Hello, my friends! This Sunday we’ll be looking at Psalm 133 which begins by saying “how good and pleasant it is for brothers and sisters to dwell together in unity!” How true that is! I know that is how I felt last Sunday night seeing so many of you down at the beach. My heart was filled with…
Hello, my friends! As I’m preparing the sermon for this Sunday, I cannot think of a better Psalm for us to be studying. Psalm 131 is one of the shortest in the book, coming in at only 3 verses, but there is incredible power in its brevity. Here’s what it says, O Lord, my heart is not lifted…
“If you can’t fly, then run. If you can’t run, then walk. If you can’t walk, then crawl. But whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward” -Martin Luther King Jr. Tomorrow marks my final day at Little Church, ending 18 years that Nikki and I have been there. It’s been truly an honor to…
Hello, my friends, These are emotionally precarious times. I know you’re feeling it. At least, I know, I am. We used to know where people stood on most issues. You could anticipate where people landed with some level of confidence. But these days, every conversation feels like testing the waters. I often find myself assuming…

Proverbs 24:3-4 There’s a crawl space under our house that looks terrifying to enter. I have yet to venture inside. There’s a small little entryway on the front of our house and when you…
“But you are a Chosen Race, a Royal Priesthood, a Holy Nation, a People for God’s own Possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.” 1 Peter 2:9 I attended a Graham Cooke Conference a few years ago, and Graham posed this question, “If you could…
Hello, my friends! Tonight at Deeper Walk we’re going to be diving a little deeper into our discussion on unshakeable trust in the midst of uncertainty and how it is kept in proper balance by both gratitude and hope. I think you’ll enjoy it! Fair warning that I’ll be pulling out the whiteboard tonight, so grab…
Weekly Prayer Letter, Monday, June 8, 2020 What Won’t Be There In heaven there will be no more cancer, no fear, no rejection, no shame, no loneliness, no depression, no crutches, no wheelchairs, no pacemakers, no chemotherapy, no suicide bombers, no school shootings, no metal detectors, no persecution, no loss. There’ll be no more middle-of-the-night phone calls,…
Hello, my friends! This last Sunday we looked at the beautiful promise in Psalm 125:1 that “those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever.” Which sounds beautiful.
