    Our lives will include many different phases in our spiritual journey. Our job is to keep taking the next step and keep the finish line in our mind.

    Last Monday (Memorial Day). 9:00am. I’m standing in my front yard. With a wet suit on. With a swim cap and goggles on my head. With a sprinkler spraying me with water. Across my driveway from where I stood I had my recently purchased road bicycle leaning against the back of my car. A few ...read more

    Give up your dreams of a “pure church”. The reality is there will always be a mixture of true followers and hypocrites. Make sure you’re ready for the judgment day and get on with the work of being fruitful!

    INTRO: I’ve got a confession to make. I love Roundup. I love the feeling of just going around, spraying a little bit of poison and then in a few days seeing those weeds shrivel up and die!

    God does not want his servants to be paralyzed by fear of making mistakes, but to use everything they have been given for His Kingdom.

    INTRO Let me throw a question at you and get some responses from you as I get started. What are you afraid of? I’m amazed at some of the things people are really afraid of. There’s things that are more common like… • Claustrophobia: fear of enclosed spaces. • Coulrophobia: fear of ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,387 views

    The way into the Kingdom is by response to an invitation to come – not by justice (working for your wages). All people, regardless of background, can respond to God’s invitation and be rewarded with eternal life.

    In a rather shocking story that Jesus told to a crowd of people, he shared with them that the ways of God’s relating to people are actually quite a bit different from our rules of fairness, justice, and good economic principles. Listen now as I’ll tell you a story like Jesus told it – it comes ...read more
