My first pastor’s desk of 2026.   “Begin with God” - Genesis 1:1    

There is always a first for everything. There is always a beginning and an end. Ecclesiastes reminds us there is, “a time to be born and a time to die” (3: 2).   It’s not always how you start but how you finish.   I like good endings, I would...

“Gone with the Wind…and the Current”   Read Hebrews 2:1

This I my post Christmas pastor’s desk prior to Christmas, and my last post of 2025.   Christmas is a reminder of hope.   Hope in the chaos. Hope in the mess. Hope in the trials of this wonderful gift of life.   Hope in the anxious and worrisome times.   Hope in the...

Portrait of Jesus Christ - His ‘Love for YOU!’   John 3:16

I love these lyrics written by Kurt Kaiser. I learnt these as a youth in church…

“Oh, how He loves you and me.

Oh, how He loves you and me.

He gave His life, what more could He give;

Oh, how He loves you.

Oh, how He loves me.

Oh, how He loves you and me!”  

We write songs about...

Portrait of Jesus Christ - His ‘Humanity’ & ‘Deity’   Philippians 2:1-11

Jesus is the subject.   “Jesus is the reason for the Season.”   Jesus gives us hope for today, tomorrow and beyond the grave.   The bible says, “For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth…all things were created through...

Portraits of Jesus Christ - His ‘Servanthood’     Philippians 2:1-11

Servanthood - “the act of serving others with humility and selflessness.”

What comes to mind when you think of servanthood?   Those that serve others?   Maybe a waiter waitress; those in the medical field; emergency responders; police officers; military;...

Portraits of Jesus Christ - His ‘ Kingship’     Philippians 2:5-11

When you and I think of a portrait we think in terms of a picture.   We love pictures.   Pictures of loved ones, family and friends (selfies). Pictures of places and events. Pictures capture great moments in time for us to look back and remember.   Becky...

“This is the Day!”   Read Psalm 118:24

This is the day the LORD has made, I will rejoice and “Be” glad in it!   I am “Thankful” that God is Sovereign.   We serve a God that neither slumbers nor sleeps - He knows our lying down, our rising up and all in between - He is in control!   God has said in His word, “While the earth...

“Fear Meets Faith”   Read 1 Samuel 17

“Thank You” to all our Veterans!   Thank you for keeping us safe and free. We realize our freedoms come at a great cost.   We also realize we need a strong military because we have enemies that want to do us harm, not only us but also other countries of the world.   I think we would all...
