May 12, 2022 11:00 - 3 minutes - 7.33 MBLast week I was listening to a Weekly devotion by my friend Mark Ogren.

Keep The Faith
May 07, 2022 11:00 - 4 minutes - 8.11 MBA dear friend who is unashamedly our daughter’s second mother posted the following: Someone graduated at the age of 22, but waited 5 years before securing a good job. Someone became a CEO at 25, and died at 50, while another person became a CEO at 50 and lived to be 90. Someone is still single, while someone she graduated with in HS has become a grandmother. Obama retired from politics at 55 and Trump entered politics at 70. Everyone in this world works based on their own time zone. Peo...

God Is Always At Work
May 05, 2022 11:00 - 4 minutes - 9.13 MBA clergy friend and colleague, who happens to be one of the most upbeat and caring souls I have ever encountered, posted the following: It was crisp and cool and lovely on my Wednesday morning run. I felt sluggish because I didn’t sleep well- But I ran anyway. While I was running I got off the trail at one point. I couldn’t see which way to go. I was feeling frustrated, because I couldn’t focus on running or breathing, or anything really …. And the way was not clear.

Horseshoe Living
May 03, 2022 11:00 - 5 minutes - 9.79 MBTrusting God At All Times Daily Devotional. ‘You know how every time you buy a car all at once you start to notice how many other people seem to have the same car? Weird, isn’t it!? Or, how about those times you remember a song you haven’t heard in awhile - maybe haven’t heard in several years - and then a few days later you hear it on the radio? That’s weird, too. Maybe it's because we have recently bought a horse farm, but I’m starting to make horse farm associations and I have determin...

Don't Look Away
April 30, 2022 11:00 - 4 minutes - 8.51 MBTrusting God At All Times Daily Devotional. It was Mr. Rogers who said, “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’” That is good advice and one of the things that draws people to a healthy church is its ministry to the scary things in its community and throughout the world. In our community here in Lynchburg, those scary things include food scarcity, homelessness, and poverty.
Stop
April 29, 2022 11:00 - 1 minute - 3.34 MBTrusting God At All Times Daily Devotional. Today's devotion comes from Andrew... at least to begin with, but instead of our normal devotion Andrew has an invitation for you, and we encourage you to take it.
Spring - And Love Is In The Air!
April 28, 2022 11:00 - 4 minutes - 7.98 MBTrusting God At All Times Daily Devotional. Have you ever heard that spring is the season for love? You know - spring is here and love is in the air? I don’t know, maybe there is some truth to that. One of my best friends just told me his daughter is getting married. Maybe it was spring? Flowers are blooming, bees are buzzing, birds are building nests - is that where the whole “Birds and bees thing” comes in? Spring is here and love is in the air. According to people to study such things...

Mind Your Business
April 26, 2022 11:00 - 4 minutes - 7.9 MBDon’t you wish people would just mind their business, sometimes? I have a new friend. A good man who is helping me learn the ins and outs of running a farm. I like him. I anticipate we will have a deep and long lasting friendship. But… sometimes I wish he would keep an opinion or 2 to himself. Especially when it comes to some of the details about how we intend to run our family farm.
Music Monday: Pass Me Not
April 25, 2022 11:00 - 5 minutes - 10.4 MBTrusting God At All Times Daily Devotional. I love running water. One of my favorite things to do is to grab my camera and shoot background footage for the church. Invariably I will end up near a body of water, typically a creek or very small river and I just can’t resist the urge to hike along the bank until I find a spot I can set up my camera and film that spot of running water. There’s just something about the water splashing over rocks, or tree limbs - sometimes fallen flowers - any numb...

God Reigns!
April 23, 2022 11:00 - 4 minutes - 8.55 MBTrusting God At All Times Daily Devotional. I discovered a book a couple of years ago that actually has been around for 20 years. Written by Episcopal priest Fleming Rutledge who is from Franklin VA, "The Undoing of Death," has become a powerful read for me as I reflect on the consequences of Easter. I think she is correct when she says the human spirit. left on its own will not do well. But the person who depends on God's spirit, that Holy Spirit of the Bible will prosper.
Are You A Mess?
April 21, 2022 11:00 - 6 minutes - 11.4 MBTrusting God At All Times Daily Devotional. Are you a mess at times? I don’t mean getting up with bed hair or needing a shave. I’m not referring to the state of the cleanliness of your house. I’m talking about YOU, your inner workings, the health of your spirit, your soul. Are you a mess at times? I hope so. And I mean that in the best of ways.

It Ain't Over
April 19, 2022 11:00 - 4 minutes - 8.31 MBTrusting God At All Times Daily Devotional. A woman I literally went to school with for 12 straight years posted the following traditional perspective about a fine detail of the Easter Story. I honestly do’;t know if all the references to Hebrew tradition are correct but I hope they are and I know the conclusion of the story is true so I commend iit to you. Why Did Jesus Fold the Napkin?

2022 Holy Week - Wednesday
April 13, 2022 11:00 - 4 minutes - 8.6 MBTrusting God At All Times Daily Devotional. This week before Easter, this Holy Week I am offering some thoughts about the last days of Jesus prior to the Day of Resurrection.

April 12, 2022 11:00 - 5 minutes - 11.1 MBTrusting God At All Times Daily Devotional. Today, Tuesday we consider an ancient mystery – the cursing of the fig tree.
2022 Holy Week - Monday
April 11, 2022 11:00 - 4 minutes - 9.25 MBTrusting God At All Times Daily Devotional. Usually, there are 3 and occasionally 4 different voices each week providing these daily devotions: Me, Andrew, David, and then Kim, or Linwood’s daughter-in-law or another guest contributor.but, on this special week before Easter, this Holy Week I would like to share some thoughts each day with the hope that we can move together to a special celebration of Easter on Sunday. Each day will involve scripture, some comments by me and a concluding pray...

Does It Matter?
April 09, 2022 11:00 - 5 minutes - 10.2 MBTrusting God At All Times Daily Devotional. As Easter approaches I’d like to ask you something. Does it matter? In a way, the resurrection is in our hands now. Unless we make it lively and meaningful - unless it matters - resurrection is no more than a doctrinal belief of one of the world’s major religions. What do those Christians believe? They believe in Jesus Christ and the resurrection. But, does it matter?
The Kingdom of God is Like a Tomato

Let Love Linger
April 07, 2022 11:00 - 3 minutes - 6.16 MBTrusting God At All Times Daily Devotional. As Easter approaches I find both I and my friends and colleagues with whom I share ministry here at Church start having thoughts and feelings about death. It will be Holy Week in just a few days and that, I’m sure is part of it. We follow Jesus into Jerusalem where he will be arrested, tried, tortured and killed. When ministry people speak of the Living Christ Jesus ,we speak of a living relationship. Death must be confronted before resurrection can...
Wesley Wednesday: Lent 6, The Way of Love
April 06, 2022 11:00 - 5 minutes - 10.5 MBTrusting God At All Times Daily Devotional
One Word
April 05, 2022 11:00 - 4 minutes - 8 MBTrusting God At All Times Daily Devotional. It was just a word. Some things have just always been important to me. Saying Thank you is a big deal. I think calling people my parents' age “Mr” “Mrs” Miss and even the non specific MS is a sign of respect. I have always been overly sentimental. I can keep a Christmas card for years if I have an emotional attachment to the sender. I have a small collection of race and race winner hat-poins of every nascar race my son and attended together. I’...
First Peakland Meeting On Where We Are Headed MASTER

Don't Give Up
April 04, 2022 11:00 - 3 minutes - 6.95 MBTrusting God At All Times Daily Devotional. As the story goes… an old farmer went to church one night where there was a revival going on. He was not known as much of a church goer and the next day, as he and his friends gathered at the grain store, he was asked about the experience. Well, he said, “There was a lot of hoopin’ and hollerin’” What else? “There was a lot of singing. What else? “Well there was this preacher and he went on for a long time.” What did he preach about? “Sin.” What d...

Be A Loser
April 02, 2022 11:00 - 3 minutes - 5.74 MBTrusting God At All Times Daily Devotional. Someone once said we get what we want 3 ways: thinking - working - and praying. Thinking is the world of ideas, the world of the mind. It's like the old automobile commercial where the light bulb comes on and a voice says, "Ford has a better idea." It is the world of creativity, the place where projects are born and the first steps of creation are taken.

Ban That Book
March 31, 2022 11:00 - 4 minutes - 9.22 MBTrusting God At All Times Daily Devotional. Banned any good books lately? That issue seems to rear its ugly head every so often and it is rearing right now. Family groups are trying to get school systems to ban books from local libraries. Not liking the language (try reading Huck Finn out loud) or fearful that their value systems are being attacked by ideas that are contrary to their comfort level…

Scary
March 29, 2022 11:00 - 4 minutes - 8.28 MBTrusting God At All Times Daily Devotional. Last Wednesday was a “scary” day! When my dentist said we needed to pull a tooth, I knew it would not be fun.
What Is Church?
March 28, 2022 11:00 - 4 minutes - 7.7 MBTrusting God At All Times Daily Devotional. Do you remember the children’s song, “We are the Church”? I am the church. You are the church We are the church together All God’s people ALl around the world Yes! We’re the church together Maybe you remember the hand motions that go along with it? Do you remember that game we used to play…. (Here’s the church. Here’s the steeple….) I have a personal library full of seminary books, Bible commentaries and Bible dictionaries. I have recordi...

Love Regardless
March 26, 2022 11:00 - 5 minutes - 10.3 MBTrusting God At All Times Daily Devotional. Do not let the sun go down on your anger.” That’s what the Bible says. (Ephesians 4: 26) When I first heard that, being new to the Christan faith and having not yet read the passage, I thought it was a referee to Jesus himself, Do not let the son - the son of God, Jesus - don’t let anger push him out of your life. Don’t let the sun go down on your anger. Some people read that quite literally. Deal with anger before the sun goes down. I can ...
