Life Together

Jesus teaches us how to store up treasures that deliver the most joy and security.  Matthew 6:19-21 // Pastor Tom

Jesus said, "when you fast."  He assumed His followers would participate in the spiritual discipline of setting aside their own needs for the purpose of seeking God.  Fasting is so much better and so much more than going without food. // Pastor Tom Murray

You choose how to respond after being wronged.  You can live as a debt collector or forgiver.  In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus instructs His followers to forgive because they have been forgiven.  // Pastor Tom Murray

More people would pray if they had a confidence that prayer is what Jesus says pray is. Pastor Tom shares about the unparalleled invitation to personally connect and interact with the Creator of the Universe.

Acts of compassion are one of three disciplines Jesus calls his followers to live out in secret.  Jesus promises rewards from God when you use your "more than" to serve someone with "less than" you.  // Pastor Tom Murray

Our daily life is disrupted by the COVID-19 health crisis.  God uses disruptions to get our attention.  While much is out of our control, we can humble ourselves before God, pray, seek His face, and turn from our wicked ways.  // Pastor Tom Murray

There are moments in a marriage when husbands and wives feel like, "this is not what I signed up for."  In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus elevates marriage and confronts casual attitudes toward divorce. // Pastor Tom

Protecting a marriage happens on purpose, not by default.  Jesus tells us that affairs start in heart - and that's where husbands and wives must sever thoughts and desires that threaten to ruin our relationships.  // Pastor Tom Murray

Every day is precious.  As Milwaukee grapples with devastation, heartbreak and anger following a mass shooting, we look to our Heavenly Father for answers, comfort and refuge.  God comforts us in all times of trouble so that we can comfort others (2 Corinthians 1:4).  // Pastor Tom Murray

When someone angers you, the prospect of revenge may seem sweet.  However, Jesus challenges his followers to respond differently.  Reconciliation will always be more satisfying than revenge.  // Pastor Tom
