I know. I know. Christmas is supposed to be a sign of joy. But where is the joy? Perhaps you are not feeling it. Sociologists tell us that Christmas is one of the saddest times of year for many people. As we light the joy candle, the Shepherd’s candle today, we may wonder why we should rejoice. Again, in the life-giving stream of scripture we discover the head-waters, the source of the spring of joy in our lives. Good news! God’s joy includes us. Message based on Zephaniah 3:14-20 and Acts 16:25...

Someone has vandalized the shalom. How do we know? Things are not the way they are supposed to be. To be more specific, before Christ, we are not the way we are supposed to be. Paul, who found peace in Christ, wrote a letter to the church in Ephesus, reminding them that the Lord had given them peace with God and each other, through his own death. Then he urged them to make every effort to live in unity through the bond of peace. What will we do with the peace we have found in Christ? Please pass...

Malcolm Muggeridge prayed, “Lord, help us never to lose the wonder.” I wonder. Have we lost the wonder? Our awe is too quickly eclipsed by “awwww!” We have seen it all. Nothing new under the sun. The early believers lived with an eye to the sky, knowing that Christ would return. Today we light one candle, but there are more to come. Stand on your tiptoes. The baby born in Bethlehem will someday come in the clouds and every eye will see him as the trumpet sounds. How then shall we live? Holy. The...

How full is your life? Our calendars are full. But are our hearts full? Chuck Swindoll said, “The more busy we are, the more empty we become.” God wills that we live full lives. Full of God, in Christ, we are joyful, prayerful, thankful people. But how do we give thanks in all circumstances? Our trust in God’s providence makes us thankful, even when our external circumstances seem to defy our gratitude. I am not always grateful for the things which happen in life, but I am always thankful that w...

Description Pulpit Guest, Tyler Ballard explores the profound and often challenging concept of finding joy in the midst of sorrow. Avoiding pain can lead to emotional numbness, while embracing our suffering can connect us more deeply with Jesus' own trials and triumphs. Tyler shares insights from John 16, 2 Corinthians 6, and Psalm 56 to guide us through the process of authentic rejoicing, even when life’s hardships seem overwhelming. We’ll also touch upon the hopeful vision presented in Revelat...

What does the Bible say our loved ones who have fallen asleep are doing right now? What happens to us when we die? An atheist acquaintance of mine says, “Nothing.” The scripture corrects that false assumption. After leaving life-lessons for Solomon, David rested with his ancestors and was buried. In Psalm 16:9-11, he expressed confidence that he would live after he died. Then his descendant King Jesus defeated death on Resurrection Sunday. His victory is also ours. Our “with-God” life here conti...

What will your last words be? Not to be morbid, but we may have a chance to speak meaningful words to our family before we leave this world. What will we say? The writer of 1 Kings shows us a picture of David speaking final words to his son Solomon. In his “last will and testament,” David urges his son to walk in obedience to God, setting a pattern of faithfulness, so that generations of his descendants might reign on David’s throne. As we think about the legacy of our lives, we look to the Word...

King David had many children. His parenting styles with different children led to mixed results. One wonders if his own guilt over his previous failures paralyzed him and prevented him from correcting his children’s mistakes. It is hard to find great examples of parenting in the families described in scripture. There was no perfect family then or now. But we do have a perfect Father who disciplines us in love to make us holy. Will we receive his discipline? Message based on 1 Kings 1:5-10 and He...

What do we do when we know we have made a mistake? David’s pride led to a cataclysmic fall. Plague decimated his people. He prayed for them. God sent Gad the prophet to give him instructions. David built an altar at the threshing floor of Arauna. Then he paid for and made a sacrifice to the Lord that day. Someone will pay for our sins. We can either use the installment plan, or accept the perfect sacrifice of God’s only Son. There is no worship without sacrifice. Message based on 2 Samuel 24:18-...

How do we deal with the rebellious people who shake their fists at God? Are they our enemies? Are we ever like them? David’s son Absalom led a full-scale rebellion against his dad, usurping his throne and burning the bridge with his father. As David and his household ran for their lives, he asked his men not to harm Absalom. When Absalom died, David poured out his heart. He said he wished he had died in place of his rebellious son. Who loves like that? Do we? Message based on 2 Samuel 14:4-8, 12...
