I was thrilled to officiate a wedding for two dear friends this weekend. It was their desire that Christ be elevated in the ceremony. They wanted everyone to know that their heart is for Jesus to be the center of their lives. So amidst celebrating them and highlighting their love for one another, we also celebrated God’s great love. We …
Yesterday at Palmetto Shores Church we continued our study of the book of Esther. We experienced both the warning and the comfort of judgment as we considered the demise of Haman. The story of Haman warns us because is shows us of our own need for God’s mercy. But it also comforts us because it shows us that God will …

Chapter 3 powerfully connects our call to love others with the incarnation of Jesus. Notably, 1 John 3:5 emphasizes, ‘You know that he appeared in order to …
The joy of Christmas is upon us. In our service at Palmetto Shores Church yesterday, we were treated to the delightful sound of our children singing. The lyrics resonated, ‘This is Jesus, Emmanuel; here with us; tell all the world; we have a Savior. We are no longer lost; because He has come down for us; we have a Savior.’ …
Yesterday (12/3/23) marked an exciting day at Palmetto Shores Church as we launched a new Advent sermon series titled “In The Flesh,” which will delve into the book of First John. In 1 John 1:3-4, we read, “…the life was made manifest, and we have seen it, and testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was …
