Dreams Work

My pastor, Jim Lyon at Madison Park Church of God, had a great sermon based on Genesis 37:18-20.

When a dream comes from God, it will prevail, despite our stumbling and balking.

Here are my notes.

Nehemiah Builds a Wall


I am working on children’s bulletins right now. This is an activity I just finished for the story of Nehemiah.

This part talks about the people rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem. The activity asks you to count the number of spears and bricks in the picture.

Counting “Kevin Spear” as one of the spears doesn’t count!

You can get the “My Very Own Bulletin” from Warner Press.

Hypocricy

Today, my pastor talked about the hypocrisy we can all be guilty of if we live purely by following a rule book and without grace. Sooner or later, we’re going to mess up. Then we pretend we are “living right” instead of admitting we fall short. Next thing you know, we’re judging others and looking down on them instead of admitting we’re just as bad.

So I’ll say it right now: I goof up. I fall short. There! That feels better!
