Pastor Dave shares with us incredible insight into these few verses from John 1:35-39. "Come and see." What a great invitation from Jesus as he extends that to us today.  Read More

The question is, “Why?” Why was Jesus baptized? John the Baptist was baptizing for repentance from sin to prepare the way of the Lord for salvation. But listen, this is what I want you to understand. Baptism pictures identification. When we are baptized, we are baptized into Jesus Christ, meaning we are fully identified with him. And so, check this out. Jesus came to be fully identified with us. His baptism represents his willingness to be fully identified with us as sinners. . .  Read More

Today, I realized that I need new brake pads and rotors. Honestly, it gave me a lot of anxiety to think about having to pay so much money to get my car fixed. Something that I feel like God is trying to change in me is my relationship with money and not making it an idol. And not making it something I’m afraid of or that I make bigger than God. . .  Read More

Pastor Dave and Daisy bring us today's "Encountering The Father" page for our Alone With God journal. We also are guided to look ahead to the next two days in the journal: "What Am I Grateful For This Week?" and "Sermon Notes."Here's a message for the Sunday Sermon if you are unable to make it to church, or if you would like to follow us as we're going through the Gospel of Mark, verse by verse. H...  Read More

The Book of John begins by showing us who Jesus Christ IS. We have to know WHO Christ IS to know who saved us for eternal life.   Read More

We have a part in showing the results of our salvation. That doesn't mean "work for" or "work to keep" our salvation. It means we get into a place where we are crucifying our flesh and allowing the new life of Christ to live in us.  Read More

We have got to come before our great High Priest, before the throne of our gracious God. We’ve got to spend time bowing before him, pouring our lives out to him, confessing our sins, and asking for him to strengthen us, forgive us, heal us, lead us, and guide us. We’ve got to go regularly before the throne of our gracious God to be continually made right in his sight.   Read More

Hope is such an important asset to have in this life. I’ve been thinking about this so, so much. . .  Read More

I hope you are doing well.Today, I wanted to share with you the daily devotion journal guides for the past week. These guides offer a unique approach to daily devotions.

Growing up, my dad used to tell me that a man has nothing if he doesn’t have hope. I think we live in a world where hope seems to be drowned out by the noise and chaos, but I want you to remember that that is just an illusion. . .  Read More

I was thinking about how important it is to lock arms with a fellow Christ-follower or two or three and follow Jesus together. The Bible makes it clear that we’re not made to follow Jesus alone. We need to lock arms with other Christ-followers and be motivated, encouraged, prodded, and accountable together. If you look through the Bible, you’ll see that there are no solo missions. . .  Read More

“As we behold,” as we are “consumed with” the glory of who Jesus Christ is as the exalted risen Lord; as we “behold his glory,” we are being transformed into his image. This is the secret of transformation in the Christian life. It’s “beholding.” It’s being “occupied with”. It’s "meditating on" the glory of Jesus. It’s a process of knowing him more and more and more intimately.   Read More

Our God is a relational God. God created Mankind in order to have relationship with us. When God created Adam and Eve in the Garden, he didn’t just give them study material to go off and read on their own. He didn’t hand them a New Believer’s Bible and say, “Go read this.” God created a beautiful place for Adam and Eve where he could have a real relationship with them. . .   Read More

When I was about four years old, my mom came to get me from my friend’s house. I wasn’t ready for playtime to be over. So, as my mom picked me up and put me on her hip, I bit right down into her shoulder. And she screamed in pain. But she did not drop me, she didn’t bite back, she didn’t yell at me. . . .   Read More

Our faith stands or falls on the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Resurrection is THE thing. It’s the crescendo. It’s the foundation. It’s the pillar on which our faith is built. Jesus Christ's Resurrection from the dead proves he has authority over and power over life and death.  Read More

Today we look forward to the victory of the Resurrection over sin and death and the grave.  Read More

When Jesus cried out, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” he was experiencing being separated from God as he paid the full penalty for our sin. Jesus is not questioning God. He is quoting from Psalm 22. And this is an unimaginably intense cry that, as Believers, you and I will not have to experience.   Read More

The Disciples are eating the Passover meal that was designed to teach Israel about the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world. And so, now Jesus, THE Passover Lamb, is eating Passover with the Disciples. Jesus Christ IS our Passover Lamb.   Read More

John Chapter 13 begins what we know as the Last Supper. Perhaps more importantly, it is the beginning of the Upper Room Discourse. The Gospel of John has an incredible set of chapters from 13 to 17, and this is the most condensed and intense teaching that Jesus gave to his Disciples. . . .  Read More

Join Pastor Dave as we meditate on John 12:23-26 in our Tuesday Passion Week Devotion. Grab your Alone with God Journal, or any journal, and your Bible, and spend some time 'alone with God' this morning.  Read More

Palm Sunday begins “Passion Week,” the final week of Jesus' completion of our salvation. This week takes up the majority of the gospels. More is written about this week in the gospels than any other event in Jesus' life because this is THE week. This is THE reason Jesus came.   Read More

Sometimes, I wonder when Jesus carried the Cross to his final moments; I wonder if the smell of the wood made him homesick. I wonder if it reminded him of his childhood or made his heart ache for Joseph, his earthly father, in the same way a smell can bring us back to a memory or a moment in time. . .  Read More

Consistent time in God’s Word and prayer are essential to our spiritual health, just as food and water are necessary for our physical well-being. . . It's so transformational.  Read More

Sometimes, it seems like things are just not going right. But we don’t have the big picture. In fact, we can’t have the big picture. What do we do when we don’t know what to do? What do we focus on when there are so many concerns? How can we ‘keep it together' when it all seems to be unraveling? One of God's answers is in Romans 12:12.  Read More
