In this parable Jesus contrasted a man who had it all with a man who had nothing. Yet in eternity their roles were reversed. It's not how much we have, but how we use it that counts! - Pastor Betts
Parable of the Stealing Steward
Jesus gave an interesting story about a crafty steward who invested in his future by taking profits from his employer. Jesus ended the story by teaching that there is something more important than self-interest to invest our money in. Let's be smart stewards. - Pastor Betts
The Third Day
Jesus died on Good Friday. His body laid in the tomb on Saturday. He rose from the grave on Sunday. Christians are people of the third day. Christ has conquered sin and death! He is risen! Let's celebrate! - Pastor Betts

Who Is This?
Jesus was heading for Jerusalem when an impromptu celebration and procession took place. They hoped that Jesus was the promised Messiah. But some asked the question, "Who is this?" I wonder, do we understand who Jesus is today? - Pastor Betts
Every Day I Will Bless You
On the fifth Sunday of Lent our scripture is a psalm of praise. We know God does so much for us every day. But do we praise God every day? Even when its a bad day? - Pastor Betts
A Division Among Them
Our Lenten devotion for today concerns the man born blind whom Jesus healed. You would think the miracle would have been followed by a celebration. But, because the healing took place on the Sabbath, the miracle ended in controversy. How sad! - Pastor Betts
No Dealings with Samaritans
Our Lenten Scripture this Sunday is about Jesus having a conversation with the Samaritan woman at the well. Are we willing to cross cultural boundaries in order to have a conversation with someone about God? - Pastor
Abraham Believed God
Abraham had a relationship with God. Perhaps for some Christians Lent is about fasting in order to check off a ritual duty to God. But I see Lent as a opportunity to show God how much I love and appreciate what He did for us on Easter. Lent is not a ritual. It is part of our relationship with God. - Pastor Betts
