I know there is a lot going on this time of year between kids sports, school ending, graduations happening, vacations coming, weddings planning, and summer cranking up. I hope you are taking time to chill and not getting too stressed over the details. A friend of mine passed from this world into [...]

I like Blackaby’s devotional today. My whole life in church I have heard people say that God must be with them if they are successful. You can be successful without God. There are lots of people who don’t ever acknowledge God that are successful. Success can be a great temptation to go at it alone [...]

Sunday was an incredible day at LCC. There was a very high energy and excitement during our worship and teaching time and the energy in the hallways and around the coffee bar was contagious. I taught an intro. to the Gospel of Luke. I will be teaching through Luke and it has been a blast [...]

Beginning this morning I am going to be teaching my church through the Gospel of Luke. Part of my fascination with this Gospel is that Luke was not a Jew. He is probably the only Gentile to contribute to the writings of the Word of God in the Bible.
To a Roman Gentile like Paul, the physicalness [...]

Last night I met with my monthly men’s discipleship group. We had just read John Maxwell’s Be a People Person. One of the topics we talked about was that to be a successful leader we have to be willing to risk with both our dreams and in our relationships with other people. We talked about what [...]

In today’s devotional by Henry Blackaby he comments on Phil 4:8 and reminds us, according to God’s Word, we are we we think.
And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and [...]

Last Sunday I did a Teaching I called, “Where is the Father when I don’t Feel Him?”. The truth the Bible teaches is that God is always present. Our feelings often lie to us, but God’s truth never changes and is always truth. A good example of God’s omnipresence is Psalm 139:7-12. If a Christ-follower can [...]

Dear Friends and Family,
How is this for a word you don’t hear much? Omnipresent. It means, according to dictionary.com, present everywhere at the same time. Why don’t we ever use the word omnipresent? Its a pretty cool word. Because nothing is omnipresent. Nothing is omnipresent except God. Don’t do a word [...]
