August 30, Sunday Service of Worship (Numbers 3:14-51, As the Lord Commanded)
…And this tribe of Levi is to serve the Lord as his chosen possession. “The Levites are mine; I am the Lord,” he says in v. 45. So the Levites served at the whim of the Lord. So, while all the other tribes could go out and plant their fields and raise their livestock, the Levites had to camp…
August 23, Sunday Service of Worship (Numbers 3:1-13, My Brother’s Keeper)
…But the tribe of Levi also kept guard over the people. Meaning, they watched for intruders, those who disregarded the Lord’s commands and tried to get to close to the tent of meeting, and they put those intruders to death. Not only as a punishment against the wicked, but as a protection for…

July 26, Sunday Service of Worship (Numbers 2:1-34, Ordered Around the Presence of the Lord)

June 28, Sunday Service of Worship (Mark 15:40-6:8, Courage or Fear)
…Mark 16:8 And they went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had seized them, and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid. You can see how people would not read this as a fitting ending. Because there’s more to the story. The women eventually did tell the…
June 21, Sunday Service of Worship (Mark 15:33-39, Reconciliation Through the Cross)
…You’ll probably remember that with that cry Jesus shouted, “It is finished!” Mark only wants us to know about the loud cry, because the manner of the cry caused the centurion to see something different about Jesus. Mark doesn’t give us the words of the cry, but he gives us the actual…
June 14, Sunday Service of Worship (Mark 15:16-32, The Cross of Glory)
…On Thursday I watched the opening ceremony for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. I don’t think there’s a greater spectacle to behold in the world. For most Americans, the World Cup holds little value. I’m not sure why we chose to go with American Football or basketball over soccer, or football as…
