    What is discipleship? What does it have to do with the church?

    This morning, we continue our look at the five purposes of the church, the five primary reasons that we relate to one another as a body of believers, rather than just living out our faith privately as individuals. So far, we’ve looked at three - evangelism, worship, fellowship - and today, we ...read more

    What does it mean to serve as Christ did?

    If I were to ask you to describe yourself in one word; if I were to ask what one adjective best sums up your identity, what would you say?

    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.

    What does it mean to say that God’s love is "personal"? What difference does it make?

    Most people would agree, I think, that our society is becoming increasingly impersonal. More and more of the daily activities that used to involve contact with another human being are being automated. 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

    Life is hard. Prayer is our pathway to peace.

    This morning, I’m going to begin by openly acknowledging a fact of life. It’s something each one of us knows to be true, something we’ve all learned by personal experience, but which we usually try to avoid admitting publicly. And here it is: life is hard. For everyone.
