As a young baseball fan, I remember that Nolan Ryan was one of my favorite pitchers.  I am not the only one who held that opinion, because Nolan Ryan is one of the greatest pitchers baseball has ever seen.  He said to have thrown the fastest pitch ever clocked: 108.1 MPH! [1]  Ryan’s prowess on […]

This past month we have been covering the Fruit of the Spirit, a study which our pastor, Mark Adams, began just before his sabbatical.  Today we cover love.  Turn with me in your Bibles to Galatians 5:22-25.  In the verses immediately preceding this passage, the Apostle Paul gives us a list of the acts of […]

Introduction From my middle school days, I remember a few classes that were not particularly kind to me, especially to my report card.  One of those was geography, which was such a struggle that I still do not know where I am.  Another one was seventh grade English.  Miss Howard was a pretty no-nonsense kind […]

Have you ever made a New Year’s resolution?  Every year around this time, people make some sort of resolution – a commitment, usually to self-betterment or self-improvement.  We see areas where a year’s worth of routine has deleted some important behaviors and taken the meaning out of others.  With our eating habits over the holidays, […]

Introduction This morning, this past week, and for all of your lives, you have been impacted by a man named Edouard Benedictus.  How?  Edouard was a French chemist who made a wonderful accidental discovery.  One day in 1903, he was up on a ladder trying to grab a beaker, when it fell and broke on […]

I fear we might be in a small danger this morning as we celebrate Easter. This danger is particularly an issue because it does not seem like much of a threat. We are about to look at the Easter story, and like anything else, it is one that can lose its impact on our hearts […]

Introduction When I was a teenager, our youth ministry had an annual event that we always looked forward to; it was called Mystery Night.  Every October, we would travel to a camp for one night, break into teams, and try to solve some sort of murder mystery.  Each team would switch on their flashlights and […]

Sometimes in this life we have the right supplies to make it through successfully, but we tend not to utilize them, either. When we try to do the job without the right tools it can make us want to give up. I have spoken with a fair number of people in recent months who are in dire straits because they forget the promise of God’s power in their lives. Some are simply discouraged; others have faced too many challenges that have worn them down. These sorts of things can keep us from being the “Me’s” that God intended each one of us to be.

Introduction Since late September, Karen and I have had the joy of the morning school routine with our foster son, Angel. Each morning Angel has to wake up, shower, dress, eat breakfast, and get his things together — things that his snooze button sometimes forces him to accomplish at blinding speeds! He does a good […]

Introduction Let’s begin by taking a look Jeremiah 1:4-10.  Jeremiah was called to speak to the nation of Israel at a critical time, when they were turning away from God and needed to be warned of the coming judgment. Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying, “Before I formed you in the […]
