Pray for the Philippines

I found out about a 7.8 earthquake on Sunday on the southern end of the Philippines when I noticed a major dip in my blog views. I have a large audience from that area, so their inability to get online and subsequent absence from my views alerted me to look up the area.

If you have not seen the destruction from buildings collapsing and tsunami damage, they are in pretty bad shape.

Let us lift up the entire region, that they may recover quickly, mourn those lost well, and find comfort in Christ and His Church during this time. Pray for those searching for missing people, strength to endure, and help to come quickly.

Sermon: The Joy of Church, Pt. 1 – Philippians 1:1-6

I preached again!

We are continuing the series in Philippians, tackling the first six verses. As usual, my PowerPoint in included below the video.

Philippians 1:1-6

VerseD: Matthew 5:9

The peacemakers are blessed, for they will be called sons of God.

Matthew 5:9, HCSB

In a world of pain, violence, and oppression, God calls us to bring His peace which was given to us by the Son through the cross.
