The last words of the Old Testament speak of a prophet who will appear and prepare the way for the Messiah to come.  These words are found in Malachi 4:5-6 which state, “Behold, I am going to send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the Lord. He will restore the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers, so that I ...  Read More

The word “Trinity” is not found anywhere in the Bible. However, it is found everywhere in the Bible.  From beginning to end, all three are mentioned individually, as a couple, and all three at one time.  Individual persons but one God.  Equal in divinity.  That is the Trinity. The word “Trinity” is just a simple one word explanation of stating 4 sentences: 1)    God is one 2)   The Father is God 3)  ...  Read More

I remember going fishing with my Dad when I was younger.  We were at a reservoir that rented boats and my Dad took me out on the lake.  We fished several different places and we didn’t even get a nibble.  After a couple of hours, I became very frustrated.  My Dad turned to me and said, “Well now we can really start fishing since now we know where the fish aren’t.”  His positive attitude changed my...  Read More

It was a great pleasure to have Pastor John McGuire preach this past Sunday and continue our sermon series on “Labor of Love”.  I would like to reiterate something that he said in that message. A rare Greek word for love is “agapeo” which refers to a selfless, sacrificial, unconditional love. The New Testament frequently uses it to explain God's love for people as well as the love that believers ar...  Read More

Back in the 1970’s, a large company had purchased around 100 state of the art electric typewriters.  A few weeks after purchasing them, a thunderstorm came up in the middle of a working day.  The building was struck by lightning and every single one of those brand new electric typewriters was fried.  It took weeks to replace them and productivity at the company slowed down to a snails pace. One Fri...  Read More

The warm weather this week has reminded me of summer and trips to the beach.  I love the nighttime on the beach when people shoot fireworks over the ocean.  I love the way that they rocket way up into the night sky and plummet to earth leaving a fiery trail.  When they hit the water, they disappear.  The vastness of God’s great love is like the ocean that extinguishes the flames of our wrongdoings...  Read More

As we continue to look at what it means to serve others, think for a moment of the most disgusting person who has hurt you the worst.  The person may have betrayed you.  They may have damaged you morally, emotionally or physically.   Now listen to what Jesus told us in the Parable of the Good Samaritan. In Luke 10:25-37, Jesus is being tested by a Lawyer.  In that culture, a lawyer was an expert in...  Read More

In 1 Peter 4:7, we are reminded that Jesus is coming soon as Peter wrote, “The end of all things is near…”.  The signs of His Second Coming are all around us. His imminent return is not a reason to panic or be anxious.  Instead, it should give us a sense of urgency to serve God even more today than we did yesterday.  That is why Peter stated in that same verse, “…therefore, be of sound judgment an...  Read More

When it comes to serving, have you ever thought of yourself as useless?  Maybe you see your circumstances as an obstacle to being able to serve God.  Maybe it’s your health, your age, or maybe you just have a low opinion of yourself in which you think of yourself as lacking in talent or ability.  Whatever the case may be, there are none that useless to God. At the age of nine, Walt Davis became tot...  Read More
