Blessed by admin

“Blessed be the name of The Lord now and forever.” Psalm 113:12

I recently read this verse in my quiet time and one word stuck out to me more than the others; the word was “now”.

It is easy to “Bless the name of the Lord” when things are going well. But, the word “now” implies the moment we’re in. Whatever this moment holds in your life, whatever situation “now” finds you in, you need to bless the name of the Lord. Read more →

A Raspberry Parable by admin

“Then the disciples came and said to him, ‘Why do you speak to them in parables?’” Matthew 13:10

John and Steve had been roommates in college. After graduation they moved to different parts of the country. They stayed in touch mainly through Facebook, but they hadn’t seen each other in years. Finally, Steve had a chance to visit John on a business trip. They enjoyed catching up over dinner and after the meal, John showed Steve around his new home, including his yard. John had worked hard during his first few years in his new house and he had planted a number of trees and plants.

Resurrection by Tony D'Amico

This past weekend we celebrated Easter — the celebration of the death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. It’s a time to remember what Jesus did for us when He conquered death on the cross. You might still wonder, what is the significance of the Resurrection and what did it accomplish for us?

First, we can know that the Resurrection of Jesus Christ justifies us before God. In Romans 4:25 Paul writes… “Who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification.” Justification means, “the action of declaring or making righteous in the sight of God.” We can take great comfort in this truth. Because of our sinful nature we are separated from God and are not at all capable of a relationship with him (see more in Romans 6:28 and Isaiah 59:2). But, Jesus stepped in and took our punishment. He was the payment for our sins, something that we couldn’t do on our own!

Faithful by admin

“Moses was faithful in all God’s house as a servant, to testify to the things that were to be spoken later, but Christ is faithful over God’s house as a son.” Hebrews 3:5-6

In Exodus, we read that it took some time for Moses to accept the fact that God had huge plans for his life. You might wonder why that was?

God Goes Before You by admin

I decided to keep my thoughts short and sweet. I simply wanted to share with you the truth that God has been encouraging me with these past few months. You can find it in one of my favorite Bible passages — Psalm 139. Much of the Psalm is dedicated to the fact that we cannot escape from God’s presence. In fact, verse seven says just that: “I can NEVER escape from Your Spirit! I can NEVER get away from your presence!”

Hospitality by admin

“Let brotherly love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.” Hebrews 13:1

The New Testament is full of commands to “practice hospitality” so Krista and I have been striving to meet and show hospitality to our neighbors. God has given us opportunities to have four of our eight surrounding neighbors over for a meal in the past year. At Christmas time, one of our neighbors (who we had over for dinner a year ago), gave us a gift and card. In the card they wrote, “Merry Christmas to our best neighbors ever!” I was simultaneously encouraged and saddened by that. I was encouraged that they appreciated our hospitality so much. But, then I thought, “We just had you over for dinner once!”. We’ve talked to our neighbors when we have seen them outside, but “best neighbor ever”?! The hospitality bar is indeed low, but God can use us, Church.
