Not Done Yet
Each of us experiences moments where we feel like God has forgotten about it, or failed to show up in a time of need or desperation. When life doesn’t go the way we planned, our gut reaction is to blame God for not coming through. When we pray for God to save or protect us…
Follow and Obey
God created each of us for a unique purpose and wired us up to do something great that only we can do. By following and obeying His leading we get to experience the freedom and fulfillment of living with purpose. But that can be scary, because God’s call always leads us out of our comfort zone….
Ghost Stories: The Enemy is a Tempter

I spoke at First Christian Church this past Sunday about God’s love that has overcome everything to draw us close. Here’s the video. By the way, this whole series was incredible. If you’d like to watch video from the other messages, you can find them here.
