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…
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…
By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures. 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…
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…
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. But while I still look at this verse with hopefulness, I cannot help but question this promise of stability. Because right now,…
Hello, my friends! I have been spending the last week or so going through countless articles and webinars on how to effectively reopen our churches. It has been quite an educational experience, to say the least! I am so thankful to so many who have provided excellent counsel and perspective. I just want you all to know that…
Hello, my friends! I’ve had a few questions sent to me asking if we are reopening this Sunday, given the President’s announcement that churches are to be considered essential. First, let me just say that I agree with him, that the work and prayers of the church are God’s essential, redemptive plan to bring the kingdom…
Hello, my friends! Let me begin by reiterating just how much I miss you all! I know this time of quarantine has been an emotional rollercoaster for all of us, and I often find myself getting caught up in anxiety or worry, seemingly out of nowhere. My coping mechanism has always been some form of calculating or…
Hello, my friends! Every time I tell someone that I have a son that’s a drummer, they respond with a sort of lighthearted apology…“I’m so sorry for you.” What they mean is, “your home must be so noisy.” And they’re right. We initially bought an electric drum kit for Gabe, but it just didn’t have the “feel.” Drums require…
