Part 6 – They Called Him “Rabbi” 38 When Jesus turned and noticed them following him, he asked them, “What are you looking for?” They said to him, “Rabbi” (which means “Teacher”), “where are you staying?” John 1:38 (CSBBible) Rabbi is a Jewish term which means “Teacher.” Those that began following Jesus early in His […]
I don’t mind change. Actually, I even like some changes. However, what has been most troubling lately, is that the Coronavirus has changed almost everything. And it is still changing things. It is changing our culture, our families, our relationships, our education, media and even—dare I say it, the church. I have a word for […]
Part 5 – It’s About the People Jesus died for you and me. The Gospel has been, is, and will always be about Jesus offering salvation to all people. The church, our ministry, and our focus is and should always be about reaching people with the Gospel, equipping them with the truth of God’s Word, […]

Part 3 – Teaching a Life-Changing Bible Study Now more than ever, people need to hear from God. 22 But be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23Because if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like someone looking at his own face in a […]
Part 2 – Reaching New People In the midst of trying to stay connected to the membership of our congregation, we must not forget or neglect those in our community who STILL need to hear the Gospel unto salvation and know that there is a church that cares about them. The Great Commission is still […]
Part One – the Introduction Are you like me, growing weary of hearing or talking about Covid 19? When are we ever going to get back to normal? Even so, it is our current reality, and we talk about it because it affects our everyday lives. But, it doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t be talking […]
COVID 19 Update—Be a lamp. When the Stay at Home order was first given in March of this year, I was anxious and fearful. What kind of impact was this going to have on me, my family, my work, my church, and our world? I was not prepared for all that would happen. But, I […]

Normally, my church has two worship services and two Sunday School hours on Sunday morning. We chose to re-establish worship first and continue our groups via digital format, in homes.
