It's almost over, can you feel it in the air? Almost an electricity as people wait expectantly for April to be over. They don't care what Denn will be preaching next week or the week after that they just know it won't be about Money. By the way next week I will be preaching on…
Just Stop It!
Litter bugs me? I just can't get my head around it, what possesses people to just throw their trash on the ground? This time of year seems to be the worse and Tim's cups seem to be the greatest offenders, but that might just be perception, after all, their spring cups are red and easier…
The Big Things
Last week I spoke about the little things, the minutia, the details. In that case it was the details that would have been involved in supporting Jesus and his disciples. And I looked at Luke 8:1-3.

A Tale of Two Jesus’ Part 2

A tale of two Jesus’
So this is where it would end, in front of a hostile crowd, nailed to a cross. He had of hoped for better and I'm sure his family had hoped for better. I don't know what his mother had envisioned for the little boy who played at her feet but I'm betting it wasn't this.…
He is Risen
Penn of DennTalk about a swing in emotions. I have been working on two separate messages this week, one for Good Friday and one for Easter Sunday. A message of despair and a message of hope. A message of defeat and a message of victory. A message about the depths that man can fall and…
Look Behind You
Penn of DennDid you hear the one about the man who was hit by the airplane, while he was jogging? True story. Robert Jones, of Georgia, was jogging along a beach in South Carolina, with his headphones on, when he was struck from behind and killed by a small aircraft, making an emergency landing. Seriously,…
