Reach Out

Trinity is a great church. Who do you know that doesn’t need a church like Trinity? Jesus did not say, “You twelve stay here in a holy huddle and take care of yourselves.” He said, “Make Disciples!” Who has God put in your life that needs a Savior and what Jesus has to offer? Is this the time to [...]

Reach Up

God has put open doors all around us. There is an open door to your heart. There is an open door to our community. Too often, we get paralyzed by our strategizing and fears to take advantage of these open doors. Our only hope is for Jesus, who knocks at the door of our heart, to empower the possibilities [...]

Shiphrah and Puah

We live in a culture that is becoming very challenging for Christians. We are told that some things are legal that are against the Law of God. What do we do? How does a Christian respond? Shiphrah and Puah were two midwives ordered by the king to put little babies to death. They defied the laws of the land [...]

Mephibosheth

One of the most difficult things in life to do for us is to receive help. There are many reasons why, perhaps foremost is that we don’t want to feel needy. Mephibosheth was a man who was crippled. This made him a burden in the ancient world. Even more, as a descendent of the previous king, he should have [...]

The Innkeeper

As we kick off VBS week with a return to the night of Jesus' birth, we go backstage to meet the unnamed innkeeper in Bethlehem. Is this person really infamous? Many of us, even unintentionally, see the innkeeper in a negative light. After all, no one with a caring heart would relegate the young Mary to give birth among [...]

Rich Carter

How will the church possibly manage in a culture that is not just non-Christian, but anti-Christian? We can never forget that Jesus is the head of the Church. Remember the little boy who provided 5 loaves and 2 fish with which Jesus fed 5000 plus people? What a great reminder that Jesus uses us and the resources around us [...]

Rahab

As we meet Rahab this weekend, we find an incredible story of God’s grace in the most unlikely of lives. She was marginalized by the community around her. She was despised in the sight of anyone with an ounce of moral integrity. Yet Rahab was loved by God, included in the ancestry of Jesus Himself, and even raised up [...]

King Uzziah

King Uzziah was one of the great kings of Judah. He walked in the ways of the Lord and was true to His Word until…he started to do things his own way. The Bible says that he fell to the sin of pride. One of the consequences of that pride was contracting leprosy. What started as so good turned [...]
