“A Small Roadside Shrine”

Revelation 12:7-12             {Prayer}             As you drive down a road, down the interstate, or even as you approach an intersection, you may see a small roadside shrine. Now what do I mean by that. Well, these roadside shrines are markers symbolizing loss. These markers are telling us when and where a person’s life journey…

“Don’t Build Your Own Tower”

Genesis 11:1-9             {Prayer}             Of all the different remodeling projects that people take on, the bathroom and the kitchen are the most expensive. So to cut some costs, some try to tackle the project on their own. And as with any remodeling, do it yourself project, time is always a factor.             So, let’s…

“The Shelter of God’s Grace”

Genesis 9:8-17             {Prayer}             The movie The Wizard of Oz, a classic in movie cinema, focuses in on a sweet little farm girl from Kansas named Dorothy. Dorothy, with her trusty side kick, Toto, run away from her Auntie Em’s house in hope that someplace was better than the place she was at. Along…

“The Flood: Judgement and Grace”

Genesis 6:5-22             {Prayer}             Imagine for a moment that you are on a small boat. Let’s say it’s comparable to that of a row boat or life boat. You’re sitting in this little boat in the middle of a vast ocean. As far as you can see, you see nothing but water. The waves…

“Cain and Abel’s Offering”

Genesis 4:1-16             {Prayer}             When you receive a gift from someone … you can usually tell if the person thought it through or if they just happened to pick up something on the way to the party. You can probably also tell by the wrapping paper. If it’s wrapped neatly with crisp lines, curled…

“A Divine Promise”

Genesis 3:14-24             {Prayer}             Ever been told by someone not to do something … but then you go ahead and do it anyway? Like, don’t stick your finger in a box fan when the fan is on? Or, don’t hold onto an electric fence? Or, don’t put so much hot sauce on your burrito?…

“The Fall of Man”

Genesis 3:1-13             {Prayer}             A couple of weeks ago I brought up two masterpieces, “The Night Watch” by Rembrandt and the “La Pieta”, by Michelangelo. Both pieces had been severely damaged and had to undergo major restoration in order to make them look as close as possible to what they originally looked like. And…

“Strength for the Journey”

1 Kings 19:1-8             {Prayer}             For the last three weeks, the dominant theme in the sports world is not how the Chicago Cubs have beaten the St. Louis Cardinals. As great as that has been, the main focus has been overseas on the Summer Olympic Games in Paris.             The athletes who participate in…

“Created in His Image”

Genesis 1:26-31             {Prayer}              “The Night Watch” is a famous painting done by Rembrandt in 1642. The painting is roughly 12 feet by 14 ½ feet and is famed for transforming a group portrait of a civic guard company into a compelling drama energized by light and shadow.             Over the years, this famous…

“In the Beginning, God Created”

Genesis 1:1-25             {Prayer}              Ever sit back and just soak in the creation around you and be like … “Wow, this is just absolutely amazing?” Whether it’s the fiery or soft tones of a sunrise or sunset, the brightness of the stars shining in the dark night sky, the first steps of a newborn…
