The Secret to a Highly Productive Day
What side of the bed did you wake up on? Mornings are really important to me, so I guess you could say that even if I don’t wake up on the right side of the bed…I get there as soon as possible. I choose to start off the morning well because I have learned that it has a great impact...

The Comfort of God is the Strength of His People (Isaiah 40 & 41)
In the wake of the Paris tragedy the world is looking for hope. The only hope that will last the test of time and the loss of life is the hope that comes from God Himself. In this message, Josh takes us through the comfort of God promised to His people in Isaiah 40 and 41. Though God sees the pain...
Engage in the Fight Against Human Trafficking
There are hundreds of causes that we can engage with on a daily basis. While they are all important, few deal with human dignity and the preservation of the image of God like the fight against human trafficking. Statistics tells that every 30 seconds another human is a victim of human trafficking (that means that 2 people have become victims just...
Honest to God (Sermon)
In this message I share the 6 roadblocks to why we are not honest with God. I believe that if we were totally transparent with God we would experience greater levels of transformation. My college professor once said, "Honesty is not an end in itself, but a means to our own transformation." In this sermon I shared various biblical...
Can I Complain to God?
“You clothed me with skin and flesh, and knit me together with bones and sinews. You have granted me life and steadfast love, and Your care has preserved my spirit.” Job 10:11–12 It’s amazing how my head can know one thing, yet my heart can feel totally different. It’s almost a case of spiritual insanity as I shift back and forth...
God Listens to Those Who Love [sermon]
Sermon on 1 John 3:19-24 We are told to love others, but that doesn’t always come naturally. However, if we understand that God has the ability to rewire us to love genuinely, we will look for opportunities to be kind to others. The benefit for loving others is a deeper connection with Christ and true confidence in His will for our...
The Building Blocks of a Biblical Life
http://traffic.libsyn.com/joshweidmann/Josh-Weidmann-2015.06.21-For-All-Its-Worth.mp3 Finding the heart of God requires dedication to study the Bible. Let’s face it, sometimes, the Bible is difficult to understand. If we diligently observe, interpret, and apply the Scriptures, we can experience transformation that goes beyond just gaining information it gives us the tools to live a Biblical life. In this message I address the three necessary building...
What Does It Mean to Live a Holy Life?
As an experiment, the great scientist Isaac Newton stared at the image of the Sun reflected in a mirror. The brightness burned into his retina, and he suffered temporary blindness. Even after he hid for three days behind closed shutters, still the bright spot would not fade from his vision. He said - "I used all means to divert...
Do Angels Really Exist?
Timidly she approached me after all the other youth had emptied the room. Her question was nothing to be embarrassed of, yet she still hesitated asking it. She slowly muttered, "My friends tell me that angels are not real… that they only exist in movies n’ stuff." Then, in a sort of whisper so no one would hear her,...
5 Reasons Why God May Be Silent
Not long ago, my friend Steve asked when was the last time I experienced God’s silence. I told him that I have had many notable times in my life when God was not speaking. Looking back, I can explain the reason--the best I understand it--for each one of those seasons. I told Steve about my transition to become the senior...
This Could Be Your Greatest Year Yet
I've always considered a new year as a fresh start. A time to right what I did wrong and place something new where something needs to be replaced. For mosts of my adult years (if not also in my elementary ones) I've made a list of my hopes and dreams for the next twelve months. It has been my...
