“In the beginning anger feels light. In the beginning it gives us energy. In the beginning it directs us somewhere; it brings life to us; it gets our body all shivery and tingly and gears us up and the adrenaline starts flowing and the fight or flight kicks in. Sometimes feeling angry feels good. But if we stay there and we try to carry it too far and too long, it’s starts to get heavy.” ~ Pastor Jeremy Scott

Midweek Podcast! Doing nothing is not doing something.

“We can’t fix everything that’s going on, even in our own lives. Even with just our little circle of people around us, let alone what’s going on in our community or what’s going on in our state. But what we can do, if we’re willing to act with intention, we can bring blessing to those whom God needs us to. We can look around and ask ourselves, what is the something that God is asking me to do.” ~Pastor Jeremy Scott

Listen to our midweek podcast as Pastor Jeremy talks more about this week’s sermon topic, Lust.

“There are temptations in the world; those aren’t going away. There are always things out there that will tempt us to put ourselves first, to put what we want in that moment above everything else; whether it’s good for us or not. So the question is, what do we do with the temptations we face? What do we do when the world wants us, lures us to go somewhere, to indulge some thoughts that we know we probably ought not? It’s actually rather simple.” ~Pastor Jeremy Scott

“….and sometimes that means making room in not only our hearts, but making room in our closets, and making room in our garages and maybe even making room in our bank accounts. We are called to look around and see what we’ve been given and we’re to remember what Christ told us, “let us not store up our treasures on earth; let us recognize that there are greater treasures that God wants to show us….if we would only make room. (Matthew 6)” ~Pastor Jeremy Scott

Join Pastor Jeremy as he delves deeper into the first of our deadly sins….gluttony.

“It’s not that you can’t have the moments; it’s not that God doesn’t want us to take pleasure in life, it’s not that God doesn’t understand that we just need a time out and we need to hide in the bathroom and play Words with Friends for 10 minutes because our children are driving us nuts.” ~Pastor Jeremy Scott

You are helping create experiences for others. Experiences that sometimes you might now even know how important they are. Yes, scripture, tradition and reason are incredibly important, but let’s be honest about what really goes on; experience matters, too. ~Pastor Jeremy Scott
