Dear Church Family, We want to share with you an important decision regarding the future direction of our church. After much prayer, study of Scripture, and careful discussion, the congregation of Albion First Baptist Church voted to withdraw our affiliation from American Baptist Churches USA (ABCUSA) and American Baptist Churches […]

This past weekend’s message was about Jude, 5. That’s verse 5 in Jude. Jude is a short little book, only 25 verses, 1 chapter. So when we reference it we only say the book, and the verse. Jude writes “Now I want to remind you, although you once fully knew […]
This past weekend I saw a headline that Bill and Melinda Gates were divorcing. I’ll admit, my first thought was “wow….ok?”. Let’s be honest. We may resent them because they tend to be part of a celebrity culture that likes to tell others what to do. Their foundation has been […]
I woke up this morning to a covering of snow on the ground. After running the snowblower over the driveway, and sidewalks, I got in the car to come to the office. I drive an older Jeep Cherokee, and having just bought it in the past few weeks, I wasn’t […]
Psalm 118:1 “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.” That is the theme running through my mind right now. Give thanks to the Lord. It’s been an interesting few weeks. Things have been a bit hectic, a bit on hold, a bit unknown. But […]

Scope Creep Thinking back to this past weekend’s message, one example that I gave during the message was the idea of “Scope Creep”. In my time working in the IT industry, we would often see what was known as “Scope Creep”. It’s an interesting phenomenon. It’s when a product owner […]
What is Fellowship? Fellowship is something we all crave. We all desire human contact. We all have a basic need to be connected to others. It’s why Facebook has 2.45 BILLION monthly users. That’s BILLION, with a “B”. On a daily basis, approximately 1.6 BILLION people log on to the site. So…why […]
As I stepped outside this morning I immediately noticed the warm air, and the cloudless sky. I had to squint a bit in the bright sun. I found myself thinking as I got out of my truck at the office that it was warm today. Almost hot. And my first […]
