This week we are presented with that age old struggle between our humanity and the ability to follow through. Our wants and needs do not always correlate with Gods wants and needs for us and for our service. How then do we respond? With faith like obedience or with childlike tantrums? Or are we somewhere […]

We are challenged daily by where we see God at work in the world. We speak so much in our lives but I wonder, how much do we speak about God on a daily basis? What words do we use to convey our faith or our beliefs? How do we explain to others who God […]

Even from what appears to be little, dormant, or dead, God promises a harvest. At the Lord’s table we are fed with […]
