The Lesson of the Cucumber Tulip

I want to share a story with you that I heard this past Sunday. Actually, it was the ‘rest of the story’ that was shared after the service by our guest speaker, Bud. During the sermon, he told how he and his wife had stopped at a house while on a walk to check out a somewhat rare Cucumber Tulip tree. The owner of the tree eagerly talked about it and about his life, but it wasn’t until after chu ..More

God is Faithful
The book of Habakkuk is a four-chapter conversation between God and the prophet. Habakkuk had lots of questions for God. First, he couldn´t understand why God would use an evil empire to punish His people. Can you identify with Habakkuk? You may also struggle with God´s timing or ask what on earth He is doing. Yet Habakkuk provides a powerful lesson about God´s faithfulness and faith in our Creator.

The secular world view offers several options to cope with trouble: first, resign yourself to your fate with no hope for change; second, distract yourself with alcohol and drug abuse, promiscuity or an unhealthy quest for wealth; third, put on a false bravado, holding your chin up while you´re really falling apart internally.

Habakkuk chose to trust in the reliability of God. God calls us to act in faith and remember His character, believe His Word and trust the testimony of believers, including yourself. Just as you trusted God yesterday, you can trust Him today.

Did this story speak to you? Is God a part of your life? If God's not a part of your life, or you're not sure He is, you can make sure right now. We believe that God sent his son Jesus Christ to come to earth to live as a man. We believe that everyone has sinned and no one is perfect. We believe Jesus willingly went to the cross to die for all of us to forgive our sins.

We believe that the way to heaven is not through being a good person or through doing good deeds, but a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. You can have that today by praying this simple prayer: God, I've messed up and have sinned against you. Please forgive me. I need you in my life. I believe that Jesus died on the cross to take the punishment of my sins and that you forgive me of all of my sins because of what Jesus did. Lord, I ask now that you fill me with your spirit and help me to live a life for you. Amen.
