  • Orientation Psalms
    Human life consists of seasons of well-being and satisfaction.  These times should be met with gratitude and praise for God who provides the blessing.  The psalms that arise out of these times are called “orientation” psalms because they express joy, delight, goodness, the reliability of God, God’s order in creation, God’s law.

  • New Orientation Psalms
    Human life consists in turns of surprise when we are overwhelmed with the new gifts of God, when joy breaks through despair.  In times in which the good news of God surprises people, “reorientation or new orientation” psalms arise and speak boldly about a new gift from God, a fresh experience that makes things new again.

  • Imperfect Worship
    We must participate, not merely observe. 
    We must know the holiness and awesomeness of the ONE we worship.  
    We must be willing to honor God above our dignity and position.  
    We must realize that worship imperfectly, and in our imperfect offerings the perfect God is honored.

  • Disorientation Psalms
    Human life consists of seasons of hurt, alienation, suffering, and death.  These times evoke rage, resentment, self-pity, and hatred.  The Psalms that arise out of these times are called “disorientation” psalms because they lament the parts of the world that are messed up.

  • Abide in Jesus

    Because as I abide in my vine, I love people out of that life and health and provision.  But when I unplug from the vine, I love people out of that death, dryness, and emptiness.  


    Relationships are not a feeling, they are whimsical…relationships are a discipline that require daily attention.  

    The Vinedresser has provided the ideal habitat for growth

    The vine provides the nourishment we need to do what we were created to do

    The branch depends on the care of the vine, and produces the fruit…

  • What happened to Marriage and Family?

    As I thought about what Marriage and Family means as we gather today, I am reminded that we are product of our environment.  We cannot escape what we have been handed from former generations and history. In This sermon I will explore what we have been handed and how it effects our views and practice of both marriage and family.

  • What Happened to Sex?
    There is so much I could have covered, but here’s the point.  If we are going to claim to be the people of God, then we need to live in God’s way.  And more than ever, that means that Jesus Christ is Lord of our sex lives too.  

    You can’t love Jesus the way he wants you to and be having sex outside of marriage.  
    You can’t fully love Jesus and be objectifying a person for your pleasure 
    You can’t fully love Jesus and be abusive to your spouse. 
    You can’t fully love Jesus and be watching sexual material on a screen. 
    You can’t fully love Jesus and be listening and practicing what this culture thinks sex is.  

    Now, notice I said you can’t fully love Jesus…I didn’t say Jesus doesn’t love you.
