Pastor, I Can’t Remember the Sermon

Do you struggle with retaining the information from the Sunday sermon? Maybe in the moment, you’re agreeing with everything you hear from the pastor, only to find yourself on Monday or Tuesday having completely forgotten the details. Or maybe even in the moment as you listen to the sermon, you have a hard time followingContinue reading “Pastor, I Can’t Remember the Sermon”

Pastor, I Feel Disconnected

I want to see you develop godly friendships. I want to see you grow alongside us.

Tekel

A verse that has lingered in my mind ever since Keith preached through Daniel is Daniel 5:27, “Tekel, you have been weighed in the balances and found wanting.” The context is that God has written on the king’s wall and Daniel is interpreting the words back to the king. “Tekel” being one of the words.Continue reading “Tekel”

How Can I Pray For You?

Something that I notice in most of Paul’s letters, is that he tells his recipients that he’s been praying for them. I think this is a wonderful thing that Paul does. Not only is he praying for these people, but he’s telling them he’s praying for them. I know from personal experience the love andContinue reading “How Can I Pray For You?”

Good Advice or Godly Counsel?

Something I have always been thankful for is the amount of godly friendships and influences I have in my life. It has been an incredible blessing to know that those who are a part of my “inner circle” of friends truly love and care for me, and want me to grow in godliness. Every MondayContinue reading “Good Advice or Godly Counsel?”

Prayer

Take away all the time you spend asking God for things during your prayers and how long would they be? One minute? Fifteen seconds? Prayer is a powerful tool in which the Christian finds themself directly in the presence of God, even if we are in our kitchen, car, or office. And yet, I believeContinue reading “Prayer”

Biblical Correction: Giving

At some point in your Christian life, you have probably heard something to the effect of, “if you see someone walking in sin, you need to correct them.” Additionally, many of us strive to obey the words of Proverbs 27:17, “Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.” So, when we see a brother orContinue reading “Biblical Correction: Giving”

The Comfort in Reading

Things don’t always go as planned. My 2024 is already off to a bad start…and it’s only January 2nd! Towards the end of every December,I always plan out new years goals, and I’m always proud to say I either hit those goals, or land very close to them. And so last week I began, withContinue reading “The Comfort in Reading”

When God Says “No”

Nobody enjoys being told “no,” just ask the child who wants to eat dessert right before dinnertime. Regardless of who we are, we all want certain things, or to do certain things, and when we’re told that we can’t, we can get unhappy. For the child at least, they will come to understand the whyContinue reading “When God Says “No””

To the Skeptic and the Encourager

Over the past week, my soul has leapt for joy as I have seen my alma-mater break out in a revival. My social media pages are flooded with dear friends and former classmates taking pilgrimages back to Wilmore to see firsthand what has been going on. The eyewitness accounts are unanimous: the revival is authentic,Continue reading “To the Skeptic and the Encourager”
