2/28/18 – God in Three Persons, Blessed Trinity
Take a look at the title of this week’s message. Do you recognize where it comes from? While we may know the song, and you may know the creed that affirms our belief in the triune God, how much do you know the third person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit? Now the question is…

1/21/18 – The Most Positive Final Word
Can you remember a time you went to the store and the clerk was so nice to you or to the person in line before you, that it made your day? You even went back to her line the next time to have that same pleasant experience again. What about that friend who never worries…

1/14/18 – The Preparation: Accepting Grace and Truth
There’s been a television show called Saving Grace. And another one was called Truth or Consequences. Truth and Grace: we often seem to operate more on one side or the other.

12/3/17 – First Week of Advent
As I typed “First Week of Advent,” I wondered if people not familiar with the church seasons would know what it means. Remember the scene in “The Polar Express” when at the north pole Santa shouts out, “the first gift of Christmas!” That gift was a bell. It symbolized the Spirit of Christmas. Advent is…
