I am frustrated with today’s politics, so much so that I feel a bit politically homeless. I don’t fit in their camp and I don’t fit in their circle.

This week is one of my favorite weeks of the whole year. I love the holiday season and it all begins this week with Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving has the trifecta of holiday cheer…Family, Football & Food! Come on church! So, being the kind of pastor that likes to alliterate everything or use an acrosti…
That’s basically what we are saying if we say, “That’s impossible,” when it comes to a spiritual issue in our lives. We either believe that the power of Jesus can do anything or we don’t.

No, this is not some cruel Baptism prank, but an actual question. Are you willing to drown? Here is why I ask. One of my favorite Bible stories of all time is the story of Peter walking on the water.
