Favorite Verses
Some of them include the following:
Romans 5:1
“Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,”
Psalm 73:25
“Whom have I in heaven but you? And besides You, I desire nothing on earth.”
Romans 8:38-39
“For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
1 John 3:2
“Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is.”
Hobbies
I enjoy my time with family: going on hikes, camping and wrestling with the kids. I enjoy working out with friends and playing soccer.
Favorite Books
Apart from the Book of books (the Bible), I really like John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s progress, and Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners. Henry Matthew’s Commentary is one my favorite devotional commentaries.
A word about Maranatha Bible Church
When we first came to MBC in 2015, we immediately noticed, from the pulpit, a high view of God and His Word. In addition, we noticed an encouraging level of maturity among the believers, which has expressed itself in deep and edifying relationship. The pastoral tender care is an encouraging example of our dear Savior’s shepherding and loving heart.
