What Would You Do to Save Someone?

An old man lived on a hill that overlooked the ocean. At the bottom of the hill was a public campground where people come to pitch their tents, hike along the beach, and play in the surf. One day the old man was looking out at the ocean from his window when he noticed a huge tidal wave bearing down on the campground. He knew that the people who occupied the campground below were doomed. He had no phone or any other way to warn them from his hillside perch. And he knew that if he attempted to run down to the campground, by the time he got there, he would be wiped out, too.



Come Join Us for Easter

Come Join Us on Easter

 

There are two images that come to mind when I think of Easter. You can’t have one without the other. The first image would be that of the Cross. There’s nothing like it. It’s a stark image that made the first believers shudder so much that it does not appear in Christian art for five centuries after Jesus died!


Happy New Year & Classes Starting Back

New Year with Classes Starting Back

 

Happy new year to our church!  As this new year begins, let us all give thanks for our part in the ministry of Jesus Christ. It is his church, his mission, and his salvation. What is done here is because God found us, imperfect as we are, and brought us together so that his word could continue to become flesh and dwell among us.

A Holy Bucket

I want you to imagine with me for a moment that I have a bucket with four holes in the bottom of it.  Fill it with water and what happens.  Of course, all the water will run out of the bucket (so you’ll need to have another container to catch the water).  After the water runs out, try it again.  They try it a third time.  What happens each time?  The water runs out, right?  So why fill the bucket that won’t hold water?

Let’s Have Some Fun

One Halloween night, a neighborhood practical joker decided to frighten the young trick-or-treaters who rang his doorbell.  He put on a floor-length black cape, a black hat fitted with devil’s horns, and a hideous mask that seemed to combine the most gruesome features of Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Wolf Man.  Then he waited.

 

Finally, his doorbell rang.  He turned off all the lights and shining a flashlight on his mask, he opened the door and pierced the night air with an eerie scream
