Dive In: from the High Dive

We went to Flatland with my mother and sis­ter Sunday. It was fun talk­ing about the ser­mon dur­ing lunch. Although my mother has heard Pastor Bart preach, my sis­ter hadn’t. To say the least, the ser­mon elicited some inter­est­ing dis­cus­sion. Yes, that is Pastor Bart stand­ing on the high dive that was on the plat­form

Dive In: Holding Your Breath

Well, I missed a cou­ple Sundays for this series. Good stuff that I have missed. Fortunately, Pastor Jeff did a good job at sum­ma­riz­ing what I missed. To sum up so far, this series is all about get­ting involved in some sort of min­istry for Christ. It is a call to us to stop sit­ting

Dive In: Get on the Board

We are start­ing a new series at Flatland called Dive In. We will be read­ing through the book of Luke, fol­low­ing Jesus as he teaches his fol­low­ers to be more than just a fol­lower, to become a dis­ci­ple, then on to car­ry­ing out His min­istry to oth­ers. It is a call to all of us.

Mother’s Day

We vis­ited my mother’s new/old church on mother’s day. She recently moved back to the town she grew up in and of course went to the same church she went to as a child. I have a great mother and am so thank­ful for her. It was great to be with her on Mother’s Day.

God’s Assistance: Gideon

Yesterday’s ser­mon has me still pon­der­ing, con­tem­plat­ing, and wait­ing for God to speak clearly to me. So I really don’t have much to say today. I will post my ser­mon notes as I took them on my iPhone (using the WordPress App which is becom­ing a well rounded blogging tool).

God’s Assistance: Lazurus

We are start­ing a new series called God’s Assistance at Flatland. Today’s ser­mon was on the res­ur­rec­tion of Lazurus as seen in John 11 [show]John 11 Now a cer­tain man was ill, Lazarus of Bethany, the vil­lage of Mary and her sis­ter Martha. [2]It was Mary who anointed the Lord with oint­ment and wiped his

Easter Is for Black Sheep

Black sheep are often dis­par­aged, shunned, and avoided. Yet God did just the oppo­site. He loved us so much, and yes, we all are black sheep in God’s fam­ily, that He sent His Son to die in our place and He was raised from the dead as a guar­an­tee of our eter­nal sal­va­tion. This is the mes­sage

Financial Peace: God Has a Plan

It sounds so easy. The ser­mon speaks vol­umes to me. I should be able to sleep well now… right? Well, no. And I feel lousy that I can’t, or maybe its sleepy. What am I talk­ing about? Financial peace. God has a plan. When I do my best in man­ag­ing the finances God has pro­vided
