PASTOR’S MESSAGE Hi Friends, As you can imagine the young people of Bethlehem were not lining up to go to college to study to be shepherds. Shepherding was one of the least glamorous jobs of all. The shepherds were on call 24/7. They needed to provide food and water for the sheep, protect the sheep, and take care of any need that might arise. The shepherds were around the sheep so much that they smelled like sheep. It was not…

PASTOR’S MESSAGE Hi Friends, When I was a young child, I always had a list of things I wanted: the Sega Genesis game system with the NHL 94 video game, a new bike, a boom box, or the latest MC Hammer cassette. But these days my list looks a lot different. I no longer have items on that list because I am at a point in my life that I am blessed to be able to order it on Amazon…

PASTOR’S MESSAGE Hi Friends, Let’s take a stroll down memory lane. What was on your Christmas list when you were in elementary school? High school? What does your Christmas list look like this year? My guess is that as your lists between grade school and high school were different, so your list this year is considerably different than it was in back then. But even though the lists are different, there is a connection – hope! Hope in Jesus is…

PASTOR’S MESSAGE Hi Friends, I’ve never met someone proud of their prayer life. Even life-long, strong Christians struggle with prayer. Why is that? For one, we sometimes need help figuring out what to pray for. Even Jesus’ disciples asked him to teach them how to pray (See Luke 11:1-4). Another reason is we don’t believe our prayers will matter. We might think, “God is all-knowing, all-powerful, and all-loving. He will do what is best anyways. So why should I pray?” Or maybe…

MESSAGE OF ENCOURAGEMENT Hi Friends, Has your Christmas countdown began? Maybe you don’t start your Advent calendars until December 1, but my guess is that you’ve got the number of days – and all of the things you have to get done in those days – weighing heavily on your minds. But when we consider why we celebrate Christmas, we can all find joy and hope. Jeremiah tells us this promise of God: ‘The days are coming,’ declares the Lord,…

PASTOR’S MESSAGE Hi Friends, Some of have left the Christian Church because they heard that Christianity hinders scientific progress. But Scripture shows that Jesus loved the natural world and taught us to investigate it so that we might know the Creator even better. When we look at Jesus’ words, we will be encouraged to study science, and discover how the world works. Did you know that many leading scientists of today are Christians? Francis S. Collins, a physician and the…

PASTOR’S MESSAGE Hi Friends, Road signs don’t seem that important… until they are. When Jacky and I were on our intern year, we lived in Vassar, Michigan. After the Christmas Day service, we hopped in our car and began our trip back to Milwaukee to spend the holiday with her family. It was an uneventful trip, except that I missed the sign for I-94 West. I found I-94 but not I-94 West. We were going east instead of west. So…
