Wedding Week Memories

Today is my 14th Anniversary! So, I thought I would share some memories from our wedding week 14 years ago.
  • Talking in hotel parking lot to my soon to be bride after the rehearsal dinner
  • Seeing my beautiful bride walk down the aisle
  • Discovering a large hole in back of my tux coat.  I'm thankful for Denice Julian sewing it together for me.  
  • Guests being evacuated to the church basement because of a tornado
  • Great decorations in the sanctuary and gym by Shirley & Bethany
  • Not eating anything but cake at the reception. For those that know me, that is amazing.
  • Eating at our favorite restaurant, Carlos O'Kelleys before leaving town
  • Almost losing my wedding ring down the drain the first night in the shower when trying to get bird seed out of my hair
  • Spending a week in Myrtle Beach, SC for our honeymoon
  • Bethany getting sunburned on our first day after a long walk along beach and city
  • Eating at some great restaurants & doing fun activities
  • Staying at a great bed & breakfast near the beach
  • Blue's Clues, Deep Impact, Water Park
  • Opening gifts at my parent's house after the honeymoon
  • A great day with family and friends.
 I hope to share some great experiences from the last 14 years tomorrow!


Happy Anniversary, Bethany!

    Happy Anniversary to the Martin's. It is hard to believe that you two have been married 14 years. What a beautiful couple. It seems like a year ago. Very proud of the husband and father you have become J.L.
    Love you. Denice Julian

Sermon Notes-"Transitional Thoughts"

Introduction: As I was thinking and praying about what to share during my final sermon on staff, I began to think of the transition that I am making as well as the church.   We as pastors have been consistently focused on three priorities over the last several years: prayer, worship and equip.   So, even though I may no longer be on staff in a few weeks at this church, as a member of this church I believe just as strongly that Hesston MB needs to continue to be about these priorities in the days ahead.   However, the more I prayed about it, the more I realized that to get to these priorities, we as a church also had to make some transitions so that is why I am entitling this message “Transitional Thoughts”.   Transition is defined as “the process or an instance of changing from one form, state, activity, or place to another.” Educate to Equip- Ephesians 4:11-16 ·          What is the difference?   o    To educate the focus is information; to equip the focus is transformation o

Sermon Notes "Plans" based on Acts 10:24-48

Introduction: I would like you to think about the word “plans”. Write down on your bulletin some plans you have for: this week, summer, your future, etc.   I am a planner so I love to know what is going to happen.   Yet we also need to keep in mind a Scripture from Proverbs 19:21 “Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.” We are going to see from the story of Peter and Cornelius, two great leaders who had plans yet God had a different plan and purpose for them and for others. Prepared- vs. 24-29 ·          Vs. 23-24-Peter and Cornelius have visions (10:1-23) o    Peter is told not to call common what God has made clean (15). As Peter is trying to figure out what it means, some men come and find him. o    Cornelius is told to call for a man named Peter and is given his location and he sends his servants to find him. o    Peter makes preparations and goes to Caesarea, Cornelius gets ready for his guests and invites his close fr
