We are continuing in Luke – and continuing our experiment in ‘Team Teaching’

Luke 7: 36 Now one of the Pharisees asked Jesus to have dinner with him, so he went into the Pharisee's house and took his place at the table. 37 Then when a woman of that town, who was a sinner, learned that Jesus was dining at the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster jar of perfumed oil.

38 As she ...

We are going to be doing something a little different over the next several weeks. We are going to be doing some ‘team teaching’ – we went over this on Zoom and it was so good I wish we could just show you the Zoom – but we trust it will be even better in person!

Today is Independence Day – and I knew people would be traveling – so I decided to do something fun today. FUN for ME! You might find it boring – but

The Great Conspiracy Theory

I won’t talk about Area 51, the Illuminati, or QAnon…

This is not really a conspiracy – it has been around since the beginning of time.

Thank You for the opportunity to worship you – help us to turn our attention to Your word ...

Lord, thank You for this time today. You have welcomed us into relationship through the cross – through Your death. Thank You that You condemned sin in Your body on the cross. You condemned the power of darkness – You were victorious that we might live with You. Speak into our hearts – may Your thoughts come through to each of us – through my speaking – I ask that You would fill these words – open our hearts and speak ...

We are continuing a series.

After July 4 – we will start some Team Sermon weeks – 4-5 weeks – fun and exciting to hear from several people each Sunday in the gospels.

How do we engage in our world, for the purpose of bringing people to faith in Jesus, without being conformed to the world?

This has been our theme – I’d like to look at how to do this PRACTICALLY in our current context – where we ...

How do we engage the world, for the purpose of bringing people to faith in Jesus, without being conformed to the world?

The goal of the Christian world is to bring people to faith in Jesus. It is not to bring them to a cause, or to a church, or to have a cultural way of thinking. That is not the goal. The New Testament does not give us a cause, theological system – not even ...

Good Morning! As you may be aware, we were on vacation the last couple Sundays – They told me it was okay for me to miss, but now I have to pull double duty this week!

Today is Pentecost.

I’d like to start this morning by reading a tweet from Rich Villodas: “I love that on the first Pentecost Sunday, it is the apostle Peter who preaches. This same Peter had just denied Jesus a few weeks earlier...

Relationships – in the church

1 Corinthians 13:5 Love is not self-seeking,

Love does not seek its own.

Love is not self-serving.

Self-seeking/self-serving is an attitude that destroys relationships

We are going to take a stroll through the book of 1 Corinthians – relationships are important – and there are a number of issues in the church – and there are a number of reasons that is happening – and we will focus on one of those today ...

We have been looking at relationships in the church.

1 Tim 3:15 I write so that you will know how one ought to conduct himself in the household of God

The church, in the New Testament, is often referred to as a family.

For them, a household was not just mom, dad, and children, but the extended family – kind of living in a compound.  We know that the New Testament uses familial language ...
