Letter From the Pastor – December 27, 2020

What is God’s intention for families?  What part does God mean families to play in human life?  Only when we understand what God has revealed about the family can we hope to find solutions to the problems families face today. The clearest statement of God’s plan for our family is the one that comes right at the beginning of the Bible in the account of the creation of man.  We often miss the point of this account.  Living as we do in a highly individualistic society; we are used to thinking of humanity as a mass of individuals.  Consequently, we […]

Pastor’s Christmas Message – December 25, 2020

There is a children’s story about a shopkeeper who dreamed one night that Jesus would visit him the next day.  The dream was so real that the shopkeeper believed it was really going to happen.  He got up the next morning fully expecting Jesus to visit him that day in his shop. When he arrived at work, the first item of business was to put the place in order, to clean up, pick up, fix up.  Everything had to be spic and span for the Lord’s visit.  So, he put his salesclerk to work with a broom and a dust […]

Letter From the Pastor – December 6, 2020

One of life’s most wonderful blessings is the gift of sleep.  If you doubt that, talk to some person who suffers from chronic insomnia.  They dread going to bed for fear of  being unable to sleep.  They toss and turn throughout the night.  They get up the next morning, exhausted and frustrated by their inability to sleep. Too much sleep is almost as detrimental as too little.  The person who constantly wants to sleep is either physically sick or emotionally depressed, or is just plain bored with life.  The story of Rip Van Winkle is an American legend about a […]
