Did you remember to do THIS today? - What if God changed your life, yet you didn’t take a moment to thank him? In a time when many people move on quickly from answered prayers, this message challenges us to pause and truly recognize God's blessings. Through the lens of Luke 17 and the story of a Samaritan leper, we’re reminded that gratitude goes deeper than polite thanks; it’s about seeing God’s work, coming back to him, and honoring him with our lives. Are we living out this kind of thanks, or missing the chance to fully respond to his goodness?
What if complaining could bring us CLOSER to God? - We've all been there—stuck in a moment that feels unfair or annoying, from bad Wi-Fi to traffic jams to minor disappointments that stir up our grumbling. But could there be a problem with our problems? Jesus didn't sugarcoat life’s challenges. Yet he warns us against letting those frustrations transform into complaints. Complaining might be common, even justifiable, but Jesus shows us a way to approach frustration that brings us closer to God rather than pulling us away. Uncover how to swap grumbling for gratitude and see what it really means to “take heart” as Jesus said in John 16:33.

There’s a palpable moment when people first come to understand and apply the concepts that are being taught to them. The jaw-dropped-open moment is extremely rewarding to me. I enjoy many such moments with my congregation and students. I teach so that I might serve God's Kingdom and Church by helping others to obey the command to love the Lord our God with all of our minds through disciplined study.
A number of teachers have been a tremendous inspiration to me. I want to follow in the footsteps of the many teachers who have been an inspiration to me, including
I also remember some negative experiences that I have had as a student, warning me from becoming the kind of teacher whom I did not prefer - those who instilled fear, appeared arrogant, or were unreasonably unfair (I won't list them by name).
These examples have influenced my understanding of the best approaches to learning, and have shaped me into the teacher I am today.
