So, it’s day 9 of my fast and it’s harder than I thought it was going to be.  Not eating any food has taught me a few things (once again).  The hunger pangs have subsided, but my flesh is strong!  Here’s three things I am learning 9 days into my fast:
1. I have more time [...]

I’m not hungry.  I don’t crave all the things I love like pizza, carne asada, and a juicy piece of fruit.  I’m good…I really am.  I have been sleeping great, have mental clarity (does that mean I’m normally foggy?), and feel good.   Our church’s 21-day Daniel Fast has been going great!
I’m growing.  I’m growing hungry.  [...]

As I’m reading through the committment cards of people doing the Daniel Fast we started this week, I’m encouraged greatly by people’s desire to sacrifice something for God!  Some are fasting from food, others from meat, others from certain kinds of foods and drinks!  Others are fasting from activities like computer time, reading novels, and [...]

Our church (Emmaus) is doing a 21-day Daniel Fast.  A Daniel Fast finds it’s origins in the Biblical book of Daniel when David and his friends participated in a few different kinds of fasts.  Ultimately, the idea is to remove some habitual food or activity from  your life and replace it with some spiritual discipline [...]

September is one of the craziest months for a pastor.  New programs, groups, sermon series’, and a whole lot more make for long hours and extra effort during the fall.  But as I was driving down the road recently, God reminded me that whatever I thought was really important could only be done by him.  [...]

When I was younger, people always told me that God would use me.  I’ve always doubted God.  He’s never been that real to me.  But now I understand that God reveals Himself through people and circumstances.  What’s even more strange is that God reveals who he to me is when I’m serving someone.  You guys always talk [...]

Emmaus Church has been the best thing that has happened to me. The environment is warm, inviting and comforting. I feel a sense of belonging when I walk through the doors. Before I started coming to Emmaus I was in a rough spot. I lost myself and in that lostness I was losing the people I loved the [...]

God is Awesome… After yesterday I just felt a difference in where we are going and I know God has his hand on each of us!  I’m so excited for the things he is doing in all of us and the journey he has us all on.  What a blessing!  God is good, all the [...]

Ok, so, I know I haven’t blogged in awhile.  We had problems with our last website, but we’ve got the kinks worked out with this new one.  It’s a brand new cyber day and here we are! 
September is my favorite time of year because I love the cooler weather, football begins, hockey begins, the kids [...]

Community Groups are now forming!  Getting to know people and enjoying life together is what church is all about!  We have at least three groups forming that will be a blast!  Check out our “community groups” page under the connect tab to see how a group might work for you!
