Is Your Axe Dull?

In our Wednesday evening teen class, we are studying a series of lessons designed to instill biblically-based leadership traits in our teens. We hope to plant a seed in each teen’s heart that will help them recognize that anyone can be a leader, whether it be at...

Highlights

Riverchase has been my home church since 1979, and although I went off to college for much longer than I should have, I still considered this place... home. Although I got married and moved to Atlanta for several years, we couldn’t wait to get closer to home to raise...

Build Sandcastles

People ask me often, “Scott, what do you do for fun?” I love building sandcastles. This past week, my family and I got to slip away for a few days for a vacation at the beach. As I began the building process, many comments and puzzled eyes were buzzing around me. I...

Good Fruit

What is your favorite fruit? Why is that one your favorite? Yesterday, for Memorial Day, my family spent some time at my parents’ house swimming, eating, relaxing, and thanking God for all the military who have served our country and given their life to protecting our...

Recognition

Today is a big day at Whitney’s school. All the teachers are putting on a drive-thru parade for all the children. They will certainly adhere to the CDC guidelines, but the issue that the teachers were having was that the “children would not be able to recognize their...

Recipe of Awesomeness

The other night, we dusted off the container of heaven and made what I love more than anything on this earth (other than my wife and family)...homemade ice cream. The only problem was that Whitney sent me to the grocery store, recipe in hand, to find all the...

Summer Awaits

Thank you so much for your patience as we navigate unchartered waters in regards to upcoming Summer events in the midst of the Covid-19 Pandemic. I have been in discussion with Maywood Camp, and they remain in a waiting period until Governor Ivey addresses the state...

Choice-Points

Are your kids getting tired of you? Are you getting tired of your kids? What’s for lunch? What’s for dinner? What are we doing today, tomorrow, the next day? Will you please let me sleep ten more minutes? Answer: It is noon, get up! Those questions hit you before you...

Transition

2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. (Rom. 12:2 NIV) 10 For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. (Eph. 2:10 NIV) 28 "Come to me, all you...

Take Root

5 "I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. (John 15:5 NIV) What does it mean to remain? To abide, to wait for, await one. John 15:5 has been a special verse to me for years, and...

Emergency Numbers

12 Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. 13 Relent, O LORD! How long will it be? Have compassion on your servants. 14 Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days. 15 Make us...

Challenge

Challenge: A call to take place in a contest or competition. As we all have been deeply impacted by everything involved with Covid-19, I would like to challenge us all to participate in a church-wide challenge. Here it is for this week. Write an encouraging note to a...

Community

My niece, Paris Harrell, lives in North Carolina and is a second-grade teacher at a school with a high number of immigrant families and low income. They are shut down with the rest of the world due to Covid-19. Seven of her friends reached out to her with one...

Are You a People Person?

Scott Pruitt 15 He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. (Mark 16:15 NIV) Did you ever wonder how much you would miss family and friends when you couldn’t see them every day or at least each week? Have you even noticed how many...

Rainbow Omega

The teens look forward to visiting the residents of Rainbow Omega this Saturday, March 7. We will be delivering care baskets full of goodies for all of them. Rainbow Omega is one of the most special places on the planet. Have you ever been a part of something that you...

How are you?

As I write that question, my mind is flooded with so many people who will receive this question with a plethora of responses. How are you? Some of us are overwhelmed with stress from work, school, or relationships. Others have found contentment as they grind through...

Greetings

My name is Jesus David Dorantes. My mom and dad gave me this name because they always wanted me to remember whom I represent. Sometimes I do well. Sometimes I don’t. Frustration sets in for everyone from time to time when we “do what we don’t want to do, and what we...

Changes

Can you feel the hint that Fall is on the way? I know, I know...it is only a temporary glimpse of what is approaching, but the cooler temperatures in the morning certainly are a relief from the smoldering summer heat. Two leaves on my ’October Glory’ Red Maple even...
