“He has risen!” With those words, the darkness and despair of the Crucifixion are transformed into the great joy that is ours on this Resurrection Sunday. Hallelujah!! Pastor Flaa

Making a Scene
I am confident that at some point in our lives, we have either ‘made a scene’ or watched one unfold…you know, the 3-year-old in a grocery store getting dragged by mom crying at the top of his lungs because she would not buy that box of Captain Crunch. Or the gathering of a large group...

The Most Important Generation
This week’s message will focus on a phenomenon that is urgently important for the church and families to maneuver through with great care—the “generation gap.” Specifically this phrase describes the reality that differences exist between one generation and another regarding thoughts, attitudes, actions, and even tastes. Although in many of these areas, this gap is...

Stuck in the Mud
It is not uncommon for a believer to feel “stuck in the mud”. It can happen in nearly every area of our lives, from the spiritual to the practical. Perhaps you have labored tirelessly on a project only to see it flounder or even fail; perhaps you are seeking to build a relationship only to...

The Community of Hope
As I wrap up my schooling for a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, Pastor Kirk has asked me to consider some sermons on how we as the church can address mental health, how we can encourage one another in our marriages, how we can have stronger families.

Going for the Savior
It is not uncommon for Gloria and I to turn on the TV in the kitchen as supper is prepared. Truth be told, if it were all up to me we would be watching ESPN, but seeing that Gloria does nearly all the cooking she gets to choose the station and generally we find ourselves...

Growing in the Savior
I remember years ago when we purchased a one-acre lot and built a home ‘in the country’. It was in a development called Lincoln Lakes just north of Spring Creek Golf Course, and at that time, there were very few homes out there. The first spring we were there, my main project was to plant...

Knowing the Savior
All of us have likely experienced those times when a few words pack quite an impact and, in fact, can be life-changing. A couple come to my mind for me, like when Gloria and I said, “I do,” some 37 years ago, or when the doctor said, “It’s a boy,” at the birth of both our...

Me and Jeremiah
Have you ever been reading Scripture and found yourself wishing God would do that for me? You know, like when reading how God granted insight to Solomon when faced with a hard decision with two mothers (1 Kings 3:16ff.), or when God spoke to Moses through a burning bush (Exodus 3), or as He sent...
