Gratitude

Sun, 25 Nov 2012 18:00:00 -0600

Gratitude is the barometer of faith. If I trust God, I can be thankful. If I simply trust myself, my talent, my ingenuity, my education, my hard work, there is no need or room for thankfulness.

The Lord's Supper

Sun, 18 Nov 2012 18:00:00 -0600

Some insights into communion taken from the story of the Passover in Exodus 12.

Baptism

Sun, 11 Nov 2012 18:00:00 -0600

Baptism is, in essence, a funeral. It is an act of faith in which we boldly proclaim, both to God and to the world, that the person we were before is dead and buried and we are raised as a new creation in Christ.

Church, A Final Thought

Sun, 04 Nov 2012 18:00:00 -0600

We should not be known for our music, our teaching, our environments, or our kids programs. We should be known for our humility, our brokenness, our passion for the poor, our acceptance of the outcast, our forgiving justice, our non-judgemental righteousness and our generosity to others.

Who Is The One?

Sun, 28 Oct 2012 18:00:00 -0500

You cannot make anybody have faith, but you can live your life with integrity and love and compassion and purpose so that God can use you for the beneift of another person

Where Is Your Allegiance

The Need For Help

Sun, 07 Oct 2012 18:00:00 -0500

Deep, honest, transparent, meaningful relationships with others who care enough to help us is the only healthy pathway to obedience to God, personal healing and wise decisions.

Live It

Thu, 04 Oct 2012 18:00:00 -0500

We live in a world that's tired of hearing our words. It doesn't mean we stop speaking. People need to SEE the difference that Jesus makes in our lives.

Fear of Foolishness

Sun, 23 Sep 2012 18:00:00 -0500

God is looking for people who are desperate enough to climb sycamore trees and attack giants with slingshots, willing to be undignified, to face the fear of foolishness.

Feed Yourself

Sun, 16 Sep 2012 18:00:00 -0500

In church culture, we often use the phrase, "I'm just not being fed," when talking about our intake of spiritual food. At some point, though, we have to ask ourselves the question, "What am I doing to feed myself?"

Speaker: Adam Reynolds

It Is Not About Sundays

Sun, 09 Sep 2012 18:00:00 -0500

We took something that God set aside as special and made the day into something it was never designed to be. Making "church" about a meeting and a location misses the heart of New Testament teaching.

The Neighborhood Church

Sun, 02 Sep 2012 18:00:00 -0500

The heart of a neighborhood church is one that cannot look past its immediate surroundings, a particular location, among a particular group of people, to engage and participate in the life of a local community.

Be The Church

Sun, 26 Aug 2012 18:00:00 -0500

Church is not a building or a meeting. It is a group of people who live life together, serve a fallen world together and grow deep in friendship and maturity together.

The Wise And Foolish Builders

Sun, 19 Aug 2012 18:00:00 -0500

Building on rock is tough work. It takes time and energy. It costs more. But it's secure, and it lasts. Building on sand is cheap and easy. It's faster. It looks good, but it will crack under pressure. Pay now or pay later.

I Never Knew You

Sun, 12 Aug 2012 18:00:00 -0500

God will not examine you by my definition and he will not examine me by yours. The important question is what does God say? How would God define one of his followers?

False Prophets

Sun, 05 Aug 2012 18:00:00 -0500

Are all bad churches and bad church leaders "false prophets?" No. But it would be wise to pay careful attention to the comon characteristics they share!

The Strait and Narrow

Sun, 29 Jul 2012 18:00:00 -0500

Why would Jesus call the entrance narrow and the road difficult if it wasn't? Why are we surprised when the demands of discipleship challenge our personal happiness?

Ask, Seek, Knock

Sun, 22 Jul 2012 18:00:00 -0500

Keep asking, seeking and knocking. Matthew 7:7-11

Adam Reynolds, Speaker

Dogs and Pigs

Sun, 15 Jul 2012 18:00:00 -0500

Beware of the dangers of sharing the holy things of Christ with people who are not willing to listen. A difficult lesson.

Do Not Judge

Sun, 08 Jul 2012 18:00:00 -0500

Judge or don't judge? Take the log out of your own eye, then you'll see clearly to take the speck out of someone else's eye.

Seek the Kingdom First

Sun, 01 Jul 2012 18:00:00 -0500

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:33

Stop Worrying

Sun, 24 Jun 2012 18:00:00 -0500

Will worrying accomplish anything positive whatsoever? Any good at all? Change anything for the better? Worry is simply unbelief in disguise.

The Bad Eye

Sun, 17 Jun 2012 18:00:00 -0500

The bad eye refers to an eye that connot see the beauty of grace. It cannot see the brightness of generosity. It is an eye that confuses earthly treasure and heavenly treasure.

Two Masters

Sun, 10 Jun 2012 18:00:00 -0500

Jesus states an impossibility: you cannot serve two masters; you cannot serve God and wealth. It cannot be done. He will not have it. The nature of the God that created us will not tolerate misplaced devotion.

Where Your Treasure Is

Sun, 03 Jun 2012 18:00:00 -0500

The stuff of earth competes for the allegiance I owe only to the giver of all good things.
