Sermons – Trinity Church

28 Sep 25 The are a lot of angry people lately….

September 29, 2025

There are a lot of angry people lately. We all have pet peeves. Little things that make you mad. A lot of mine center around other drivers. I don’t mind someone doing 50 in a 55 zone, but when it drops down to 35 and they keep going at 50, I have been known to insult their mental competence, family members, and truly exercise the extensive vocabulary that I have learned over the years. Since I have such a loving wife who cares about me, she would ask me to stop insulting other drivers. I have tried to get better.

22 Jun 25 Courage is fear that has said its prayers.

June 22, 2025

Song Jirah by Elevation Worship playing…… Jirah means protector. Today we want to talk about protecting and courage. There is an old saying that says: “Courage is fear that has said its prayers.” There are many stories in the Bible about courageous people. Moses stood up to the Pharoh and led his people out of Egypt for 40 years to Israel. Queen Ester stood up to the King because the king wanted to persecute the Jews when to confront or challene the King was punishable by death. The list goes on and on. One of the most famous is when

30Mar 25 Broken

March 30, 2025

Looking for kind and gentle today. I met an interesting young man this week. I felt so blessed to meet someone who is so courageous and never quits. He is a kind gentle soul that has Cerebral Palsy. It impacts his walking and makes him drag his foot. Like many of us, he has gone through many life trials and tribulations, but he also has some major life accomplishments. He rides his bike when he can. It would be easy to label him as broken based on his past life choices. His life choices have not always been the best.

23 Feb 25 A Friend Loves at all Times

February 23, 2025

Funny how this sermon thing works. You write something out and then it keeps you up all night with the changes that feel righter or more right – better. As you can guess, I never sleep on Saturday nights and it wakes you up early. Someone posted a proverb this week and it sent my mind traveling (ADHD much?). Proverbs has 31 chapters and each one has multiple verses. Bible Gateway even had one today for verse of the day. For what we would like you to do today, I would ask you to open your heart as you read

16 Feb 25 Adulting is Hard

February 16, 2025

One of my daughters says sometimes that she is tired of adulting because it is hard. We all know that. A little story about the Army Navy game my plebe year. Freshmen were not allowed to stay overnight after the game but we were allowed to stay until midnight. So several of my classmates preceded to buy alcohol and get extremely drunk and/or sick. It made for a long, stinky, bus ride back to New York. These were mainly 18 year olds. Those of us who did not come to West Point right after High School were obviously older and

29 Dec 24 Other Denominations

December 30, 2024

A lot of talk recently on the internet about religion this and religion that. I was kind of astonished last night when I was reading about instant turn offs for someone when they are looking for a mate. One of the common threads was they didn’t like someone who followed an organized religion. It just blew my mind in a lot of ways, and I was reminded that there are a lot of religions and denominations out there. One of the pages that I am on is a Christian Bikers Group. They talk about Christian only subjects. Some of the

8 Dec 24 Natural Path.

December 9, 2024

You know that feeling that you get when some Christian artists sing – the hair stands up on your arms and it feels like Jesus is in the room? Our church symbol is something born out of one of those hair-raising moments when you feel like God is making His presence known. If you know what I mean, you know what I mean. It says “Trinity Church, the natural path to Christ”. A while back, someone asked me what the “Natural path to Christ” means. There is a physical path that emphasizes accepting the Grace from God that has given

1 Dec 24 Guilt and Forgiveness.

December 1, 2024

The last few weeks, I have felt so pushed by the Spirit that what I had to say felt like it was memorized on my brain so I didn’t write it down, but that makes it hard to capture it again to post so if you didn’t zoom in, it was said and probably/maybe forgotten. This is an important time now as we start as we start ramping up to celebrate our dear Savior’s birth. I know we are ramping up because I carried many, many boxes down from storage to start the Christmas setup. Now is the beginning of

13 Oct 24 Forgiving and relationships

October 13, 2024

Sometimes, finding what to say on Sunday is a struggle. You want it to be God’s word and you are not hearing it. This is the part where I sometimes stick in the story A boy was watching his father, a pastor, write a sermon….. “How do you know what to say?” the little boy asked. “Why, God tells me. “Oh, then why do you keep crossing things out?” Then sometimes, you wake up in the middle of the night and the thoughts are keeping you awake so you have to get up and write them down. Then you know

22 Sep 24 Patience and WAIT Training

September 25, 2024

Recently, we have had many things come to fruition in our lives. So many things that we have been waiting on have finally happened. Many many things. The Lord has been good to us. It has been a long wait. Of all the prophets in the Old Testament, Isaiah is one of the most productive. 45 chapters and each one is long. Chapters are often given titles. Isaiah 40 is called Comfort for God’s people. It is the prophet speaking comfort to a people who have been displaced from their homes and exiled from the temple of the Lord. They
