The Mystery of Christ (Ephesians 3:1-9)

Good morning church, Do you love a good mystery? When I was young, I used to read the Hardy Boys, a series of stories about two brothers who used to solve cases adults could not (and Nancy Drew, their female counterpart). The books captivated you, and drew you in because you were emotionally involved in finding out the solution to the puzzle.

Brought near (Ephesians 2:11-22 NIV)

Hello Saints of the Living God! Excluded! What a horrible word. Brings back all kinds of memories of not being welcomed into a peer group; not chosen to play on the team I really wanted to be on (cause that’s where the cool people were); not good enough to play lead trumpet in the band; not old enough to drive and vote; now, too old to get

The Biggest “But” Ever (Eph. 2:1-6)

One tiny three letter word. That’s all it takes to turn a whole story around. “But” – a conjunction used to introduce a contrasting sentence or paragraph to what has just been stated. What a contrast!  The Before: I was dead in my sins; a dead man walking with no real life; trying to find life in cars, motorcycles,

A reason to celebrate and pray – Ephesians 1:15-19

Hello Chosen ones, Paul had a brief visit in Ephesus along with the power couple, Priscilla and Aquila. On this visit he went into the synagogue and preached the gospel to the Jews. They were really impressed by his teaching and wanted him to stay, but he had a commitment in Jerusalem he could not break (Acts 18:18-21). The ministry at Ephesus

Mom’s the word! Proverbs 31

Hello Saints, Proverbs 31, famous for its description of a godly wife, begins with the influence of a godly mother (vs. 1-9). For some 30 chapters we have been hearing advice from a father to a son. Now we hear a mother warn her son. Wisdom is for both genders, not reserved for male leaders only. Actually, a woman gets the last word on the issue

Proverbs 30:10-33 – what are we looking at?

Hello Saints, We are in interesting times! Are you looking at the signs? Are you paying attention to what is happening in the world? To me, the remainder of Proverbs 30 describes a man, anyone really, who is observing life around him, and finding parallels and correlations. He looks at the arrogant and proud, the injustices in life, the chaos

Matsa Moments - Pastor Mike

Matsa Moments - Pastor Mike


The Hebrew word “Matsa” means to: find, meet, discover, encounter. It is used in Deuteronomy 4:29 where the Lord says, "But from there you will seek the LORD your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.” Throughout Scripture, there is an invitation from God to find Him; He actually rewards those who diligently seek Him (Heb. 11:6). To see God we must be looking for Him.

This blog is a journal of finding God - discovering who He is; learning more about His character and attributes, as I encounter Him in in His Word and world around me. These posts are theological reflections emerging out of a desire to understand how the Creator interacts with us, His creatures. Hopefully, through these you will see how the Ever-present Holy One also invites you to know Him more.
