April 24, 2025 Retreating Or Advancing! Two guys leave the large city with heads hung low. As they reflect upon the events of the previous week, they become more discouraged, more disappointed, and more despondent. They are retreating to their home in a small town called Emmaus.

April 20, 2025, Easter Growth And Sacrifice! Happy Easter! As I reflect upon what Easter means to me today, I keep coming back to two words; sacrifice and growth! Of course, the death of Jesus on the cross three days before He is raised from death to life on the Sunday we call Easter involved […]

March 27, 2025 Heaven And Worship! We all want heaven! We want heaven in eternity and we want heaven, at least in part, on earth. When heaven seems particularly remote in our life now, we often cry out, “Life is not fair!” A miscarriage, a nasty divorce, or the loss of job can cause us […]
