    Christmas is hope personified. It highlights the fact that Christianity is essentially a religion of hope.

    Today we began the Advent season by lighting the first Advent candle, the candle of hope.

Of course, it’s much more complicated today than it was for the wise ...read more

    How many of you celebrated the Thanksgiving holiday with a special meal? [How many had turkey? "Tofurky"?] Whatever was being served, how many left the table still hungry?

    How do we order our lives to do the things that are really important, without always feeling rushed and overwhelmed?

    How many of you here this morning consider yourselves to be unbalanced? No, I don’t mean mentally unbalanced. I’m talking about feeling that your life is out of balance, that you’re spending too much time, and money, and energy on some things, and not enough on other things. I’m talking about ...read more

    Doubt can be a beneficial step in our spiritual journey.

    Have you seen the campaign ads that have been running on TV lately? Here’s a question: how many of you believe everything you hear in those commercials? Do you think they tell the whole truth?

    Ever hear of something called “jogging in a jug”? “Jogging in a Jug” is a concoction of 4 parts grape juice, 4 parts apple juice, and 1 part apple cider vinegar. Yum, yum! It’s a folk remedy for high cholesterol; a kind of “Drano” for your arteries. Supposedly, two ounces a day of this stuff and ...read more

  • A Season Of Mourning Series

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Mar 30, 2001
    based on 86 ratings
     | 15,671 views

    This is week two of a series of messages on the topic of “seasons” in the Christian life. What’s a season?

    based on 80 ratings
     | 25,926 views

    God’s love toward us is unconditional.

    God is gracious. What does that mean? That God has good manners? That He’s courteous? No. "God’s grace is His free and unmerited favor". Let’s examine that. God’s grace is "unmerited". It is undeserved. It is unearned. It is purely a gift. We receive good things from God, not in response to ...read more
