September 25, 2011 - 'Bullfrogs and Butterflies' - John 3:1-10 - Pastor Paul Preaching
The second in our series on the healthy missional markers of a church fouceses on a 'life transforming walk with Jesus.' How has our journey with Jesus, in big way and small ways changed who we are? How have we taken on a new identity as a follower of Jesus?
September 11, 2011 - 'A Persistent Kingdom' - Mark 4:26-32 - Pastor Paul Preaching
If Jesus made such bold promises of hope and a future, why is it that life seems so cruel at time? Did he live for nothing? Did he heal for nothing? Did he die for nothing? No, the good news of the resurrection is that in spirte of our trials, in spite of our suffering, in spite of our hurt, our failure, our persecution, our sin, and in spite of our death, God's kingdom contunues. Jesus Christ continues.
September 4, 2011 - 'The Rule Of Christ' - Matthew 18:15-20 - Pastor Paul Preaching
Conflict and the need for reconciliation is unavoibale, but when we come to the table of grace together, we are bound together with unbreakable chords. Christ's body is broken so that we can be made whole.
July 31, 2011 - 'Free Food!' - Matthew 14:13-21 - Pastor Paul Preaching
What do you crave? what do you long to hear from God? How do we see and sense and know God’s working in our lives and in our world? The good news is this - that even when God seems distant, even when things seem difficult, even when our spirits feel empty or dry, God is there God is there longing to commune with us to be with us, to show us the way. God is there in the longing for deep and true community and connection. God is there in our efforts to know and understand deeply the mysteries of God and the world God made. God is there prompting and pushing us to what is right, what is good, what is pure.
June 26, 2011 - 'Us, Them, and We' - Matthew 10:40-42 - Pastor Paul Preaching
So much of the way we relate to others - including within a church - is “us and them." The challenge for today is to move to a place of "we." To look around us, to think about who we see and do not see and ask, how can I make space for this person? How can we grow together, learn together, become more Christ-like together? What are ways that I am expecting this person to become like me instead of me making space for someone like them?
June 19, 2011 - 'Dogma, Doctrine, and Discipleship' - Genesis 1:1-2:4a - Pastor Paul Preaching
At the very heart of the doctrine of the Trinity is an image for us of what it means to be in relationship with God and in relationship with each other. It is to share and be empowered and to live in peace, and it is to be so filled with love and life that you cannot help but share it with each other!
