Merry Christmas!

December 25, 2024December 23, 2024

Merry Christmas! The day that we celebrate all year, really, is finally here on the calendar. But may we never lose sight the fact that HE is the only way to salvation. No worldly thing that captures our attention or hearts, will ever satisfy. May the truth of THIS Truth, reign and reflect in our hearts the other 364 days of the year.

What a humbling gift that God would choose us. That we have no reason to ever be troubled because for it is certain – in Him we have life (John 10:10). May we celebrate that life today and always!

Merry Christmas from the Sterks!

Many have asked us what changes we have felt or how we feel things are different here in Minnesota vs. Michigan. Explaining the differences we find are difficult because we are in such a different place in our life….

Over the past few months we have been studying Philippians in our Bible Study. The type of study we are doing, encourages us to dig really deep into the passage, which has helped me gain a better understanding of what Paul is saying in this book. Paul was in prison while he wrote the book…

There is no question that winter has arrived here in Michigan! We had our first snow day and since then, we have been making the most of the fluffy white stuff as you’ll see… We started the week with a little family night at the bowling alley! I realized this is the first time we…
