Just Wondering

I have things about the Bible that I wonder sometimes. They're not doctrinally important so the Bible doesn't give answers, so I just wonder for fun. If you're curious, here are a few. In the book of Ruth, was Ruth's and Boaz's relationship as romantic as my 21st...

Glory, Irony, and a Crying Savior

I'm late to write this blog, but this time it feels like more of a good thing than usual because I have some things to share from the sermon tonight that I might not have shared this soon otherwise. We were in Mark 15:15-32. The crucifixion of Christ has some glorious...

In Court and On Trial

A few days ago someone was talking about how God is the judge in the courtroom of life, and we can try to put Him on trial as if we're the judge, but we can't do that because we're not the judge. Then I started thinking about what it looks like when people try to...

Fear, Worry, and Trust

I learned something in church yesterday. Well, I learn every time I go to church, but sometimes there's a particular thing that sticks out that I want to share. One learns a lot in church. You should go regularly. But let's get back to the point. A lot of us are...

Children’s Version – God’s Greatest Gift

We combined the little kids' classes last night and we've started lessons on Christmas. When the kids were asked what they thought of when they heard "Christmas," they talked about Santa Claus and presents. So the teacher explained that while these things are not bad,...
