Enough

When is it enough? Popeye (cartoon character) seemed to know. “I have had enough and enough is too much.” Or “I have had all I can stand, I can stands no more…” We seem to evaluate that equation more often than not. Is this enough…exercise, food, sleep, money, room, color, clothes, (just try to keep it in the smaller suitcase). I think you get the idea. But, do you know…

Vision Testing

I remember the day I discovered the need for glasses. I was 15 years old, just coming up to the sixth month mark, and I would be eligible to take a class called “behind the wheel.” A whole world of independent opportunity was within my grasp the day I got my driver’s license. One problem, I failed the eye test. No wonder I was plagued with headaches and squinting to…

The Great Exchange…

He who knew no sin, became sin that we might become the righteousness of God! No wonder this is the greatest story ever told. We celebrate “the moment” He laid down His life for us! We invite you to join us this Friday @ 6:30pm as we “remember”! See You in Church, Pastor Greg

I know I am…

Hungry. But for what? It happens to all of us. We look in the pantry or fridge as well as that secret stash, and it just doesn’t do it. We settle for the easy, the second best, the less than what we want. Hey, if we get like that in the natural day to day shuffle of life, what happens to us “spiritually”? Pastor Cathy and I are teaching a series on Jesus’ famous…

Seasons are made for change…

Who could have imagined a week of June in February? Now back to Wisconsin’s truest colors.  I just want to remind you the “Chili Cook Off” is this Sunday… How fitting. I hope you can stay after the service, enjoy fellowship, and cast your ballot for your favorite chili. Pastor Greg PS…special guest video appearance by Christian comic Tim Hawkins

Soon, but not yet……..

This is the crucible where the character trait called patience is forged. The Bible is full of promises that operate with patience as the secret to obtaining. For example, Hebrews 6:12 …”but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.” Not only do I have to believe that God will…I have to wait! That is when the pressure of circumstances can press…

Did You Know?

The Lord lays out two amazing facts all in the same breath. First He says, “You do not know this…” “But you do know that…” Confusing? Not really, let’s go to the passage in Matthew 24:42-43: …keep watch. You don’t know when your Lord will come.  But you should know this: If the owner of a house had known his house was about to be broken into, he would have stayed up all…

The Cure?

How do I fix “spiritual boredom”? It was a devotional topic that caught my eye and piqued my interest. Perhaps that is what “the church” is experiencing.  Thinking about empty classrooms and seats on a Sunday or Wednesday night had me finishing the article. The author targeted what James wrote: James 1:22 The Voice (VOICE) 22 Put the word into action. If you think…

Leftovers

It is one thing about the Holidays. Ham, turkey, beef, gravy, potatoes, cookies, candies, and on and on we could go. They are there…revisit, get creative, and use your imagination…finally get rid of the leftovers. I have had enough. Well, now that I‘ve got that out of my system! The end-of-the-year feels like leftovers. In 2016, I still have leftovers and I sure wish I…

Christmas Eve Candlelight Service!

Just need to send a reminder to all……. On Saturday Evening at 6:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m., we are hosting our Christmas Eve Candlelight Service. Sunday is Christmas, and knowing there are many events to juggle, I just want you all to know we are “open” for business!   After all, it is our “founder’s” birthday we are celebrating.  I just couldn’t close up shop… LOL All…
