, think of the ones who sang it in chains.

It Came Upon The Midnight Clear

The angels sang of peace the night Jesus was born. That was 2000 years ago, years full of war, sin, and strife. This is the tension we face, singing, "It Came Upon The Midnight Clear." What happens, when faith meets disappointment?

Strong Hands

Nehemiah prays 4 months, preparing to build a wall that gets built in 52 days. Why does the praying take longer than the work? It doesn't. The praying is the work. Praying is not the least you can do. It's the most you can do.

The Fight-Nehemiah

The devil thinks you'll turn away if he can make you feel ridiculous for following Jesus. He makes the world laugh at you. You feel stupid, on the wrong side, uncool. This is how the devil fights. Are you going to follow Jesus? Prepare to be mocked. And worse.

Your Own Backyard

Most people skip Nehemiah Chapter 3. It's a lot of names, regular people doing regular things on regular days. We don't know or care about them. But God knows and cares about them. Just like he knows and cares about you.
