Song & Verse: Head to the Heart by United Pursuit

I open up to you | This love that makes me new | Oh may my heart receive | This love that carries me | From the head to the heart | You take me on a journey | Of letting go | And getting lost in you

ACAD – Rejected: Numbers 11

Complaining in the Desert Now when the people complained in the hearing of the Lord about their misfortunes, the Lord heard it and his anger was kindled. Then the fire of the Lord burned against them, and consumed some outlying parts of the camp. But the people cried out to Moses; and Moses prayed to theContinueContinue reading “ACAD – Rejected: Numbers 11”

Sermon: Jesus Is Now – Jesus Is Unifier

by Glenn Barteau Notes: Sin does not define our value and our place with God. Grace is the thing that determines our value. I don’t want us to be a church that where it comes to temptation, we just get better at hiding. I want us to be a church that get better at overcomingContinueContinue reading “Sermon: Jesus Is Now – Jesus Is Unifier”

Don’t lead with your pain.

There’s been an unconscious mantra making rounds in my head for the last few months. Don’t lead with your pain. Simple enough as thoughts go. A complex algorithm as far as implementation goes. No matter where I begin my life story, death has a starring role… or at least a pivotal one. I’ve always thoughtContinueContinue reading “Don’t lead with your pain.”

Happy Anniversary, Homeowner!

I have become a disgraceful servant by not glorifying my King. I know that everything I receive is not for my benefit, yes, I know that. Everything, absolutely everything I go through and receive is for God’s glory. My responsibility is to give Him praise and proclaim to the world all that He has done for me.

Sermon: THE BATTLE OF FAMILIARITY

Link to sermon here: The Battle of Familiarity by Pastor Carter Conlon. August 25, 2013 – We will all fight the battle of familiarity. It’s part of our sin nature to become bored with what we are doing. We can become familiar with the presence of God, ministry and relationships. Today we are reminded that when GodContinueContinue reading “Sermon: THE BATTLE OF FAMILIARITY”

Christian lifestyle is not a destination…

“I know, I know – sometimes you don’t want to overcome the temptation. You just want to do what you want to do. Times are hard. You need to take your joy where you can. I know. I’ve probably had the same self-talks, but I will tell you, there comes a time after you have surrendered your heart and your will to God that the temptations that once tortured you will barely register a blink when you’re confronted with it/them. The God in you is stronger than you think you can ever be.” Follow the link to read the whole post.

It’s the willingness that counts

In overcoming some challenges in relationships that my stubbornness has contributed to, I’ve noticed that the situations did not get better when I got my way or when the other person got theirs. For me, the situation always got better when I became WILLING to set aside my pride, my wants, my point of view,ContinueContinue reading “It’s the willingness that counts”

Try showing up.

The most empowering and spiritually edifying moments, during this same period, are those times when I showed up for myself. Those moments when God instructed me to do something — usually something that seemed outrageous to me and perhaps appeared crazy to the world — and I took Him at His word and did as I was told. Those moments have provided me with the most profound LIFE lessons of all.
