When I was a little girl attending Sunday school, my mom’s biggest concern was what I wore. I had to dress to the utmost best for church. I didn’t realize at the time that’s how she was raised and that’s just how it was. You go to church in your “Sunday best”. We can take […]
I live in Pennsylvania and usually we have four seasons. The season I want to talk about today is the season of fall going into winter when the leaves have come off the trees. It is amazing how much you can see when all the coverage is gone; when you have a much clearer view […]
1 Thessalonians 5:15-22 I can’t remember where I heard this quote before but I think it is a sentence in a country song. It goes something like, “don’t let your mind out think your common sense”. These days, we are told so often we must have open minds and be tolerant of everybody and everything no […]

Revelation 4:1-11 Some of us will receive a crown for what we did on earth when we go home with God. So picture this; You had a bad car wreck. The car burst into flames while you are stuck in the car because your seat belt wont unbuckle. You see your life flashing before your […]
Titus 3:4-7 I have a friend who usually has one or more projects he works on just to keep busy. His latest project was restoring an old piece of furniture that someone was actually going to throw into a trash pile. I suppose they just thought it would take too much time and effort in […]
Philippians 4 For Paul, joy is a defining attribute of the church. Does “joy” characterize the church today?
