April 18, 2021 1 I must go on boasting. Although there is nothing to be gained, I will go on to visions and revelations from the Lord. 2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the…
Sarcasm – 2 Corinthians 11:16-33
April 8, 2021 Try to imagine sitting in a Sunday morning gathering when one of the leaders of the congregation gets up and announces that he has a letter from the person who started your congregation. Imagine that the letter is from the person who first introduced you to the gospel and then taught you…
Masquerade – 2 Corinthians 11:5-15
April 8, 2021 How do we know someone is who they claim to be? It has never been easy, but it seems to get more difficult every day. A photograph was once almost as good as evidence as an eyewitness, but that is not true anymore. We know that it is possible to create a…

Competition – 2 Corinthians 10:13-18
3/18/2021 We, however, will not boast beyond proper limits, but will confine our boasting to the sphere of service God himself has assigned to us, a sphere that also includes you. 14 We are not going too far in our boasting, as would be the case if we had not come to you, for we…
January 2021 Photo Contest
Our theme for January was NEW and this proved more difficult to capture in images than I thought it would be. We were blessed with a beautiful day at the coast observing the big surf that resulted from a recent storm. It was a beautiful day and we were able to get some fun pictures. …

3/16/2021 How do you decide what to do? We know that we are constantly making decisions. Most of these decisions we do not think about. Unfortunately, I think the pattern of thinking that we apply to the little decision in our life carries over into the big decisions that we make every day. I would…
Look Deeper – 2 Corinthians 10:7-12
3/9/2021 7 You are judging by appearances. If anyone is confident that they belong to Christ, they should consider again that we belong to Christ just as much as they do. 8 So even if I boast somewhat freely about the authority the Lord gave us for building you up rather than tearing you down,…
Weapons -2 Corinthians 10:1-6
2/26/2021 1 By the humility and gentleness of Christ, I appeal to you– I, Paul, who am “timid” when face to face with you, but “bold” toward you when away! 2 I beg you that when I come I may not have to be as bold as I expect to be toward some people who…
