Psalm 13 The beginning of a new year often carries the promise of fresh starts, but it does not always bring relief. Old burdens frequently follow us into new seasons, and sometimes new ones appear almost immediately. In those moments, it is natural to ask difficult questions: How do we make sense of this? HowContinue reading “How Long, O Lord? Learning to Trust God in the Silence”

Break Up the Fallow Ground
Hosea 10:12 This past November, I took Hosea 10:12 to our quarterly ministers’ conference and preached it as a challenge to our pastors and leaders. By the Lord’s help, we called this verse out as a theme for the Christian Baptist Association. With Christmas and everything surrounding that season, I did not feel it wasContinue reading “Break Up the Fallow Ground”
In Christ Alone: Near Christ or Truly In Christ?
Sermon preached on 1/4/26. 2 Corinthians 5:17–21 “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” As we come into a new year, it would be easy to assume this passage is simply about new beginnings. Many people hear the wordContinue reading “In Christ Alone: Near Christ or Truly In Christ?”
I was glad…
Recently, I stumbled upon an intriguing article penned by an agnostic individual, who, despite their personal beliefs, acknowledged the profound importance of the communal gathering of believers, or as I commonly heard growing up as, “going to church.” The individual was examining the results of a survey from PRRI on Religious Change in America (publishedContinue reading “I was glad…”
Being in Church and a Garage
Have you heard the saying, “Being in Church doesn’t make you a Christian like being in a garage doesn’t make you a car.” I agree with that statement on the surface. Attendance and participation does not equal salvation. Salvation is by faith in Jesus Christ alone received by grace alone and not by our works.Continue reading “Being in Church and a Garage”
Set Apart For Worship (In-Person & Online)
For many, worship looks looks very different then it did almost exactly a year ago. Whether that it what we do in private, with our families, or a congregational setting. Each one is an essential part of our worship and discipleship. As a discipline, worship contains both internal and external components. There is a certainContinue reading “Set Apart For Worship (In-Person & Online)”

Love and Spiritual Gifts
There is a a lot of people trying to do good things. The standard of good though is based on God’s love. In light of that nothing is good outside of Him. When we operate outside of God’s love, mercy, and compassion we are doing anything but good. The foundational motive in everything we doContinue reading “Love and Spiritual Gifts”
The Gift of Tongues and Interpretation
Early in history the different languages came into being (cf. Gen. 11:1-9). This has always been a hinderance to man’s progression and ability to have unity with clarity. The event at acts is a reversal of events at babel. This event at Pentecost has been confused to be linked with the type of languageContinue reading “The Gift of Tongues and Interpretation”
Diversity in the Body of Christ
The bride of Christ and the building of Christ are to ways that the church has been described in the New Testament. The third major description of the church is that of the body of Christ. The bride speaks of the churches relationship to Christ and the building speaks of the churches growth. The bodyContinue reading “Diversity in the Body of Christ”
