Oct. 19, 2025 Do you ever compare yourself to others and think, I can’t do some things as well as other people. Maybe you say, “I’m not good at math.” Or “I can’t draw.” or “I can’t eat just one piece of candy.” Or “I’m not good at fixing things.” We can get ourselves downContinue reading “Get your Spirit Back”

I want to trust you, God, but I don’t
Oct. 12, 2025 We’re in a sermon series, and today it’s on a book by Lysa Terkeurst, I want to trust you, but I don’t. I like to think I trust God. Do you trust God? I say I do, but sometimes I don’t!

Building a Legacy
September 14, 2025 One Sunday morning an old cowboy entered a church just before services were to begin. Although he and his clothes were spotlessly clean, he wore jeans, a denim shirt and boots that were very worn and ragged. In his hand he carried a worn-out old hat and an equally worn-out Bible. TheContinue reading “Building a Legacy”
Building a Bethany Heart
Sept. 7, 2025 Today we’re talking about building a Bethany heart, a heart that wants to serve God. What’s a Bethany heart?

Loved! Building Faith in God’s Purpose for You
August 31, 2025 I was a pretty well-behaved kid, at least I think so. But sometimes I got in trouble. Sometimes I didn’t do my chores. Sometimes I didn’t clean out the cat litter: and that was my job, because the cat was mine. Sometimes I got in yelling matches with my brothers. I wasContinue reading “Loved! Building Faith in God’s Purpose for You”

Misused Verses: The Love of Money is the Root of All Evil
August 10, 2025 Money is an emotional issue! For example, when you can’t afford something you want, sometimes you feel bad. Or I remember getting some weird advice from a friend of our family. She was pretty well off. My mom would take me along to visit her, and she would often serve us tapiocaContinue reading “Misused Verses: The Love of Money is the Root of All Evil”
Misused Verses: I Know the Plans I Have in Store for You!
August 3, 2025 We’re in a message series about some misused verses in the Bible! Some verses we love, but we can take them to mean something they do not! I think that’s good, they mean something deeper. They tell us more about God and his love than we think. Today we’re talking about theContinue reading “Misused Verses: I Know the Plans I Have in Store for You!”
Misused Verses: Judge Not, or You will be Judged
July 27, 2025 We’re in our message series on the most misused verses in the Bible. Last week we learned that when Jesus said, “I will do whatever you ask in my name” he wasn’t promising to grant our every wish. Instead, he encouraged his disciples that after he returns to heaven, they will doContinue reading “Misused Verses: Judge Not, or You will be Judged”
