    Why Wikipedia beats printed encylcopedias. How doing the hardest thing (what's that?) can help lift our spirits when we are low. And how that fits not just with Jesus's saying about saltiness but with the rest of today's bible readings. A sermon from September 2015

    Have a taste of this [hand out teaspoon of salt to someone in the front row] “If salt loses it’s saltiness with what will you season it?” I have two things that I would like to draw out of today’s texts about ways in which we can lose our saltiness - one personal and one public.

    Safe Sin

    based on 16 ratings
     | 5,346 views

    The word "safe sin" is an oxymoron. There really is no such thing as a "safe sin." All sin is wrong and God will judge it all.

    TEXT: Ezekiel 18:4 TITLE: SAFE SIN This phrase “SAFE SIN” is what is called an oxymoron. Oxymorons are expressions or statements, which seem to contradict themselves but nonetheless make a point. Some examples are: “Cruel kindness,” or “clean dirt,” or “tough love.” As a rule these words just ...read more

    This message is from a series that looks at God's desire for us to live life in a way that avoids being overloaded and overextended.

    Busyness and productivity are values that seem to be held high in our culture. In fact, these values are looked on quite favorably in the church. We often live as though busyness is next to Godliness. Dr. J. Grant Howard describes our culture this way, “Some people can’t say no. They ...read more
