A Holy Bucket

I want you to imagine with me for a moment that I have a bucket with four holes in the bottom of it.  Fill it with water and what happens.  Of course, all the water will run out of the bucket (so you’ll need to have another container to catch the water).  After the water runs out, try it again.  They try it a third time.  What happens each time?  The water runs out, right?  So why fill the bucket that won’t hold water?

Let’s Have Some Fun

One Halloween night, a neighborhood practical joker decided to frighten the young trick-or-treaters who rang his doorbell.  He put on a floor-length black cape, a black hat fitted with devil’s horns, and a hideous mask that seemed to combine the most gruesome features of Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Wolf Man.  Then he waited.

 

Finally, his doorbell rang.  He turned off all the lights and shining a flashlight on his mask, he opened the door and pierced the night air with an eerie scream

Online Worship to Continue

Hey everyone and we are still social distancing and yes COVID-19 pandemic is still with us.  The governor has let the stay at home order end yesterday.  We should be getting much closer to meeting again.  We will keep everyone updated on when that will be.

Hey everyone and we are still social distancing and yes COVID-19 pandemic is still with us.  How is everyone feeling?  Are you ready for this to be over already?  I sure am!

This Sunday our service will be Online again on Facebook Live.  This Sunday I would like to start a new sermon series, “Four Best Places to Live.”  Where does the Bible say we should dwell?  We’re going to look at the Four Best Places to Live according to God and Scripture. The criteria are these:


No Dogs Allowed

There’s a guy with a Doberman pinscher and a guy with a Chihuahua.  The guy with the Doberman pinscher says to the guy with the Chihuahua, “Let’s go over to the restaurant and get something to eat.”

 

The guy with the Chihuahua says, “We can’t go in there.  We’ve got dogs with us.”

 

The guy with the Doberman pinscher says, “Just follow my lead.”

 

They walk over to the restaurant, the guy with the Doberman pinscher puts on a pair of dark glasses, and he starts to walk in.  A guy at the door says, “Sorry, Mac, no pets allowed.”
