One of the reasons I am totally sold on Jesus is the way He is the fulfillment of Old Testament Prophesy. Keep in mind that a prophet had to be one hundred percent accurate in his predictions. That being the case, consider the fact that there are at least 200 specific prophesies in the Old […]

“Giving Thanks”
In just a few days many people in our nation will observe Thanksgiving. The first Thanksgiving happened in the early autumn of 1621. Only 53 pilgrims, about half their number, survived their first harsh winter in America. They decided to celebrate and give thanks to God for their successful harvest and their survival. Chief Massasoit […]
“Lessons From Jeremiah”
The book of Jeremiah is the longest Prophetic Book in the Old Testament. Also, Jeremiah’s life is more fully described than any of the other fifteen writing prophets. Jeremiah had a word from the Lord for the people of Judah during the last half of the 7th century and the first quarter of the 6th […]
“A Church is Born”
In the Old Testament God chose a small nation called Israel to reveal and declare His love and concern to all the other nations of the world. Over time, they failed Him again and again. They came under God’s judgment and for a time, they were scattered all over the world. They ceased to be […]
A Season of Harvest and Thanksgiving
“Thanksgiving” is defined as the act of giving; a celebration of divine goodness; grateful and ready to acknowledge that. Although there are several different ways to look at “seasons” (e.g., calendar seasons, seasons of life, etc.).

The Mosaic Law actually required those with this terrible disease to continually cry out “unclean, unclean” to keep anyone in close proximity from coming down with the dreaded disease. Leviticus 13:45 – “Now the leper on whom the sore […]
“God’s Blueprint for Discipleship”
In Matthew 28:18-20, we read of the disciples going to Galilee to meet with the resurrected Christ. We read beginning with verse 18 — “Then Jesus came near and said to them, ‘All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in […]
“The Need for Confession”
Have you ever said or done something you knew was wrong and you felt just miserable? But you finally acknowledged your ‘sin’ and your whole being was flooded with peace and joy? I don’t know about you, but when I have something on my heart and mind that I know is not right, I find […]
“Are You Satisfied?”
…With your prayer life? If you could sit down and talk to any one person in the world, who would it be? What are the chances that you could have an audience with the person you have in mind? And yet, we can call on and share with the Creator of heaven and earth, just […]
“Faith and God’s Response”
I recently shared this meditation with our church staff and I felt I wanted to share it with you – my church family. Basically, I want you to think with me, about the relationship between our faith and God’s response. I have a number of ‘Life verses’ that the Holy Spirit has engraved on my […]
