“Things In Heaven And Things On Earth”

July 11, 2021: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard.  Amen. The English language is filled with annoying and even downright hilarious examples of how crazy it can be.  Take the fabulous Oxford comma, a crucial grammatical tool, especially when we consider a sentence like this one with, or without, the comma:…

“What To A Christian Is The 4th Of July?”

July 4, 2021: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard.  Amen.

“Hold My Sweet Tea!”

June 6, 2021: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard.  Amen. Well, it’s been awhile, right?  This two Sunday a month worship can sometimes feel like an eternity when we have a five Sunday month as we did in May, but that will all be behind us in September as we return…

“Abide In My Love”
