Hey Family,

What’s wrong with our marriages? What’s wrong with our church? What’s wrong with our society? What’s wrong with the politicians? These questions come up for every one of us when we reflect on the brokenness not only in our lives but the brokenness we see around us. The answer to these very profound questions is equally profound but very short. The answer is: SIN.

Sin is what’s wrong with us. Sin is what’s wrong with our marriages. Sin is what’s wrong with our church, our society, our politicians. And sin is what’s wrong with the world. In this new series, Kill Joy, we’re going to turn to the gospel to investigate how sin can ruin our lives and see what the remedy could be.

The answer isn’t just stop doing it. The answer is deeper and much more profound. If you’re having a tough time right now, I hope to see you Sunday. Invite a friend.

As our "Hard Sayings of Jesus" series draws to a close, come on Sunday to learn what Jesus meant when he said it was harder for a camel to fit through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich person to get into Heaven. Think you're not rich? Wrong.

Hey Family,

Last week we were reminded of what the gospel says about judging other people, and how important it is to address the condition and issues of our own hearts. If we accept the forgiveness and healing that Jesus holds out to us, those same feelings should overflow from us onto those we tend to be critical about.

This Sunday as we continue with our summer series, "Hard Sayings of Jesus," we get to one of the most abrasive statements our 21st-century ears can hear: "Repent or perish." These words conjure up images of subway preachers who are yelling at us to turn or burn. But come this Sunday to find out how this is actually one of the most loving phrases that Jesus ever used, and how full of mercy it is but how abused the phrase has become. I look forward to seeing you at 10 a.m.

Hey Family,

In every society there's a concept that everybody agrees is negative, that offends everyone who hears it. In our culture, it's the concept that other people have the right to judge us. The idea that someone else would pronounce moral rightness or wrongness on anything that we're doing is abhorrent to us. That's where the saying "Don't judge me" started.

This Sunday, as we continue with our series HARD SAYINGS OF JESUS, we'll find out what the Bible says on judging. I think you'll be surprised at how much more piercing and profound Jesus's statement about judging is than what we think about in our society. I hope to see you Sunday at 10 a.m., and bring a friend.

Hey Family,

I hope that you are being blessed by our current sermon series, HARD SAYINGS OF JESUS. This Sunday we'll be talking about something that every Christian should know. What is the one sin that will not be forgiven? Jesus tells us very plainly.

As with all these hard sayings of Jesus, when we understand them, we realize that Jesus is telling us these things out of his great love. He came to earth to seek and save the lost. So come this Sunday and learn what this very startling passage means. I look forward to seeing you at 10 a.m.
