Knowing God
Over the past two weeks, we have heard from the pulpit that God knows us. We are known by God. Not just on a surface level, first name basis, but rather deeply and intimately known. But, I desire to flip that the other way onto us. Do we know God as He knows us? IsContinue reading “Knowing God”
Worn Out
Usually, when one of our boys comes to me and tells me they need a new one of something. Whether they lost it, or wore it out, I can’t help but sigh and think about the money and time it will take to replace whatever they need. Today’s “I wore it out” had a veryContinue reading “Worn Out”
How to Study the Bible?
The Word of God, as the psalmist proclaims, “is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” We speak often of the Bible as the “Truth,” His Word as being “God-breathed,” and “living and active.” Christians revere the Word of God, and understand it’s importance in instructing in all truth. But, haveContinue reading “How to Study the Bible? “
The Timothy Project
Sitting down to write this was a struggle that I’ve never really had before. I know why I put the project together, andI know exactly what I hope will happen because of it. But the question remains, how do I convey this to you? I suppose the project came around because of two thoughts thatContinue reading “The Timothy Project”

Who is Your Paul and Timothy?
Our spiritual growth is of the utmost importance. In order to take care of our spirits, and to grow in the Lord, we read our Bibles, pray, attend church, and/or volunteer to help others. But, when I examine my own walk with God, I can think of no greater spiritual growth tool than having aContinue reading “Who is Your Paul and Timothy?”
Family Worship
Throughout the Bible, God instructs us to be faithful and godly spouses, parents, and children. As we aim to emulate Christ in our personal lives, we also work to emulate Him in and through our families. Parents instill godly, Christian values and teachings in their children, with the hope that they one day grow upContinue reading “Family Worship”
Evangelism
Each week, I text with various men in our church and ask for ways that I can pray for them. A common response is to pray for boldness in sharing their faith, or what we call evangelism. Hearing that word may intimidate you, thinking, “evangelism isn’t my thing!” However, the call to share the GospelContinue reading “Evangelism”
A Call to Action
This blog post is in direct correlation to last Sunday’s sermon on “Connect | Grow | Serve.” Forgive the length of this, but there is much we wish to convey and unpack for you all. This post is neither a warning, or a reprimand, but rather a means in which to convey the church’s expectationsContinue reading “A Call to Action”
