Current Series
Our Winter Series, "One Life Changed the World" is based on the Gospel of John. I'll post slides here and there to meet requests for some of the more involved visuals being used during this series. We will study John through Easter and conclude by the end of April. I hope you'll be challenged to allow the one life of Jesus Christ to change not only the world...but change you from the inside out.

WAIT and Renew
September 9th, 2022
Friday email - September 9, 2022 Jerry Seinfeld’s stand-up featured our American complaints about the “waiting room.” Why? Because it’s very name indicates we will have to wait. And I believe this is a true statement: We’re not good at waiting! Our world is designed for speed and hurry. We typically view waiting as a waste of time. When our son traveled to Uganda an invitation was extended to “sit...

Cutting words, creating clarity, and making it simple takes work and intentionality. Complexity can happen by accident. Simplicity demands focus. This is true in life as well.During the past two years, simplicity was forced on many of us...
