Crowds in the bible have always fascinated me. The bible lets us know what the people observing a story thought and felt. In this message, we look at three crowds and three stories. One takes place before Christ's Triumphal entry on the first palm Sunday, one takes during and the other after. Each crowd teaches us something different about the impact of Jesus on the world.

The war for the compliance of the heart is one of the most understood and difficult aspects of seeking to grow as an apprentice of Jesus.  There is some good news about it however. It has to do with the Holy Spirit's decision to fight the battle for you. 

Paul's life was anything but planned and perfect. For followers of Christ, the walk can take us to new, excited and uncharted places.  Are you ready? 

Our culture values the big and brave superhero who can sweep in to solve our problems. Paul teaches us something different about where real strength lies. 

It's easy to follow a rule that makes us feel better about ourselves.

 Its more challenging when when following becomes about issues of the heart more than rules. We can do it, however, if we will make Jesus our example. This is the message from Sunday, February 4, 2024.

Inadequacy is not a popular goal for us. But, when it comes to our relationship with God, Paul teaches us something different. This is the message from Sunday, January 28, 2024.

How much can humans really change? When Paul first became a believer in Christ, it was hard for the world around him to believe. So he spent the rest of his life telling them how it was possible as he lived a new life before them. 

Paul's conversion found in Acts 9 is a remarkable, yet outrageous moment in human history. How it unfolds is a lesson for all of us and leaves us a pattern for how God interrupts and changes the human heart. 

The greatest evangelist (outside of Jesus Christ) to ever live started out as a real bad guy. What does that story of the life of Saul, who became Paul, teach us today?

When God has something for you to do, he provides the grace to do that. The story of the birth of Christ is one of those circumstances where God's grace covered a young girl who was chosen by God to be the mother of Christ. Wow.
