ADVOCATE
1 Timothy 2:5-6 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time. 1 Timothy 2:5-6 When two sides cannot come to an agreement face to face, it is time for the mediator to be brought in. The mediator will act as a bridge, perhaps as a go between for the two parties, or perhaps as a third-party perspective to find some means by which both sides can c

Thanksgiving 2025 Message
In order to understand the intended purpose of the Thanksgiving Day holiday, it’s important to look at how it began. The first Thanksgiving in America was celebrated in November 1621. A year before that, a ship called the Mayflower left England carrying 102 passengers and about 30 crew members and headed for America. They were in search of making a living on their own and being able to practice their religion freely. In other words, they wanted to pray, serve, and live out th

Spiritually Fed
Hebrews 5:13-14 “Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.” Hebrews 5:13-14 NIV These verses in a sense, are a rebuke to those who should be mature in their faith, mature in their understanding of God’s Word, but who still drink milk like an infant in faith. I read this, and

Soul Hope
Hebrews 6:19-20 “We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.” Hebrews 6:19-20 NIV The author of Hebrews here refers to an anchor for our soul, one that is firm and secure, it will not drag even during the most violent storms of life. This anchor is hope. Not a wishful hope

Guarded by Holy Spirit
2 Timothy 1:14 “Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you—guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.” 2 Timothy 1:14 NIV We live in a world of keys, locks, alarms, and security systems. So, Paul's words shouldn't come as a surprise to us. We protect the things that are most valuable to us. What is more precious to us than the truth of God's saving grace in the Gospel. Thankfully, God has pre-wired all of us with a security system t

Uncovered, Laid Bare By God’s Word
Hebrews 4:12-13 “For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.” Hebrews 4:12-13 NIV God's Word is living power. The Word of God is living, because He is the living God W

A Ransom For Mankind
1 Timothy 2:5-6 “For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time.” 1 Timothy 2:5-6 NIV We do not need to have another human, no matter how mighty, pious, or special, to intercede for us before God. As His children, we can go freely, knowing that God Himself has provided the perfect mediator between Himself and us. That mediator, alone, i

Remember, Consider, Ask
Deuteronomy 32: “Remember the days of old, Consider the years of many generations. Ask your father, and he will show you; Your elders, and they will tell you:” Deuteronomy 32:7 NKJV Our world and our country is reeling from many social problems. One of the biggest is lack of respect by the younger generation to their elders. The main reason that this problem exists, I believe, is that parents are either too lazy, scared, or unprincipled to discipline their children as t

Encourage & Build Each Other Up
1 Thessalonians 5:8-11 “But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet. For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him. Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.” 1 Thessalonians 5:8-11 NIV The "Good New

Consecrated By God, All Is Good
1 Timothy 4:4-5 “For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.” 1 Timothy 4:4-5 NIV These verses invite us to reflect on gratitude, prayer, and the goodness of God’s creation. When we understand this truth, it transforms our perspective on life’s simplest blessings. But it also flies in the face of beliefs that say that spiritual things are good

Freed To Love & Serve Others
Galatians 5:13-14 “You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”” Galatians 5:13-14 NIV Once we have been saved and set free from slavery to sin by faith, we become a new creation in Christ. And although our sin nature is still resident within our mortal flesh, we
