We all experience times in the valley where life hurts and the answers to our pain don't come easy, if they come at all.  Does time in the valley mean I've made a mistake?  Valley times generate questions about God: "If God is loving then why do people suffer?"  Listen today to find encouragement for your time in the valley.

This sermon reminds us that ministry is a partnership between pastors and the people they lead.  We need each other for the ministry of the local church to be truly effective.  The Mission of Christ is accomplished as the Church works together to bring the love & grace of Jesus to hurting people.  Thanks for listening, God bless!

This sermon explores how the human emotion of grief can be a gift that prepares us to move into a new leg in life's journey.  Transition and loss are never easy but if we put our hope in God through those times we learn that our grief gives way to God's joy and blessing.  Thanks for listening.

Today we journey with Abram and Sarai from their home in Haran to the land of Canaan.  Sometimes God has to uproot us in order for his plan and purpose for our lives to be realized.  Abram's obedience and trust opened the door for God to bless him.  Thanks for listening and God bless!

This week we explored the wonder, mystery, and promise of the Empty Tomb.  It is the linchpin of Christian theology and it is what our faith rests upon.  Without the empty tomb, Jesus would just be a dead rabbi.  The Empty Tomb affirms the reality that he is the Messiah of God.  Thanks for listening and God bless!

This week we journey with Christ into Jerusalem.  We rehearse these stories and experiences every year so we can keep our eyes focused on Jesus instead of on the things of this life.  As Jesus descended the Mt. of Olives and into the city of Jerusalem he was the only one in the crowd who knew why he was going into the city-to die.  As you listen may you experience the impact of this story with fresh insight and be open to what God wants to say to you.

This week Jesus' prayer turns toward those who will believe in Him as a result of the disciples' ministry.  We are those believers and this prayer is wonderfully revealing of Christ's true heart for his followers.  Thanks for listening and be blessed!

Today's message is part two in a series on the prayer of Jesus in John 17.  Today we look at Jesus' prayer for his disciples.  This prayer is the heart-felt expression of Jesus for the disciples he loves.  It was prayed for his initial disciples but its message applies to us as well.  Christ's ministry of intercession for the church continues even now.  Thanks for listening & God bless.
