What Good Is a Doctor If…
Thanks for joining us today as we take a brief departure from diving in deeper to Sunday’s message. Today, I’ll be sharing some thoughts the Lord hit me with as I was reading a book on Charles Spurgeon and notes he wrote about the gospel. May the Lord use this to spur you on in this amazing responsibility he’s given us. God bless! The Gospel of Jesus Christ CCLI Streaming License # 20229783
Putting God First
Politics and religion. Talk about two very hot topics that we find classing in many arenas of our culture. The Apostle Paul tells us in Romans 13 that believers are to have a specific gospel-oriented response to this God-ordained institution. Join us this week as we explore more in depth on how believers should view and interact with the government in light of the gospel. We encourage you to view Sunday’s sermon if you haven’t had a chance to do…

Following Jesus While We Wait for His Return
On Sunday, we discussed the importance of following Jesus as we wait for his return. Some time ago, I was greatly encouraged by this interview with a man named Ruslan. Take a few moments to watch and be encouraged and challenged in your own walk with the Lord and the call to follow him. “He Is Coming Again” (Gospel of John & Revelation)
Inspiring Declarations
This Sunday we have our annual thanksgiving service at our local church. In preparation for that I offer these reflections on Nehemiah 2:17-18. While an Old Testament passage, it reminds us of exhortations from the Apostle Paul of the importance of encouraging one another that we might run this race of life with endurance unto the Lord. Thanks for watching! “The Good Hand of the Lord” (Nehemiah 2)
Holocaust Denial Despite the Evidence (GPS #11)
The Holocaust was an absolutely tragic event in our world’s history. Sadly, there have been other times like this when people groups have been the direct target of such atrocities. Yet as Pastor Paul showed on Sunday, none has experienced the extent of continual hatred and torment like the Jews. For 2,400+ years, this has been their history. And today, interestingly enough, there are people who deny the events of the late 1930s and early 1940s. A person from the…
Do You See the Grace of God? (Rom 8)
The great hymn of the faith comes to mind today – “Wonderful grace of Jesus, greater than all my sin…” Are you singing the rest of the verse now? But it’s true. God’s grace is wonderful and Romans 8 highlights (and not just the chapter but the whole book) the grace of God for us. How do you see the grace of God as you read through it? Take a moment today to watch and then reflect on the wonderful…
Looking with God’s Eyes (GPS Vlog #1)
It is hard to see purpose in the midst of the hows & whys of tragedy. Yet God tells that there is. In fact, we see that suffering has purpose and God has used it for our greatest good. Join us as we explore that today from Isaiah 53 and discovere what purpose our suffering may have as we look at it with God’s eyes. Thanks for watching! “Responding to Tragedy”
SITUATION, TRANSFORMATION, TESTIMONY
The Equality Act is up for a vote in the House of Representatives tomorrow. I am grieved to see the disregard by our politicians for the effects this will have on our nation across the board. At the same time, I am also grieved to see the struggles of so many who are trying to find their purpose and identity apart from God. As I was thinking on this today, Paul’s words in Romans were on my mind – not…
WRITINGS & WITNESSES (REVELATION 10-11)
We’re nearing the end of our 5x5x5 reading through the New Testament. We’re in chs. 10-11 today talking about the “little scroll” and the “two witnesses”. One verse in particular stands out to me that is applicable beyond end times events. Take a moment to read the chapters and watch. Revelation 10-11 NET
FOREIGNERS, ALIENS, EXILES (1 PETER 2)
Foreigner. Exile. Alien. We’re not talking about immigration policy or the next ET film. We’re actually talking about believers. Yes, Peter says that we, believers, are foreigners, exiles, and aliens. What does he mean? Take a moment to read the chapter and then watch this video. 1 Peter 2 NET
