Sidetracked

“Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.” - Hebrews 10:23If we want to follow Christ with a divine pursuit, we must avoid getting sidetracked and venturing down roads that are not in line with God's plan for our lives.

“Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you.” - Psalm 73:25As we continue to discuss the things we need to “quench our thirst” for Christ, or “rekindle the fire,” we look at the next thing we must do.

Rekindle The Flame

The daily grind, all of the meetings, all of the responsibilities, going from work, to church, to kid activities, to checking emails, doing assi... Read More

Living Without Water
on April 20th, 2022
“As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God.” - Psalms 42:1Psalm 42 is a lament song presumably written by someone who was formerly able to freely worship God in a gathered congregational setting.

No Remote To Life

“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” - Matthew 6:34Yesterday, we talked about a man who said that life is not like a VHS. For those too young to know what a VHS is, life is not like live TV.

Focus On God’s Way
