Isaiah’s Vision: A Glimpse into the Trinity - May 26, 2024

 This Sunday (May 26, 2024), we celebrate Trinity Sunday, a day set aside to reflect on the mystery and majesty of our Triune God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. As we gather to worship, we will be exploring the profound vision of Isaiah as recorded in Isaiah 6:1-8. In this powerful passage, the prophet encounters the holiness and grandeur of God, leading him to a deep awareness of his own sinfulness and the transformative power of God's grace. Through this text, we will see how Isaiah's vision reveals the nature of the Trinity and how each person of the Godhead plays a crucial role in our lives.

We will begin by contemplating the awe-inspiring grandeur of God the Father, the Creator who sits enthroned above all. We will then turn our attention to the redemptive work of Jesus Christ, the Son, whose sacrifice cleanses us from our sins and reconciles us to the Father. Finally, we will explore the sustaining presence of the Holy Spirit, who empowers us to hear God's call and respond with obedience. 

As you prepare for Sunday's Trinity Sunday service, I encourage you to read and reflect on Isaiah 6:1-8. Allow the words of this powerful vision to sink into your hearts and minds and come ready to worship our holy and Triune God with reverence and joy. As you study this passage, consider these questions: 

  • How does the revelation of God's holiness in Isaiah's vision impact your understanding of your own sinfulness and need for grace? 
  • In what ways have you experienced the cleansing power of Jesus' redemptive work in your own life? 
  • How can you open your heart to hear and respond to the call of God through the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit?

I look forward to seeing you all Sunday!

Where Is God in the Texas Flooding? July 6, 2025

This afternoon, I received a phone call from a dear church member about the tragic flooding in Texas. We discussed the question that weighs heavy on many hearts: how could something like this happen in a Christian state, at a Christian camp, with precious children as victims? I must admit, I have wrestled with this myself over the last couple of days, spending the afternoon in prayer and tears, seeking comfort in God's word. As you may have heard, devastating flash floods struck central Texas on July 4th. At least 69 people have lost their lives, including many children, and 11 children from Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp, remain missing. Rescue teams continue their urgent search as families wait in unimaginable anguish. You too may ask why God would allow this to happen. This question has echoed through the centuries from the faithful throughout Scripture. Job asked it. The psalmists cried it out. Even Jesus Himself, in His darkest moment on the cross, cried, "My Go...

Depression - March 30, 2025

This Sunday, we continue our Lenten journey with a heavy but deeply meaningful passage: Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:36–46). Our message, “Depression,” explores how even Jesus experienced overwhelming sorrow and spiritual anguish. Far from being a sign of weakness or lack of faith, Jesus' grief shows us that emotional and spiritual darkness can be holy ground. He prayed honestly, persistently, and with trust, even when answers didn't come quickly. This sermon will not minimize the reality of clinical depression but will invite us to see how our faith walks beside our pain, never in denial of it. As you reflect this week, consider:  Where in your life have you experienced Gethsemane moments?  How might you allow yourself or someone you love to rest in the truth that even Jesus grieved deeply, and yet remained connected to God? _________________________________________________________________________________ As we continue our Lenten Journey examining the five ...

Why Did Jesus Have to Go? - May 12, 2024

This Sunday, we'll dive into the importance of Jesus' ascension during our worship service. Our scripture, Ephesians 1:15-23 , gives us a strong picture of what it means for Christ to be lifted up and the hope and power we have in him. In Ephesians, Paul prays for the church to understand God's power at work in believers. This power raised Christ from the dead and put him in charge in heaven, above all other powers. As we study this scripture, we'll see how Christ's ascension gives us, his church, the strength to keep doing his work on earth as his body. Before Sunday, please read Ephesians 1:15-23 and consider these questions:  1. How does Christ's position in heaven change how you see yourself and your purpose in the church?  2. Where in your life do you need to trust more in the wisdom, hope, and power that Jesus gives you?  I’ll see you Sunday!
