A clock tells you what time it is. An alarm clock tells you that it's time todosomething about it! In the same way, the "call to worship" is more than just a reminder that church starts at 10:00 am, or that you need to take a seat;the "call to worship" and the "benediction" serve as biblical and theological bookends to call and remind us of what we are about as believers i...

Motivation for Sacrificial Ministry
The uncreated, eternal, perfect, and holy God is a servant.

Recently I have been reading in the gospel of Mark in the mornings at home, and I've been struck by this verse again. Not ...

"Back when I was in my prime..."
We've all heard it: the former athlete reminiscing about bygone years of glorious competitions and victory. The talk show interview with the 70's rockstar who can't quite hit those notes anymore, but loves to boast of stadiums packed to the last seat. As we age, it's tempting to think that our greatest achievements were "back then" whe...

"Is there anything I can do to serve this Sunday?"
That's a great question, and one that I have been asked over and over during this unique time in our church's life. The reason it is unique and different at this moment, is because many of the usual opportunities to "do something" (on Sunday, in particular) have changed, and can seem not quite so obvious.
