Love of a Lifetime And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. – Ephesians 5:2 In June my parents will celebrate their 45th wedding anniversary. It fills me with so much pride (not the bad kind) to be the daughter of such […]
Have you ever regretted something, and the more you thought about it the more you found yourself saying, “If only”? Maybe it was something you said, or something you did, or a decision you made, but whatever it was left you with regret and the reverberation of “if only.” We all have those “if only” […]
Go There. Prayer. For the next four weeks our church will join together in a season of prayer leading up to National Day of Prayer. This past Wednesday, we gathered to watch War Room, a movie portraying the power of fighting our battles in prayer. I invite you to join us tonight (April 20, 2016) […]

And in Antioch the disciples were first called Christians. ––Acts 11:25-26 What is in a name? For believers in Jesus Christ, […]
Romans. I love reading Romans. The whole book is a rich assembly of deep theology and beautiful explanations of God’s redemptive plan for us. But Romans can be hard to digest in large quantities.
