Pick a card, any card! Is this your card? Matthew 21:1-11 https://vimeo.com/123916564 I can’t tell you how much I enjoy magic tricks. Even discovering how the magic trick is done is so impressive to me. I think about the level of detail and research required to pull off something so […]
A church in Oregon put an announcement in the local newspaper for an upcoming program they were having entitled, “Our God Resigns.” Shortly after that announcment was printed, a correction notice in the same local newspaper followed and read, “Our God Reigns.” They were so embarrassed.

The question just sat on my heart after Sunday’s message. My honest answer was “no.” The question is so powerful and hits the nail on the head with Jonah and with me. Jonah wasn’t concerned about God’s agenda. What broke Jonah’s heart was a plant dying, not people dying spiritually and […]
For the last few weeks, we have really dissected the entire book of Jonah. Chapter by chapter–verse by verse. A man in the bible disobeyed God, got swallowed up by a whale in the great big sea and was later spit out onto dry land. Lucky guy that Jonah was. […]
He is the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end. (Revelation 22:13) He is the creator of the universe. (Genesis 1) He longs to be gracious to me. (Isaiah 30:18) He numbers the hairs on my head. (Luke 12:7) This past Sunday, we began our second to last […]
