SUNDAY REFLECTIONS

Oh how these days in the New Year cause us to examine our hearts!  How many of us are willing to look inward with courage to see the sad state of our hearts and then ask GOD to change the sin there? Let’s be real here, most of the time our sin problem is a … More SUNDAY REFLECTIONS

SUNDAY REFLECTIONS

After you consider these things…….. And so the season of light is once again upon us.  But first and foremost we need to consider who JESUS is and why HE came into our dark world. MATTHEW 1: 21  “SHE WILL GIVE BIRTH TO A SON, AND YOU ARE TO GIVE HIM THE NAME JESUS, BECAUSE … More SUNDAY REFLECTIONS

THE DEPTH OF SIN

There are Christians today who have accepted JESUS but HE … More THE DEPTH OF SIN

Many have suffered loss during this pandemic season of 2020.   Loss of any kind makes us turn inward to examine … More THE GIFT OF LOSS

LET US WAIT ON HIM

We all wait on someone or something.  This Christmas all of us were waiting for the 25th to come.  Kids were waiting for Santa and parents were waiting for time off from work.  We all wait for a New Year with new possibilities. And so Immanuel has come……..GOD WITH US.  I made a conscious choice … More LET US WAIT ON HIM
