Fix Your Engine (May 11, 2025)

This week’s sermon:

Most of us know what it’s like to mean every word of a commitment to God and then watch ourselves fail it just the same. Peter, the disciple who promised to die for Jesus and then denied him three times, knew that feeling better than anyone. John 21 is for all of us who find ourselves in that failed committer camp.

The Joys of Christmas

Celebrating the Twelve Days of Christmas

Does joy end when the clock strikes midnight, closing out Christmas Day? Tim Butler’s new twelve days of Christmas devotional booklet the Joys of Christmas, which is our Christmas gift to you, invites us to embark on a journey to “store up” Christmas joy well beyond December 25. Following the Medieval meditative list known as the Joys of Mary, often encountered through the carol of the same name, we will explore a total of thirteen “joys” that all of us can experience from the life of Jesus. The following is an excerpt and you can download the rest for free in PDF form. A Kindle or print copy is also available inexpensively on Amazon.

Ladders Over the Wall (August 25, 2024)

This week’s sermon:

God Uses Dead Ends (August 13, 2023)

Sunday night’s message:

What happens when the life you planned collapses and your worst failure seems to have settled what you can ever become?

A Freezer That Floats (May 21, 2023)

Sunday night’s message:

We like life easy, so when following Jesus brings bumps instead of the smoother path we expected, we wonder what went wrong. Luke 9 reminds us that Jesus never promised following him would meet that expectation.
