First Encounters

Exodus 19:1-9 “First Encounters”             {Prayer}             First impressions … first impressions are huge.  First impressions play a large role especially in the world of human resources.  As a Human Resource Manager for a private food manufacturing company before going to seminary and becoming a pastor, how the application looked when I received it made…

Dear Friends in Christ,    Most of you here today have probably heard the phrase, “the shot heard round the world,” and you might even remember from your days in history class that this was the first shot fired in Boston back in April of…

Nothing Gonna Stop Us

Acts 16:31 (ESV)31 And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.”             I came across an illustration I want to share with you this morning and no, it has nothing to do with 1987 song by Starship or the movie Mannequin.  I know some of you when you saw…
