What is love? God's love is patient, kind, not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demanding, irritable, and keeps no record of wrongs. It rejoices when the truth wins; it never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. God's love is so unlike all other loves and we must experience it so we might begin to share it with others!

God's agape love -- the first fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) -- is so different from all the other kinds of love that we might experience. Not only is it so much different, it is so much better! But in order to understand it and share it with others, we must first receive it ourselves. It is a fruit of the Spirit, not our own efforts!

Sermon #1 of Highrock's summer sermon series ("Flavor: Taste of the Fruit of the Spirit") from 1 Corinthians 13:1-7 NIV

This flashback to March 8, 2022, brings us back to a discussion about the core of the Gospel. Ancient Greek culture found it easy to believe in the immortality of the soul but incredibly hard to believe in the resurrection of the body. Despite their difficulties, Paul is clear -- the resurrection of Jesus' physical body is the core of the good news and central to our hope.

We all seek to control life and secure its outcomes through the pursuit of wealth, pleasure, power, or even wisdom. Instead, the Teacher counsels us to entrust our lives to God in faithfulness. What are the ways you are tempted to trust in yourself rather than in the Lord? What are the lessons and questions you will continue to carry with you?

In light of our mortality, the Teacher dispenses with wisdom for both young and old. Each stage has blessings for us but our destiny with death should remind us that we each will have to account for the choices we make. Love life, but live for more than just this life!

The Teacher explains that we should not just hold onto our treasures. Instead, we should 1) invest, 2) diversify, 3) read the signs, 4) act now, and 5) work hard. No doubt, these are wise financial guidelines, but is there a deeper spiritual principle as well?

Sermon #5 of Highrock's summer sermon series ("Dual Citizens: Living Between Two Kingdoms") from Rom 14:1-10

This flashback from March 23, 2022 was part of our Lent series. Abraham's original name was Abram and in those early days, he struggled to trust and believe God. God assured Abram by making a covenant -- literally, cutting a deal with him. This same deal is the covenant that is offered to us today through what Jesus accomplished on the cross.

A little foolishness can ruin a lot of wise choices -- especially when that foolishness comes from our leaders! How can we live wisely under unwise leaders? The Teacher explores the path that wisdom carves through such unpredictable times.
