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”

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

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”

Most of my Tuesdays are spent studying for both the upcoming Sunday sermon and the men’s class I lead on Wednesday evenings. After wrapping up my sermon prep, I shift gears to work on the men’s lesson. We’re currently going through a BetterMan series on courageously following God’s Word. As I read through the materialContinue reading “When Life Punches You in the Mouth”

It was 2007 when I took a phone call from my mother. She had always struggled with various health issues throughout her life.

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?”

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?”

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”

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”
