Be Careful What You Ask For
Good morning. It is an honor and a real pleasure to be standing in front of you this morning. I realize I have big shoes to fill in preaching behind this pulpit but I trust that God has a word to share with each of you so my prayer before…
Where Am I Going?
After worship last Sunday somebody asked me if I was having a midlife crisis because of my sermons the last few weeks, “Who Am I?” and “What Am I Doing Here?” I laughed and said I was fine – these three sermons were a response to what I have been…
What Am I Doing Here?
I am really pleased that our team working on our Sunday School program that starts in September is putting together a great year that will focus on some of the most important scriptures for our children, and all of us, to know. One of the passages the children will learn…

Creational Interdependence: the Source of our Unity
Did you notice that for the past two weeks Pastor Doug has been talking about unity in one way or another. On Pentecost Sunday he spoke about how the power of the Holy Spirit turned 120 Christ followers into translators of God’s love. They were enabled to create unity by…
Walking the Borders
Happy Father’s Day to all the dad’s and granddads here today, what a blessing it is to be a father. I would like to begin by showing you a couple pictures of the border crossing between Israel and Jordan….but I can’t, because we were not allowed to take pictures at…
The Unity of Pentecost
“When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue…
The Price of Freedom
Memorial Day Weekend is an appropriate time to reflect on freedom. People who have been in prison may have an appreciation for freedom that others do not.

In The Foot Steps of Jesus
Those of us who went on the pilgrimage to the Holy Land had a memorable experience. We appreciated your prayers for us while we were away. One of the highlights for many of us was our time on the northwest shore of the Sea of Galilee where so much of…
