Lesson 5: From Complaints to Apotasy
Somehow we need to not allow our feelings to control us because it is a slippery slope.
Somehow we need to reassess our expectations of what God’s plan is so that we don’t become disappointed when he doesn’t give us a Ferrari.
Lesson 4: In Remembrance
This week we studied about Passover and the Lord’s Supper or what we often call, Communion. What’s the first thing you think about when you hear the word “Communion”? Unfortunately, some begin thinking, “Oh, we need to go to a different church this week because there is Communion.” After talking to an elder, I found [...]
Lesson 2: Preparing a People
Some day I’d like to return Madrid, Spain. I really would. But right now, right now it’s no where in sight. So, I’m not making any plans. I’m not scoping out ticket prices. I’m not figuring out where I’m going to stay. No bags are being packed. I wonder if this lesson resonates with the [...]

But amidst all the pain this past week, my dear loving brother brought me what some call “a girl’s best friend.” No, not diamonds. Chocolate!
I thanked him (Isn’t that what [...]

I heard about the Saturday night church through some friends back home, and penciled it in for [...]
Mission: Guayaramerin
Two months ago 11 of us found ourselves en route to Guayaramerin, Bolivia. Today I’m wondering what’s faded only to remain in the hundreds of digital snaps we captured, and what’s stuck within and amidst those of us who shared this experience. “My Bolivian Treasure” was the title of the Sabbath morning message I shared [...]
Lesson 1: A New Order - A Different God?
The story of the God of Israel picking up a group of slaves and turning them into a nation depicts the story of redemption of mankind and hence forms the backbone for the rest of the scripture. Nothing explains the power and patience of God and the weakness of humanity better than the story of [...]
