Something’s Missing
“Searched all over couldn’t find nobody. I looked high and low, still couldn’t find nobody. Nobody greater than You.” Life is indeed a journey.

However, we find that we’re still empty, feeling a hollow void that is … Continue reading Something’s Missing

Sermon: Missing the Point
Remain humble. “Do things for the work of the Lord and in the name of the Lord. Give praise to God for everything happening in your life. Your ego can be a prison to you. It’s not about you, it’s about the Lord and if you get to thinking it’s all about you, then you are missing the point!” Pastor Crayton Mark 9:33-37 Continue reading Sermon: Missing the Point
Our Deepest Fear
“We ask ourselves; Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine.” Marianne Williamson Continue reading Our Deepest Fear
The Serenity Prayer
God grant me the serenity To accept the things I cannot change; Courage to change the things I can; And wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful world As it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make … Continue reading The Serenity Prayer

“Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results” (James 5:16). It’s easy to give God praise when all is great in our lives, but can we praise Him when all hell breaks loose? I’m learning that I need God’s strength the most … Continue reading Phone Home

Sunshine and Rain
The sun will not always be shining in our lives. It storms and rains from time to time. It is through those times when life’s most meaningful and tender lessons are taught to us. It is in our storms where we strengthen and enlarge our faith. We are shown the bigger picture. We can then understand that it is not about us. Selfishness becomes selflessness. … Continue reading Sunshine and Rain
