The 79-Cent Gospel

We live in an information age, bombarded with worldly wisdom, theological wisdom, biblical wisdom, and endless “pratical” wisdom for Christian living—and much of it may actually be wise. Yet Paul’s words encourage us to ask: “Does all this knowledge lead us to know God, or have we mistaken knowing things about Him for knowing Him?”

Pastor Tim is celebrating Christmas in July by thinking about how God gives us gifts available all year long, not just at Christmas.

Are We Keeping Track of Our Strangeness? (July 21, 2025)

Proverbs challenges us to be aware of where we are leaving the gracious confines of God’s way. The trouble for us is that we don’t even notice as we wander.

Where Did You Hear About Us? (July 13, 2025)

We fall into measuring our place with God by how much Scripture we know or how “spiritual” we sound. Paul tells us the real measure is somewhere else: “the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation.” What changes when we remember that the Christian journey began by hearing what God has done not what we do?

The World says, “if you don’t know what to do just do something.” God says, “if you don’t know what to do, follow me.”

Why You're Really Here (July 6, 2025)

In the movies, every important meeting starts with a clear “You may be wondering why I’ve called you here today.” Real meetings leave you guessing the whole time—and sometimes long after. We often treat God’s Word the same way, yet Ephesians 1 addresses the question head-on: why are you here?
