If Jesus was born on the first Christmas, but the Son of God existed before all worlds, where was he before the first Christmas?

What should your church be all about ? What are the signs of a healthy vibrant church that is headed in the right direction? We talk about six distinctives of a great church and discover that the first one - a commitment to the basic gospel as found in the Nicene Creed is the foundation upon which the other five are built. Today we begin our series on the Nicene Creed by asking first "What do we believe the church should be" and then focusing on the first two words of the Nicene Creed "We believe". This podcast includes a song written in our church community which captures our mission - the six essentials we are trying to embrace.

Is being lazy really that bad ? After all, isnt busy uptight people who cause all the wars ? Why would the ancient church consider Sloth a deadly sin? It turns out their understanding runs much deeper than ours and is brutally conviciting. On this Palm Sunday we turn to C.S. Lewis' Screwtape letters to get a perfect picture of the habit of sloth, and to Jesus in the gospel of John to see it's opposite: Diligent Love.
