Following God's Plan

Last Sunday we celebrated our graduating high school seniors. Mark Twin once said "The two most important days in your life are the day you were born and the day you find out why” The scripture was from Jeremiah 29:10-14. "For I know the plans I have for you” declares the Lord. “Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me

The Ninety and the Nine

Most everyone knows the parableof the shepherd and the lost sheep. To paraphrase Matthew 18:12, a shepherd had 100 sheep.

Jesus washed the disciples’ feet as an act of humility and service, thereby setting an example that we should love and serve one another in humil

Holy Week

The power of the cross lies in its ability to transform lives and reconcile humanity with God. It is the ultimate symbol of victory—victory over sin and death. It offers forgiveness and restoration to all who embrace its message. As we approach Holy Week, let us remember all the Jesus sacrificed for us, so that we may live eternally with him. Come join us at our Maundy Thursday and Easter Service.

Choices

We all make decisions that are more now centered than future centered. And it is our future for which we should be concerned – our eternal future. I have a one-minute pocket bible. In it are all kinds of topics with advice supported by scripture and some gems of wisdom.  There is a page on decision making: - in addition to Joshua 24:15 “as for me and my house we will follow the Lord” there is Proverbs 16:20 He that handles a matter wisely shall find good: and who trusts th
