Faith Focus - The Blue Church

Pastor Rob Ladonne,

“God is the author of life so it is no surprise that much of life prompts us to think about Him. In the writings below you will find references to every day experiences that have brought my faith into focus. I hope these writings encourage

you to have a deeper faith in God.”

For His Name’s Sake

Posted on Oct 1, 2023 in Faith Focus |

If you are a believer in Jesus, then I have a question for you …

Why did Jesus save you?

And if your response is, “Because He loved me” or “Because He wanted me to be in heaven”, you would be partially right.

Final Words

Often, when one is approaching the end of their life, they think of what they want to accomplish before they die. For some, they may want to set the record straight about something.

Searching for Comfort, and Finding It in Praise

Posted on Aug 1, 2023 in Faith Focus |

One day, I really needed comfort from God. So, I went into my devotional time with the hope that God would meet my need by focusing me on some hope-filled verses.

Would the Guilty Parties Please Rise?

With the political fervor that currently surrounds the Republican and Democratic nominations for President of the United States, it is not uncommon to hear folks giving their own “State of the Nation” address.

A Change Of Focus

If you are not a hoarder, then you likely go through your closet every so often and pull-out clothing or shoes that have worn out. And of course, this makes sense, because such things lose their color, fray, deform, and wither with time.

Can We Really Do All Things?

Posted on May 1, 2023 in Faith Focus |

I can do all things through him who strengthens me (Philippians 4:13 ESV).

I love that verse. But when I was young in the faith, it caused me to wonder if I could really do all things through Christ’s strength.

“Jesus’ Special Name”

Posted on Apr 1, 2023 in Faith Focus |

In Philippians 2:9 we read that God (The Father) highly exalted Jesus and bestowed on Him “the name that is above every name”.

Have you ever wondered why we bury people in the ground? Well, there are lots of answers out there such as:

• To show respect for the dead
• To prevent odor and decay
• To give families closure
• To help the deceased enter the afterlife
• To give back to the cycle of life.

Church Signs

Posted on Feb 1, 2023 in Faith Focus |

Recently our church approved the purchase of new signs, with the hope that they will help us share more about who we are as a body of believers. If things go well, many of those passing by will come to understand that we are a “Christ-centered”, “Bible based” church whose long-standing desire has been to help missionaries share the gospel.
