September 25, 2025
Let keep digging into 2 Corinthians;“For we do not want you to be unaware, brothers, of the affliction we experienced in Asia. For we were so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we despaired of life itself. Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death. But that was to make us...
weaknessSeptember 24, 2025
I want to shift gears this week by discussing probably my most favorite verse in the Bible;“So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited. Three...
humilitySeptember 23, 2025
“Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.”Philippians 2:3 ESVSo, we all have to deal with pride, lust and entitlement to some degree. Some more in one area than others. But to be able to deal with the weak areas of our life we nee...
spiritual-giftsSeptember 22, 2025
Did you know you have a gift to share? You do, whether you are aware of it or not you’ve got one. Over the years, I’ve been blessed with the ability to share my love of flying to so many people. More specifically, the kids. The smiles that you get when someone flies for the first time or you wave...
perseveranceSeptember 19, 2025
I’ve been writing about persevering the last couple of days and reading about the struggle on Earth and the eternal reward in Heaven. For most of my life I raced motocross, most of you know that. But I’ve never received a medal with out running the race. No successful business person or entrepren...
character-buildingSeptember 18, 2025
Grinding it out and persevering builds character. Plain and simple. Something about endurance has the incredible capacity to refine you. I guess it’s kind of like a fire for silver, removing impurities and strengthening the character. Often because endurance goes hand-in-hand with trials and tria...
contentmentSeptember 17, 2025
I’m totally entrenched in our topic we started last week and I want to wrap it up with a simple question? How quickly can you or do you bounce back from hardship and loss? Maybe it paralyses you into a depressed state? The key is learning to press on in life regardless of your adverse circumstanc...
depressionSeptember 16, 2025
So, today marks the six year anniversary of a good friend of mine who tried to take his life. He was a well know athlete in the action sports world and his attempt has left him an invalid. He suffered from the silent killer, depression. Depression is real and when people suffer from it, it’s to b...
materialismSeptember 15, 2025
So, I want to keep on track this week about some of the things that in many ways separate us from our relationship with God. The pursuit of “more” is definitely one of those things...“He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves wealth with his income; this also is vanity...
fearSeptember 12, 2025
I’m sure I’m like the rest of us when I say I’m bad about fear and worry. No matter how much I KNOW my life is in Gods hands and he always provides, I still get caught in worry. When that happens, I think we are not necessarily driving God away, but we are certainly keeping him at bay. “There is...
bible-studySeptember 11, 2025
Ok folks, this last week has been nothing short of tragic and I know, like you, we have so many questions. But here’s the deal, we have a place to find the answers. So, I’m like you and often just wish sometimes that life had an instruction manual? Well, actually God has given us one. It’s called...
sharing-gospelSeptember 10, 2025
So far this week we’ve talked about what God did for us by sending his one and only son to die for our sins. We’ve talked about loving God passionately and loving others selflessly. But how do we really share the Gospel? By staying on a mission! Now you and I know about God’s grace and the salvat...
gods-loveSeptember 9, 2025
Following Jesus truly comes down to two things: Love God passionately, and love people selflessly! Our world we live in is starved for love! Not the fake, strings attached kind of love, but the real kind of love that only comes from God. That’s the kind we get from a relationship with God that we...
resurrectionSeptember 8, 2025
“Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?"”John 11:25-26 That’s really all there is to it, isn’t it? I mean, just believe that Jesus died for yo...
gods-loveSeptember 5, 2025
“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.”Revelation 3:20 One of the most powerful things you need to understand as you Follow Jesus is how much God loves you, He isn't interested in some religious...
courageSeptember 4, 2025
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."”Joshua 1:9 Hearing that you should be strong and courageous is a lofty notion. It’s a pretty good idea. It’s something nice to hear. But God steps...
restraintSeptember 3, 2025
I got to thinking over the last week how some things are better left unspoken; don’t give them airtime. In other words, if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it at all...right? Proverbs 10:19 “In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, but he who restrains his lips is wise”.Some th...
gentle-wordsSeptember 2, 2025
I’ve always been known as someone who “tells is like it is”. I’ve taken pride in the you may not like what I say, but I will always tell you like I see it. Well, maybe I need to work on the way in which I deliver my message...maybe you do too.I/we need to understand and leverage the power of gent...
integritySeptember 1, 2025
“Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but he who makes his ways crooked will be found out.”Proverbs 10:9 In today's world of sports, it seems that anything done for an advantage is fair game—as long as you don't get caught.As Christians, however, we are held to a higher standard. Our goal s...
salvationAugust 29, 2025
“"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”John 3:16 So this morning’s verse was on my phone and just popped up and it was John 3:16. We see it everywhere, it’s been commercialized, advertised and immortalized by...
gods-goodnessAugust 28, 2025
We will all face those times in our lives when we question whether or not God is on our side. In September of 2016, I was seriously injured doing what I love, racing motocross. I broke my jaw requiring plates and screws and my back at the T5,6&7. While the weather was great that fall, I was laid...
weaknessAugust 27, 2025
You know, people will do almost anything to appear strong, successful, and worthy of admiration. We exercise our bodies with intensity post the process to Instagram, climb the corporate ladder at the expense of integrity, and struggle to accept the help of other people. Our society works by the p...
prayerAugust 26, 2025
So I’ve been reading-thinking about prayer and when God is listening. Does he take a break from listening? Naw, I think He’s always there...But how do we react when God is silent? You see, God uses silence to draw out faith. Great faith. When God is silent, do we listen to voices that question ou...
heart-transformationAugust 25, 2025
But Peter said to him, "Explain the parable to us." And he said, "Are you also still without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the stomach and is expelled? But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this defiles a person. For out of the...
