“REVIVE: to return to consciousness or life; to become active or flourishing again.” 

All things in life from time to time go through periods of stagnation, dryness, and lifelessness, where we “go through the motions” of work and living, but lack energy, passion, and meaning. In those times, for life to continue and thrive, we must experience revival.




Join me September 3-October 1 as we share in a new worship series called “REVIVE” in which we’ll be using the story of Israel’s exodus from Egypt to remind us of lessons about what it takes to experience personal and corporate revival, and for us all (like the Israelites eventually did) to find and live in our own “promised land.”

September 3 – “There’s A Burning Bush Near You” (Exodus 3:1-12)
        Experiencing revival by answering God’s call(s)

September 10 – “Cloud and Fire” (Exodus 13:20-22)
        Experiencing revival by trusting God’s protection

September 17 – “Manna and Water” (Exodus 16:2, 11-15 & 17:1 & 6-7)
        Experiencing revival by claiming God’s provision

September 24 – “Following God’s Directions” (Exodus 20:1-17)
        Experiencing revival by allowing God to guide and lead us

October 1 – “Remember” (Exodus 12:1-14)
        Experiencing revival by remembering God’s presence in all situations 
        and circumstances

Remember that God loves you and I do, too!

How to Live "The Great Life"


What are the essentials of a “great life” with God?  And how do we go about practicing them?   When Jesus was asked these questions, he didn’t share a statement of faith to sign, or give an elaborate set of rationale propositions to adhere to.  

Instead, he simply gave two commands for us to follow. 1700 years later, the founder of Methodist Christianity, John Wesley, expressed these commands as three simple guides that have remained at the heart of the living and practice of faith ever since then.  

During the first three weeks of August, join myself and your fellow Cornerstone UMC family in this 3-part series as together we explore what it takes to experience THE GREAT LIFE with God.

         August 6 – Do No Harm  (Matthew 22:34-40; Romans 13:9-10)

         August 13 – Do Good (Luke 10:25-37)

         August 20 – Stay In Love With God (Matthew 22:34-40; Col.2:6-7)

 Remember that God loves you and I do, as well!
