Life can be very draining. The most ordinary things can weigh us down. Recently, I tried to drop a pair of slacks off at the cleaners at 9:00 AM. They didn’t open until 10:00 AM. I tried two days later only to find the place closed on that day, due to lack of business. I […]

1. Back in the Saddle Again – that sounds like a Hop-along Cassidy line. I am simply saying that next Sunday, June 6th, I will be teaching again. Pastor Jim and I both like to do series teaching. So, we seek to accommodate each other’s teaching desires. I am really looking forward to sharing God’s Word with […]
“Fulfilling God’s Purpose for our Lives”
I just saw Rick Warren recently promoting what I believe is a new book he has written entitled, “Why in The World Am I Here?” That is a good question – Why does God save us and invite us into an intimate relationship with Himself? Are we just to mark time until He sends for […]

1. I am so grateful for each of you. Your faithful support in prayer, plus your tithes and offerings have been such an encouragement. During the Pandemic, when most of the time we could not have in-person services, I wondered how we would ever meet our costs at the Goodyear location. But you were so faithful […]

“Getting Things into Perspective Through Prayer”
Have you ever noticed that the higher we rise the clearer things below become? That is one of the reasons I have always enjoyed being up on a plane. Things below look so orderly and even peaceful. In Luke 9 we read of Jesus taking Peter, James, and John with Him up on a mountain […]

“Mountaintop Privileges”
In Genesis 8:1 we read “Then God remembered Noah …” I don’t know about you, but I find those words very encouraging. Just as God remembered Noah and his family in the ark, resting upon the floodwaters, He remembers you and me as well. He will never forget us. In verse 5 we read “And […]
