If God is always working, why is life so hard?

Do you ever wonder why life is so hard? In Genesis 50:20, after a roller-coaster ride of a life, Joseph says these astounding words, “As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good”. If you’re unfamiliar with this particular bible story…let me catch you up to speed. Joseph is considered…

We Will Speak Into Racism With You

The last couple of days have been difficult for many of us and I️ have been silent…not out of complicity…but rather to slowly process and take in the recent racism occurrences. To be honest with you, my emotions have run the gambit and I️ don’t have the right words to say. Nor can I fully…

WHEN THOUGHTS RUN WILD WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?

When Our Thoughts Run Wild

Matthew 8:24-34, Luke 8:26, Mark 5:1-20 Immediately after landing from the sea, a man approached Jesus whose thoughts run wild. Crazy and half out-of-his-mind. He lived among the tombs and no one could contain him, not even with a chain. Night and day his demons tormented him. You would say he is insane. With the…

Who (or What) Do You Worship?

Over the past few months, I️ have reflected inwardly and asked myself the poignant question, “Who (or what) do you worship?” As sports, events, family, and friends have been banned and life has slowed down, I’ve noticed a lot of unnecessary things that I️ spend my time and energy on. There are some things that…

LENT: ETERNAL

Mark 5-6 The action-packed journalistic style of the book of Mark continues with snapshots of Jesus’ earthly ministry. Unfolding before our eyes is a Savior who has relentless compassion in a world stock-full of bad news. Jesus doesn’t ignore the problems, but rather confronts the evil and reveals His character of mercy, love, and hope.…

LENT: SOWER

Mark 4 I’m loving the book of Mark and all the great stories! Did you know that 75% of the Bible consists of stories! There is such power in a story! One that you’ve probably heard numerous times before is : The Parable of the Sower and Reaper I️ think this is a perfect text…

LENT: RADICAL

Mark 3 Jesus’ own family thought He was crazy. Gone mad, some might say. As I️ read today’s text, it did make me chuckle. So indulge me for a bit. Preposterous Claims Place yourself back in the time of antiquity, without the context of what’s to come next. Imagine growing up in the home of…

LENT: FOLLOW

Mark 2 If you have been following along during this study of Lent as we prepare for Easter, I️ want to let you know that we will turn our attention to the book of Mark for the remainder of our study. And today as I️ read Mark 2, my attention is caught up by the…

Do You Have Grit in Your Faith?

Do you have the grit to grow in your faith? Or, is your time with God just ho-hum? During the days of COVID-19, have you grown closer to God….or farther away? I’ll admit, it has been weird to just do online church and zoom bible study. It’s not necessarily my cup of tea. God Doesn’t…

GOD NEVER CHANGES DESPITE UNKNOWNS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Surviving Amid Uncertainties and Unknowns

As the world turns, you may find yourself struggling with the uncertainties and unknowns in life. It doesn’t feel quite right to become accustomed to our new norms of “pandemic”, “quarantine”, “closures”, “racism” and “police reform.” In the mix of it all, our souls are stirred and we don’t know where to find solid ground.…

At The End of The Day, Can Love Win?

I️ know many of us are troubled by the recent events in our country, left scratching our head, “Can love really win?” From outward appearances, we seem to be sinking in quicksand. The news is heavy and weighty. People are downcast with gloom. Many are pondering, “Hey God, it doesn’t look like love can win“. I️…
