Open Your Hands
“You open your hand, satisfying the desires of every living thing.” Psalm 145:16 TNIV I would like to talk with you today about something very personal – your hands. Hands are fascinating. They’re capable of acts of intricate and amazing dexterity such as performing surgery or playing a musical instrument.…
Serving and Seeking God
Have you ever had an older family member tell you something that was really important before the two of you parted, perhaps never to talk with each other again? If you were going to tell a child or grandchild something you thought was really important to know, what would it…
The Power of Commitment
Today is a good day to talk about the power of commitment since there was such an excellent illustration of commitment rolling by the church last Sunday morning. More than 5,000 bicyclists, including our own Paul Goodhue, endured pain, discomfort, and inconvenience as they rode past BBC during their two…

We Are One
The last two Sundays we heard from Acts 9 how God kept pushing the first believers to step out in faith. Saul and Ananias, Tabitha and Peter – all were pushed by the Spirit of God to do things and pray with people in ways that stretched their faith and…
Stepping Out in Faith: Tabitha and Peter
Last Sunday I spoke about the story in Acts 9 of the conversion of Saul, better known as Paul, and the crucial role that Ananias played in praying with Saul and speaking God’s word to him. The Book of Acts describes how the movement bearing the name of Jesus spread…
When We Know Better than God – Ananias
Saul of Tarsus is such an important character in the New Testament and in church history that we wish we knew more about him. Still there’s a significant amount of information we can learn from a close reading of Acts and the letters that are attributed to him. We see…
Being A Refreshing Presence
Today I’m beginning a summer series on the theme Stepping Out in Faith. That’s something we need to do both as individuals and as a church. Throughout the next few months we’ll be looking at people in the Bible and in our own time who demonstrate faith and courage in…
