Spiritual Birth Story

Last week we talked about the second birth that God works through faith in Jesus Christ. But today I want to ask a question how can we be certain that that birth has actually happened?

Evidence for Jesus?

"Frankly you don't even have any evidence for Jesus." How would you respond to this? Pastor David Thompson provides reliable evidence that Jesus existed and offers a better question to ponder.

Feeling Defeated?

Sometimes when people talk about the church and the state of Christianity in our world today, they can seem kind of defeated.

You’re Not Good Enough

Does God accept us just the way that we are? Whenever I get asked that question, I like to turn to John chapter three when Jesus has a conversation with Nicodemus.

Why Do Good?

Why should we do good? There's a lot of reasons to do good, but one of the fundamental reasons is that we were created in the image of God.

“Snake” Driftwood

I have this piece of driftwood that looks like a snake. And I like it because it reminds me of two different events in the Bible.

You are the Treasure

This past year someone has been painting rocks gold and leaving them in our playground. This actually reminds me of something Jesus talked about.

Cause and Effect

My children are learning cause and effect. They don’t realize their actions cause problems. Similarly, we often downplay our sins, distancing ourselves from their severity. It is by recognizing our sins that we see the depth of God’s grace.
