For in this tent we groan, longing to put on our heavenly dwelling. ~2 Corinthians 5.2

  • Unexpected, Transformative Joy

    Our church preached through a series based on David Mathis’ Advent devotional, The Christmas We Didn’t Expect. Right before Christmas, I preached on Matthew 13:36-52, focusing mainly on the coupled parables of the Hidden Treasure and the Pearl of Great Value. From these, as Mathis does in his book, I pointed out the unexpected joy we can have in Christ if we understand the truth and reality of the judgment to come. 

    I won’t go into all the details, but feel free to listen to the sermon here.

  • December Respite

    Hello everyone,

    I will be taking a break from posting on my blog for the month of December. I hope to return in the New Year, but wish you all a wonderful Advent season.

  • Is There Still Magic to the Holidays? 

    Thanksgiving is here…well, at least here in the US. The holiday season pretty much begins in October as a lot of people gear up for Halloween and dressing up while starting to wear sweaters and enjoying crisper air after a long summer season. We roll through the month picking out pumpkins and celebrating even little days like “Red Cup” day and finding joy in warm mugs in our hands. 

    October passes and we find ourselves heading toward Thanksgiving which is usually a sweet time of gathering with family, thinking about how you’ll cook the turkey (or decide to do something altogether different like our family now does), and do your last mow of the yard ending in a celebratory dance. (Or is that just me?)
