June 11: How to Witness to Anyone and Everyone

June 7, 2011

Mar 11: The Month of Faith and Joy … and Love and Peace and Patience

March 2, 2011

Last month I reminded us all that 2011 as the year of Faith and Joy, then I added Love to the list.  This month two other ‘fruit’ of the ‘fruit of the Holy Spirit’ are being added.  Our theme of Faith and Joy is very appropriate for us to think about during 2011.  Joy should [...]

TRIALS – bring ‘em on!
The last weekend sermon I preached in September was about the need for trials to come into our lives to prove our faith.  Without trials we have no idea how we are doing.  Without competition a runner, rower, gymnast, or any athlete will not get better.  It is only in the [...]
