It was such a blessing to get away with my bride to the mountains for a few days to catch our breath amid a busy season of ministry.  I am so thankful for my dear friend, Darrell Thomsen, bringing a special word on 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18. It is one of my favorite passages, and one I encourage people to commit to memory.  “Rejoice always…pray without ceasing…give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.”  Those are words to live by!  

This Sunday we will look at Ephesians 3:1-13 and see how God is creating “A New Family.”  I can’t wait to be back in the pulpit, unpacking God’s Word with you.  See you then.
