Each week I get an amazing opportunity. I get to lead our congregation in song, declaring through music the greatness of God and beauty of the gospel. There is one song in particular that we sing and each and every time it blows me away. The song is “Behold Our God” put out by Sovereign Grace Ministries. If you haven’t had … Read More
Seeing Through a Gospel Lens
I was reminded again this week that it is so hard, maybe even truly impossible for us as humans and individuals to see, or understand anything that we come into contact with, from any other perspective than our own. I mean really when you think about it, how can we? Our perspective is how we define things. It has been … Read More
Ultimate Security
Did you ever see someone who has a false sense of security? Like the little child who hides under the covers thinking no can see him. Security is everything to us. We have special laws enacted to protect children, the elderly, women, minorities, even endangered animals. We have financial and economic checks and balances written in the law and government … Read More

The Heart of The Matter
I have the great privilege of being able to hang out and get to know the middle school and high school students on Wednesday nights. We play games, we sing some songs, and we get to spend time studying the Bible. Over the past couple weeks (give or take a week or two) we have been taking a look at … Read More
Good News for Sinners
Many of us go through life without comprehending the seriousness of our sins nor do we comprehend that God hates sin. Our understanding of sin becomes too subjective to our feeling and not the absolute rule of standard that God has declared in His Word. His Word makes it clear that all of us have sinned against God. Paul in … Read More
At – One – Ment
Wow, I am so thankful that our Head Shepherd (Jesus) stirred Lou’s heart and led him to do this series on the Atonement! Aren’t you? I have found myself over the last few weeks trying to focus on the different aspects of what God has done for us and the depths of what it cost Him to work our redemption … Read More
The Sovereign Hand of God
We have been studying the book of Acts for some time now. A couple weeks ago we looked at Acts chapter 12 (Listen/Watch HERE). In that chapter we just saw that the church in Antioch needed to see and realize that God is sovereign over life and death. God allowed James to be killed, and yet we saw God rescue Peter from … Read More
God Is Good
As the Music & Arts Pastor here at King’s Chapel I find myself listening to a lot of music. Whether its in preparation for a Sunday morning, or working at my desk on items not pertaining to music at all. A couple years ago I picked up an album by an artist named Dustin Kensrue called, “The Water & The … Read More
The Gospel is Good News
Paul S. Rees wrote: “The gospel is neither a discussion or a debate. It is an announcement.” As I consider these words I am reminded of the contrast that Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones drew about good news and advice, religion and the gospel. Good News vs Good Advice The difference between religion and the gospel is that every other religion sends … Read More
