what does faith look like?

Good morning church! What a glorious day!!! Luke, chapter 7 starts with a powerful man who is in need of a powerful God and miracle. He is a Centurion in the Roman army, in charge of 100 soldiers, wealthy enough to have servants, and influential enough to be able to order Jewish leaders. Yet, all this wealth, power and authority can't

Heart fruit - what are you producing?

Good morning Church, Happy Family Day!!! The opening chapter of Genesis contains this command: "Be fruitful and multiply" (1:28). In today's reading Jesus talks about bearing fruit. A fruit can only be as good or bad as the tree it is growing on. We use an expression to refer to kids, "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree", meaning a child

Guard against hypocrisy (judging others, without judging yourself)

Greetings fellow servants,  This week's reading is still part of the "sermon on the mount", and is a part of the "law of the Kingdom" for living in true loving community - brother to brother in God's family (41-42). It is hard to read this passage without taking a look at your own life. If you read this and immediately think

Love... who??? You gotta be Kidding?!!?

Good morning Church, Got any enemies? People who've done you wrong, you wished something would happen to them...they would get what they deserve!? Ever cursed anyone? Our human tendency is to get offended when someone wrongs us, get angry, let our heart get hard, think bad thoughts against that person, or even wish them harm or death.

Get off my back!

Good morning Church, Have you ever had someone breathing down your neck; watching your every move; telling you how to do things the "right way" and drilling you with questions about your choices? Imagine a group of religious leaders, with a set of rules for everything, judging your every move. That's what it was like for Jesus living

The 2 Most Important Things

MATSA MOMENTS - Pastor Mike
Hello Church, It's 2020! Have you made a pledge to be more like Jesus; to live like Him, do what He did and wants us to do? We can't do what He wants without these two key helps: Holy Spirit and the Word of God. As we follow the Life of Jesus, from His birth into ministry, we see that He needed to be baptized in the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit was

A King is born! A King is coming!

Psalm 145:11 They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom, And talk of Your power, 12 To make known to the sons of men His mighty acts, And the glorious majesty of His kingdom. 13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And Your dominion endures throughout all generations. Good morning church, It's almost a new year. Another opportunity

Matsa Moments - Pastor Mike

Matsa Moments - Pastor Mike


The Hebrew word “Matsa” means to: find, meet, discover, encounter. It is used in Deuteronomy 4:29 where the Lord says, "But from there you will seek the LORD your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.” Throughout Scripture, there is an invitation from God to find Him; He actually rewards those who diligently seek Him (Heb. 11:6). To see God we must be looking for Him.

This blog is a journal of finding God - discovering who He is; learning more about His character and attributes, as I encounter Him in in His Word and world around me. These posts are theological reflections emerging out of a desire to understand how the Creator interacts with us, His creatures. Hopefully, through these you will see how the Ever-present Holy One also invites you to know Him more.
