Have you ever done the terrifying task of moving furniture in your home? Ok so it’s not all that terrifying but it could be! Let me explain. In our home, we most of the time eat in the kitchen but sometimes we’ll overflow into the living room. When we have more guests into our home…
This week at church we looked at one of the most adult rated stories in the entire bible. If this were made into a movie it would not be on television and it would likely not make it past your parental control settings. It was the story of Sodom and Gomorrah. Perhaps you know the…
It’s pretty easy to give words to Jesus. It’s way to simple to twist the words of the Bible to make them say just about anything we want. Over the past few weeks we’ve touched on just a couple of these statements that Jesus never said but we kind of think he said. The goal…
It was a little white lie. It was just a pack of gum. I didn’t mean to hurt them. I don’t really think it’s that big of a deal. But it’s not as bad as what she did! These are just a handful of the excuses we use to justify our actions. We try to…

In a recent study, random passers-by were asked what they believed about a variety of faith matters. In the next several weeks we’ll cover this…
One of my favorite bands has to be Rend Collective. Their style is just so unique and fun. One of their most recent songs is titled Rescuer. It’s a straight up gospel song. You can’t mix this message up. There’s only one thing they’re talking about and that’s Jesus. He alone is our rescuer.
Undeserving. It’s a simple word that pretty much sums up a large portion of my life. There are so many pats of my life that are simply more than I deserve. If I’m being honest what I deserve isn’t really worth talking about but what I have is worth bragging about to everyone. I mean…
What in life gets you going? What brings you energy and passion that can’t be silent? What are those things in life that just put a smile on your face even when you’re not trying to smile? When these things happen in our lives it’s like we break out in a happy dance without even…
