He Has A Dream

The following is an excerpt from Martin Luther King Jr’s “I Have a Dream” speech: I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the LordContinue reading “He Has A Dream”

Rest in Jesus

“You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!”  -Isaiah 26:3 NLT “Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

The Battle of the Mind

Mental health is a topic that most people don’t like to talk about. But our mental health is extremely important. The way we think and process things can affect our lives tremendously. Every single action begins with a thought. If we don’t think it, then the reality is we won’t do it. This is whyContinue reading “The Battle of the Mind”

God Has A Plan For Our Lives

We’ve all heard it said that God has a plan for our lives. And I’m learning more and more that He won’t just use our gifts to fulfill those plans, He’ll use our weaknesses and challenges as well. As I was thinking about this, there were a couple people in the Bible that came toContinue reading “God Has A Plan For Our Lives”

Learning to Listen and Obey

A few weeks ago in church, I was challenged to step out of my comfort zone. I was praying and seeking the Lord during worship like I always do. And then, suddenly, I felt this weird pain in my left ankle. It wasn’t anything I had ever felt before. I tried to ignore it andContinue reading “Learning to Listen and Obey”

God is For Us

In Romans 8, there’s an interesting scripture that asks a compelling question: “What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?” – Romans 8:31 Think about that for a moment: If the God of the universe—who knows all things and created all things—is for us, thenContinue reading “God is For Us”

Greater Love

Last week, I had the honor of officiating my grandfather’s graveside service at Willamette National Cemetery. He was a 98-year-old veteran who served in the Navy during World War 2. It was fascinating to me as a kid to hear the stories of my grandpa firing guns off the ships at enemy planes. At theContinue reading “Greater Love”

New Every Morning

For many, the new year is a fresh start. They make their New Year’s resolutions hoping that this next year will be better than the last. The cool thing for those that follow Jesus is that we don’t have to wait until the next year for a fresh start. In Lamentations 3, we’re told thatContinue reading “New Every Morning”

The Season of Love

In our service on Sunday, we lit the fourth advent candle, which represents Love. And when we stop and think about that first Christmas, we realize that LOVE is what Christmas is all about. It’s about the sacrificial love of Jesus.  At Christmas, it’s so easy to focus on the world’s idea of Jesus. ThisContinue reading “The Season of Love”

A Season of Joy

This week at church, we continued lighting the advent candles with the candle that represents Joy. In Luke 2:10, the Angels proclaim: “I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.” That word Joy is an interesting word. Often times we treat joy and happiness as if they were the same.Continue reading “A Season of Joy”
