Luke 10:21-24
Introduction:
What sparks your joy? Marie Kondo rose to global fame asking that question. As a professional organizer, Kondo decluttered homes by asking a simple question: “Does this spark joy?”

After Church
“What happens when a Christian dies? Do we instantly go to heaven? Do we fall just fall asleep until the resurrection at Christ’s return?”
One of the fun parts of being a pastor is the random questions you get after service, in the hallway, or during the week through text messages or social media. I recently had the thought, what if instead of just responding to the individual, I …
Alongside my weekly preaching duties, I am entering my fourth year of teaching through books of the Bible in a 2-hour community women’s Bible study hosted at my church. This Fall I will begin teaching through the Old Testament book of Daniel.
With each new class, I evaluate and refine my teaching outlines and methodology. I tighten the structure, clarify the outline, and hopefully improve as a teacher. In years past, I have simply worked …
In a world obsessed with self-discovery, personal fulfillment, and “living your truth,” relationships are paying the price. Marriages feel fragile, intimacy is commodified, children are often viewed as optional accessories, and loneliness is epidemic. We’ve never had more tools to express ourselves, yet fewer deep, lasting connections. Why? Because expressive individualism—the cultural script that says your inner self is the ultimate authority—undermines the very commitments that make love possible.
That’s why I’m excited to share …

My father, who for 26 years pastored the church I was serving, resigned, and I was asked by church leadership to serve as pastor in the interim. For the first time in my life, I was responsible to prepare the gathered worship services of the church. At that time, I had never read a book on liturgics and had …
God’s Immutability & Infinity________________________
Letter from the Pastor March 3, 2026
SECOND LONDON CONFESSION, 2:1b
The Confession says in chapter 2:1b
The Lord our God… is immutable, immense, eternal, incomprehensible, almighty, every way infinite, most holy, most wise, most free, most absolute; working all things according to the counsel of His own immutable and most righteous will, for His own glory; most loving, gracious, merciful, long-suffering, abundant in goodness and truth, …
The following exhortation was given by Randy Warner in our gathered worship on 3/1/2026
Confession is one of the most freeing gifts God has given His people, yet it’s often one of the hardest to embrace. We hesitate because confession feels vulnerable. It requires honesty about our failures, our temptations, and the places where we fall short. But Scripture reminds us that confession is not about shame – it is about restoration. It is about …
God’s Self Existence & Spirituality________________________
Letter from the Pastor February, 26th 2026
INTRODUCTION
The study of God, his nature and work, is typically referred to as “theology proper.” “Theos” refers to God and “logos” refers to reason and thought. So, putting the two together, theology proper concerns itself with the doctrine of God himself. And in the London Confession of Faith, chapter one of paragraph two begins by describing …
