Four Resources to Help Us Stay on Track
As we walk with Christ, we should anticipate that it will take effort to stay on the right path – a path that is good for us and glorifies God.

In today’s blog, you’ll read about (1) an encouragement toward humble living and (2) a note about a staff transition.
In Timothy Keller’s little book, The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness, he says, “…the essence of gospel-humility is not thinking more of myself or thinking less of myself, it is thinking of myself less” (p. 32).
In other words, being an effective follower of Christ is not founded upon raising or reducing your self-esteem but considering others at the expense...

As I reflect on our celebration of the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ this past weekend, my heart is filled with great gratitude – and I hope yours is too!

Few moments are freighted with as much possibility and risk as the moment of a personal invitation. Think about it.
A guy decides to personally invite the girl he recently met to get a cup of coffee or to dinner and a movie. Risky? You bet. She may say, “no thanks.” Filled with possibility? Of course. It may mark the beginning of a relationship that lasts a lifetime.
A leader personally invites you to accept a key position on the new team. Risky? Certainly. There is no guarantee...

As war has engulfed Ukraine and millions of people are being displaced, many are asking: what can I do to help?
I suggest two things: we can give, and we can pray.

I’m praying the Father’s favor for you and your family on this Thanksgiving Day!
It’s a great day to say out loud or to write down on paper the blessings for which we are thankful. It’s good for us and it honors God when we acknowledge that every good gift we have comes from the hand of our Heavenly Father (cf. James 1:17).
As Beverly and I count our blessings, we are especially thankful for you and your partnership in the gospel (cf. Philippians 1:3-5).
The fellowship we...

We will celebrate with Jay and Evelyn Anne Turner this Sunday as Jay retires as our Traditional Worship Arts Pastor after ten years of faithful and fruitful service on our team.

Are You Praying for Afghanistan?
As the collapse of Afghanistan has unfolded, our hearts have been shocked and grieved by the scenes at the Kabul airport as thousands are seeking to flee the danger that is to come.
