Text: Mark 2:13-17

Title: People Like Me

Church is not a place for perfect people -- if it were, it would be empty! Jesus welcomes us into his arms with all our bumps and bruises; don't hide them away and pretend to be perfect, but bring them to the Healer, who makes all things new.

Text: II Timothy 3:1-5; 4:2-5

Title: Three III-Winds

Walk along the lakeshore, and you can observe that there is an invisible wind that fills the visible sail and propels the boat forward. In like manner, there are unseen perspectives that fill our discussions and drive the issues of our world. In what often feels like a raging storm of gale-force winds, how do we discern the life-giving wind of the Spirit?

Title: Jesus' Gaze

Text: Hebrews 1:1-4, Matthew 28:18-19

Title: Who (or What?) Is Really Calling the Shots?

We all know the "correct answer" to the question of "What is driving the decisions of your life?" But is there a way to probe a bit more and face some deeper, and more honest, reality to the "king of our life" question? And if Jesus really is the True and Perfect King, that what does that mean for us and in what ways should it shape our everyday life?

Title: The True and Perfect King

Christ as our True and; Perfect King, who has come and is coming again, has not only won freedom for us, but also guards and keeps us in that very freedom. The question for us then becomes whether or not we’ll allow Him to be the One Authority in of our lives.

Title: Who Takes The Blame?

Blame and Consequences – When things break down in our world, how is that we deal with the blame and consequences that result? Denial? Blame-shifting? “Tough-it-out” strength? Would you believe me if I told you that because that breakdown and it’s consequences have been dealt with, we can each be free of the burden of blame and shame? The Gospel of God’s Grace changes everything!
