How much do you know about silver? I have been doing some research lately, because I know the Bible compares faith to precious metals that must be tested with fire. It also says much about being refined by fire. I feel like my whole year so far has been the refining fire. I truly believeContinue reading “Refined By Fire”

Yoked, A Parable
I have had a lot on my mind lately. I haven’t written anything in over a week. I have been throwing a pity party of sorts. When last I wrote and spoke, I talked about learning to walk in the Spirit. How we achieve that by metanoia. Metanoia is a Greek word, meta meaning above,Continue reading “Yoked, A Parable”
What Are You Wearing?
I don’t want to brag (ok maybe I do), I have a group of guys that meet at my house week after week. At our men’s small group, we encourage one another, strengthen one another, sharpen one another, and bear one another’s burdens. I love this group of guys. I pray for my favorite dudesContinue reading “What Are You Wearing?”

Fear and Doubt Like Kryptonite
Odd question, but what is Superman’s number one weakness? If you are a nerd like me, you know the answer is kryptonite. It is a small piece of Superman’s home world that emits radiation and renders Superman’s abilities useless. It weakens him to the point he becomes a normal man. What if Clark KentContinue reading “Fear and Doubt Like Kryptonite”
Suffering, What’s the Point?
I am not going to lie; this is going to be my longest blog to date. But the message is important. I have dwelt on it all day. If you can spare 10 or 15 minutes, this may change your perspective on suffering. This is important and I pray you take the time toContinue reading “Suffering, What’s the Point?”
Baptized In The Name of Jesus.
Andre and Nola Vink, along with their son Jarrvis, were baptized today. Praise the Lord. Their family is new to Hillside and we have so enjoyed them and their three boys. We look forward to worshiping and growing with them in Christ.
The Good Shepherd
In Children’s Church today they used Shaving Cream to make some messy sheep.. Sometimes the Good Shepherd has some messy sheep, but he still loves and cares for us.
