I wrote in October that I was starting a new ministry venture into Tiktok, and I’m crossposting those videos to youTube for those who, like I was, refuse to use the TikTok app for various reasons.

Please like, follow, share, and repost the content you find edifying, challenging, or informative to help spread the message that God’s Word is life!

New ministry venture

From the suggestion of friends and family, I am enbarking on a new ministry venture while continuing to provide for my family by driving semi trucks.

In addition to returning to a commitment to writing more, I am finally breaking down a personal barrier and embracing TikTok as a medium to carry the Good News.

Please consider visiting and supporting my new TikTok channel and submitting topics you may like to see addressed.

May God continue to bless you as you follow Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit.

I post much more encouragement, memes, and information to that page than the website.

Rejoice Always

There are a lot of places in Scripture where it specifically says, ‘this is the will of God”, although it is certainly implied in most places. And, definitely is in the commandments…

Yet, here is one where it’s absolutely clear. It was our kids memory and handwriting verse at school Monday and Tuesday. Originally, until I said something, they looked at three verses and saw them as separate.

I had they take a closer look then zoom back out again. Guys, it’s all one sentence, one thought, one instruction.

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

The Sermon on the Mount

The Sermon on the Mount, part two of Jesus, Who?

Matthew 5-7, the Sermon on the Mount, is one of the longest single passages of Jesus’s actual words and teaching. Today’s sermon is a fly-by at 30,000 feet and highlights just some of what Jesus taught his disciples early in his ministry before he was rejected by Israel.

While a single sermon can hardly do it justice, when volumes have been written about this passage. We’re aiming for an overview of how his followers should interact with God and the world around us according to Jesus.

For those watching the video, I apologize, the camera cutoff after 29 minutes. Fortunately, my son, Robbie, is getting better with video editing. The beginning and end are different than the full audio, but you still get the message.

Audio has the full sermon.

Full sermon, audio only

Side note for my followers… Would posting a transcript of the sermon be better for some of you, or stick with audio and video?
