Diversity has become a buzz word. But long before the politicians and sociologist began to use this word the writers of the Bible called us to "welcome on another as Christ has welcomed you". In this message we explore what how and why we should extend this welcome. While building diverse churches is a formidable challenge, its a timeless foundation.

A word that has unique meaning to Christians is "sin". But what exactly does it mean? And what is the remedy to sinfulness? In this message we delve into what the Bible means by sin and the lengths God has gone to forgive humanity.

During winter we love warming up next to a blazing fire. And the best way to kill a fire once the evening is done is by simply separating the coals. Fires roar when the coals are tightly knit together. And in this installment we look at the church as a family that's meant to burn with passion through our togetherness.

Imagine that you invested your money with an asset manager. What would you expect from that asset manager? In this second installment focused on money we delve into the topic of stewardship. What does it mean to be a good steward? What are God's expectations? And what does God promise to those who are faithful stewards? In many ways God invests resources with us. And instead of being owners we are meant to behave as stewards.

Your heart follows your money. And in this message we explore how home is where your money is. The stories of Zacchaeus and the Rich Young Ruler are meant to be read together. They have similar themes that shed light on other. These themes are about the addictive power of money and how the love of God helps break this addiction. This moves us so that use money and love people as opposed to loving money and using people.

To be listened to well is a gift. When a friend listens to you deeply and makes you feel heard, and

understood, it’s powerful. People pay money to be listened to in counselling. This is so because God has

made us to be listened to. God Himself listens to our prayers. Dietrich Bonhoeffer said “The first service

that one owes to others in the fellowship consists in listening to them. Just as love to God begins with

listening to His Word, so the beginning of love for the brethren is learning to listen to them.” So, this

message explores the intersection between listening to people, listening to God, and listening to God

through people. If I don’t listen to people well, I generally don’t listen to God well either. And if I

don’t have the humility to listen to people and God, I generally won’t be able to listen to God through

people. Your best and worst decision are all related to how you listen to people, God, and to God through

people.

On average we speak about 20,000 words a day. Some people are way above average! That’s 20,000 opportunities

to make a communication blunder along with thousands of other potential online ways to put one’s foot in

one is watching, email like it may one day be read in a deposition”. So, before you hit send or click post

here are three questions to ask. Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary? These three questions rooted in

the wisdom literature of the Proverbs could save you from saying something that you may regret. Scriptures:

Proverbs 12.18-19, 15.1, 18.21, 25.11-12
