As we continue to work through the Psalms, we encountered a challenging passage yesterday in Psalm 137. The last two verses of the Psalm say, “O daughter of Babylon, doomed to be destroyed, blessed shall he be who repays you with what you have done to us! Blessed shall he be who takes your little ones and dashes them against …
Last night at our Sunday Seminars we covered the article on Perseverance of the Saints. Our article reads, “Those whom God has accepted in the Beloved, and sanctified by his Spirit, will never totally nor finally fall away from the state of grace, but shall certainly persevere to the end; and though they may fall through neglect and temptation, into …
On Sunday evening at Palmetto Shores Church, we continued with our Sunday Seminars, discovering what the Bible teaches about sanctification. Our article on Sanctification reads, “Those who have been regenerated are also sanctified by God’s Word and Spirit dwelling in them. This sanctification is progressive through the supply of divine strength, which all saints seek to obtain, pressing after a …
My Weekend Recap from last week was about unity. In light of the shooting which took place in Pennsylvania on Saturday (7/13/24), I thought it was important to circle back around. At Palmetto Shores Church yesterday, we took a brief moment before our sermon to pray for unity in our country and unity in the church. Here is an excerpt …
Yesterday at Palmetto Shores Church, we considered the significance of unity in the body of Christ. Psalm 133:1 opens up saying, “Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity!” It is pleasing to God, to us, and to the world around us when we have the same heart. Unity in our own power is impossible, but …
Yesterday at Palmetto Shores Church we refocused on the glory of God. We were reminded that God deserves all the honor and praise from our lives. And that includes our deepest passions to know Him and make Him known. Over the next few weeks I have some important prayer requests: 1) VBS at the church Sunday night July 7th 2) …
This Sunday at Palmetto Shores Church was full of hope. We considered Psalm 130 together. In this Psalm we find ourselves down in the pit because of our own bad decisions. But what we learn is that God is a God who meets us down in the low place. And He also meets us with surprises. Psalm 130:4 says, “But …
This weekend our family traveled to Black Mountain, NC. We explored, ate ice cream, and had fun together. I got to introduce my son to the camp that I grew up going to. We played basketball, threw the frisbee, and sang loud in worship to the Lord. We missed being with our church family, but it was a great weekend …
This weekend Alli and I attending a wedding on the same day as our 10 year wedding anniversary. We can’t believe that it has been 10 years. It has been fun reflecting on our lives over the last decade. Overall we just see how faithful God has been to us. There have been some really difficult seasons and also some …
Yesterday was a full day at Palmetto Shores Church. We continued in the “Songs of Ascent” with Psalm 127. These two verses back-to-back make for some interesting reflection. Psalm 127:2-3 says, “It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep. Behold, children …
