Acts 6:8-15, 7:51-8:3 A father was trying to teach his three sons to do their fair share of the house cleaning. The first place that he started was the bathroom. Dad crammed the three boys into the room and proceeded to clean the toilet in front of them. Alright, I’ve showed them, the father…
Real Church is Messy
Acts 5:1-11, 6:1-7 This summer, as we study together through the book of Acts, I wish that we could talk about every single verse… but we simply don’t have time. So I hope that you are checking out our daily video devotion – which can be found on our facebook page OR on our church…
The Spirit of the Lord is Upon Us!
Text: Luke 4:18-19, Acts 1:8, 2:1-4, 38-39 One of the things that we have re-discovered and remembered this year is that church is not a building. We have a building, sure. But the church is the people. You and me. The body of Christ. In the same way, the presence of God is not confined…

Living Proof
Text: Luke 24:36b-48 Did the resurrection actually happen? I know what you are thinking… that’s an awfully strange question for a pastor to be asking. But I wasn’t there. You weren’t there. It happened a really long time ago. If someone asked me that question today, if I had proof that Jesus is alive, what…

Scientifically speaking, it happens every single day, at every single moment, somewhere across this globe. Our planet travels each year in an orbit that is 584 million miles in circumference, but every…
