    Courage is critically important, because it is at the center of all the other Christian virtues. What convictions undergird and strengthen our courage?

    This morning, I’d like us to consider the topic of "courage". Not merely courage in a general sense, as an admirable character quality, or as a moral virtue that we should seek to cultivate. But specifically, as an aspect of Christian faith. I’d like for us to consider what part courage plays in ...read more

For instance, some of us are old enough to remember the days before telephone answering machines ...read more

    God loves us as we are, but He also loves us too much to leave us that way.

    When you hear the phrase, "God loves you," what kind of picture does it conjure up in your mind? Specifically, what image of God do you envision when you hear someone say that God loves you? Perhaps you think of a kindly old grandfather, smiling down on you benevolently from heaven. Someone who’s ...read more

    As our country makes war on terror, we need to be reminded that God’s love will prevail.

    What an extraordinary week this has been. What a horrifying, sad, frightening, exhausting week this has been.

    What in this world is truly indestructible? Only God’s love.

    Over the past few weeks, we’ve been reminded, in a shocking and brutal way, that nothing in this world is indestructible.
