This week I will be preaching on Daniel and the Lion's Den. I'm sure you have heard this story before, but come and hear it again fresh. This is a wonderful story of a truly obedient man who chooses God even in the hard circumstances of life.
Read Daniel 6 in preparation.

Dive by Steven Curtis Chapman
This is a powerful song about taking a risk and diving in. Let it give you energy and enthusiasm for what God has planned for you! Listen to it and dance around the room! Let it get you excited for the work of God.
This was part of my sermon from Feb. 13, 2011.

Hello! Happy Valentine's week! This is a good time to remind each one of you that you are loved. God loves you dearly and so do I! I hope that you are well today.
This Sunday will conclude our series "Starting the Year Off Right: How to Make 2011 Our Best Year Yet!" I will be preaching from Matthew 14:22-36. After all we have learned in this series this is the last thing we need to know: making 2011 our best year yet requires trusting God. It requires risk. We have to risk what we know and what we are comfortable with for something better. Jesus can give us that something better.
Matthew 14 lays out a wonderful story of risk and trust. Are you willing to risk? Are you willing to trust God? When we let go we get something even better.
Looking forward to seeing each one of you! I have missed being home.

Good afternoon! How are you enjoying the weather this winter? We're already going into the second month of the year!
This week Pastor Susan will be continuing our series teaching us how to make 2011 our best year yet. The beginning of anything means change and transition. We have to accept change and be willing to see it as good in order to move on. How do you deal with change?
Pastor Susan will be preaching about Joshua (in Exodus, Numbers and Joshua) - who followed Moses as the leader of the Israelites. Come to hear this wonderful story.
I hope that you are all well! We miss you dearly and I will see you next Sunday!

Hello! I hope that you are having a wonderful day. How is your 2011 starting out? As we walk through our series "Starting the Year Off Right: How to Make 2011 Your Best Year Yet!" I hope that you are getting some good ideas of how you can make this your best year yet and how we as a congregation can make 2011 our best year.
Last week I spoke on the Value of Time - using the time God has given you for God's purposes. We sure waste a lot of time don't we? We read Psalm 90:1-12 and talked about the contrast between a God who is without time and those of us who are tethered to it. How do you spend your time? Is it worth it?
This week we are going to discuss a similar topic - Right Priorities. Our priorities determine how we spend our time so they are very closely tied. We have to make sure that we live with right priorities so that we use our time wisely for God. I will preaching from Haggai 1:1-15. Haggai is only two chapters, go ahead and read the whole book!
Remember that if you miss a Sunday you can listen to the sermons here. I'm looking forward to seeing you this week!

Sermon January 9, 2011
This past week we dealt with New Year's resolutions - the Spiritual kind. Many of us don't take the time to think about our spiritual selves when we make resolutions. Have you made a decision about what your 2011 spiritual resolution will be?
Remember as you strive to keep your resolution the 4 steps:
1) Set goals (and make sure they are manageable)
2) Keep your eye on the goal (keep it in front of you)
3) Tell a family member or friend (enlist support!)
4) Expect bumps in the road (and don't let them get you down)
As we continue in our New Years series "How to Start the Year off Right: Making 2011 our Best Year Yet" I will be preaching from Philippians, in preparation you can read Philippians 3:12-4:1. This week we will talk about forgiving the past and looking towards the future.
I'll see you Sunday!
