Just Walk Across the Room Sometimes, the simplest act is leveraged by God for an incredible future.  Someone asked me this weekend, how a guy with German name became pastor in a Dutch church.  I said, “Because a manned named Willis walked across the yard.”  About a century ago, my tavern-owning, beer-brawling grandpa George bought a homestead on the banks …

“What are you seeking?” The first words of Jesus to people in the Gospel of John form a piercing question.  “What are you seeking?”  Allow that question to linger in your soul as you prepare for Sunday. This month our worship focuses on our mission of connecting people with God, others, and the world.  This week’s message from John 1:35-51 …

Good morning friends, We’ll have Sunday’s Coming out shortly, but wanted you to be aware of several prayer points in the church today. Sarah Weber’s mom underwent brain surgery last Sunday in Kansas.  The pathology report revealed that she has stage 4 glioblastoma.  This is a kind of tumor that grows back.  Pray for Sarah and Jared as they navigate this …

Questionable Living Welcome to a new week, friends!  Yesterday, I preached, in part, on Colossians 4:6 – “Conduct yourselves wisely toward outsiders…” Paul implies that people are watching and they will ask questions about our life in Christ, but we have to live in such a way that we are different from the prevailing culture around us. I find that …
