22 Feb: Where Are We Going At FBC?
In the past four weeks the Lord has truly been working on my heart. A deeper conviction of sin, a more acute of awareness of His holiness, and the hatred He has for apathy are some of the things He is showing me. As I read my Bible I see a loving God who was [...]
08 Feb: Super “Temptation” Sunday
I enjoy football like the next guy. My team didn’t win yesterday but I really enjoyed relaxing and watching a good SuperBowl game and my hat goes off to the New Orleans Saints for playing wonderfully. Maybe next year Peyton!
I enjoyed the game but I can’t say the same for the many commercials that [...]
02-Feb: A New Command
While on earth He was the walking epitome of love. He modeled in person the love the Father has for each of us and how the Father expects us to love one another.
11-Jan: The Citizenship Challenge
Yesterday in services we mentioned that a Christian’s citizenship is in heaven (See: Phil 3:20). We also mentioned that with any citizenship comes both responsibility and expectation as we live out our commitment and loyalty to our allegiance, which in this case is to Jesus Christ. The challenge was to ask ourselves whether or not [...]
Forestburg – welcome to 2010!
Dear Friends and Family,
Welcome to 2010! Wow! I am excited about this year as it will be the first full year as your pastor, friend, and brother-in-Christ. Not only am I excited about the opportunity the Lord has given me to invest in Him in Forestburg, I am also excited about the expectations I [...]
Christmas Eve 2000yrs Ago
I wonder what it must have been like 2000 years ago on the Eve of Jesus’ birth. I am fond of the movie The Nativity because it provides such a realistic account of what it must have been like. Unfortunately, not all the details are correct – i.e. the Wisemen coming the evening [...]
The Advent Conspiracy
Friends,
This Sunday (20th of December) we are going to conclude our series on “Temptations of Christmas’ Past” and talk about the greatest temptation every December – indulgence. Indulgence comes in many forms and fashions and is something that tempts many. Over eating, drinking, spending too much money, and relaxing moral constraints are but a [...]
Christmas Temptations
Christmas season is upon us. In many ways I am excited. I enjoy watching my children get excited over the presents, the tree and all the hoop-la surrounding the big day. However, in many ways I am “bah-humbug” because it seems there is so much pressure and temptation that removes Christ from the scene.

Giving Thanks
Probably more than ever before today I am reflecting upon the fact that I have so much to give thanks for. Today, being “Thanksgiving Day” seems like a perfect day to reflect upon the reasons I have to give thanks. However, I am wondering why it is that I have failed at times to keep a [...]
Ready for the Wedding?
Friends, for many weeks my heart has been inclined to share a message to as many as I can. I have not had the permission to preach this message as of yet but have felt it deep in my heart as I have thought about the world we live. Our world is in a depraved [...]
