YOU SEE ME

We all want to be seen. It is vital for our mental and spiritual health. It is our obligation to see people through the eyes of Christ and let them know that they are important to their Creator. Let’s drill down into that with this message entitled “You See Me.”

LIGHT OF HOPE

Epiphany is upon us as we ponder the wise men and women, each seeking their star to follow. Our hope is in the light from our Heavenly Father brought to us through his son Jesus Christ.

WINGS

Let’s talk about getting stuck in our Christian growth and how to get unstuck. We’re going to look at Isaiah 40:31 and for some new encouragement.

GOD OF SECOND CHANCES

Yesterday passed With only a whisper As you step into A future That begins today.

But tomorrow awaits, Today a step towards What will be Tomorrow’s history. Another chance To make […]

WHAT ABOUT TOMORROW?

What about tomorrow? What does worrying profit us? We all do it, even the most fervent believers. Even though the Bible tells us in many places how worrying does nothing but cause us pain and anxiety. Let’s take a look at what James says about worry.

UNQUALIFIED JUDGE

Who are we to sit in judgement of others. There is already a judge. A pure, honest, loving, gracious, and merciful judge. Let’s take a look at James 4:12 (NIV): “There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?”

NEAR TO THE HEART OF GOD

Do we truly realize how much values our relationship to him? So much so, Jesus sacrificed himself for it. Drawing closer to God is our most pressing quest. Let’s talk for a moment about how to do that.

A LETTER FROM JAMES

If we are saved by grace, when why do we need to bother to work by doing good deeds and helping others. What’s in in for me? I already have heaven. What more do I need? As the song goes, “What’s love got to do with it?” WHY WORK? WHENCE COMETH MY WISDOM?

HONESTY IN OUR MOTIVES

Do we do good works to earn favor with God or do we do good works because we have an honest loving relationship with God and want to do what pleases him?                                     “Honesty in Our Motives”                            Rev Walt Wellborn The letter from James, the half-brother of Jesus, was written to the “twelve […]

Return to Me

“Return to Me” is the message reiterated throughout the Bible. It is a personal message to God’s children and it is a message that grows louder the farther we stray from him. He loves us so much that he provided a way through his son for us always to find our way back.

RIVERS OF JUSTICE

Let’s talk about justice for a few minutes as we engage with this message called: Rivers of Justice. Amos was a wise prophet constantly seeking justice for the less fortunate, a true champian of the underdog. Jesus fought for the underdog as well. How do we example this in our daily lives?

BLOWN BY THE WIND

“Blown By the Wind.” That usually signifies to us that someone is flighty, a free spirit. And, unfortunately, we often have a negative resonse to such people. But maybe it might surprise you that God talks about this; about being blown by the spirit, given to listening to his voice above our own. Join me […]

HIDDEN PATHS

Sometimes we feel that our choices are limited, and all the options available are not aligned with our core beliefs. That is often true because of the distractions of the world. If we take the time, we will discover that God will always reveal a path that is the right path, even if it is […]

RED LETTER CHRISTIANITY

Red Letter Christianity

What do we mean by “Red Letter Christianity,” and why is it important to us. Join me as we explore this concept and why we often find the teachings of Jesus to be radical and contrary to human nature. My prayer is that you always find comfort and guidance in the words of Jesus Christ.

A NEW SONG

Let’s talk about what it means to sing “A New Song.” The scripture passage for this message comes from Psalm 40:1-3. Join me as we explore what David means when he says “He put a new song in my mouth.”

THE COST OF PRIDE

Probably the hardest thing to deal with in our Christian walk is our own pride. Our default is not humility. Humility has to be learned and developed. Join me now in about message about dealing with the Cost of Pride as we look at the Tower of Babel.

CONVERSATIONS… THAT NEVER HAPPENED

“Conversations… That Never Happened.” Conversations that we might find in our halls of leadership today where people surround themselves with those who will make them look good, where people are hired and fired based on optics. Every time I hear one of these messages, I just want to shout, “Just like Jesus?” Jesus embraced the […]
