Friends, I apologize for my erratic posting lately, I have been traveling and will again over the next three weeks. Bless you all and I’ll try to be in touch! Our scripture this morning is Psalm 33:4-5 (ESV). For the word of the Lord is upright, and all his work is done in faithfulness. He …
Our scripture this morning is Ephesians 6:12 (ESV).

Our scripture this morning is Romans 10:12-13 (ESV). For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” In the early church there was some concern …
Our scripture this morning is Genesis 1:3-4 (ESV). And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. Light plays an important part in the Bible story. It was the first thing God spoke into existence when He …
Our scripture this morning is Psalm 105:1-2 (ESV). Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name; make known his deeds among the peoples! Sing to him, sing praises to him; tell of all his wondrous works! This song of praise reminds us that God is the source of all things and we owe …
Our scripture today is Amos 5:24 (ESV). But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream. It may be an oversimplification, but it seems virtually every human problem we face stems from our lack of love for God and one another, and our failure to treat them as we want to …
