It’s been a few weeks since I’ve posted a sermon insights because I’ve had a ton of other stuff on my plate. As we come up on Christmas this week, though, I wanted to make sure that I got at least one post in so that everyone knew what was coming up this week. So […]

Well, another Sunday is in the books, leaving only one more in 2009! How scary is that! Here are some thoughts on yesterday’s services. First, I need to thank Pat and Marie K for coming by to clean the church this past week. Also, thanks go to Christy K for helping in the nursery during […]

Man, this is a late post! Sorry about that, but here are some thoughts on Sunday’s services! First off, I want to thank Jerry A for helping with the snow removal at the church. After 16 inches of snow fell last week, the help was appreciated! I also appreciated Donna A for cleaning the church […]

What an eventful weekend it has been! As many heard, Sheri K’s mother passed away last week, and the funeral was Saturday afternoon. I wanted to take a moment, before getting into a couple of thoughts about our Sunday activities, to thank those from the church who took the time to support Sheri and family […]

What an awesome Sunday! After a great week highlighted by time spent with family and plenty of turkey, it was so invigorating to be back in the house of God to worship with our church family! And what a wonderful time of worship it was! Here are some thoughts on the service as a whole. […]

What a great Sunday! True, we had some hiccups (e.g., yet another glitch with the slideshow), but overall, I thought the entire day went exceptionally well. Here are some highlights from my book. Adoration led the worship service with a great set. They were stupendous! And more importantly, slideshow glitches aside, I was drawn into […]

Application Notes Application I find Acts 17 both challenging and extremely encouraging. On the one hand, we see how Paul adapted his presentation of the same gospel message to be culturally relevant for each of three different audiences in Thessalonica, Berea, and Athens. And on the other, we see that even though he did adapt […]

As a boy, I was hooked on the intriguing articles of Popular Science and the cool toys and concepts displayed among its pages. While in college, though, I didn’t have time to read it nearly as much, and when we came to Des Moines, we quite simply didn’t have the resources to spare for the […]

I had a great time in worship yesterday. From where I was sitting, it seemed as though the Spirit was at work from the beginning of the service to the very end. Let me tell you why. First of all, I thought that Pastor Sharon did a great job with the announcements. Many people probably […]
