    Why does ice cream melt The law of entropy Acts 2:24 says it. “But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him.” I love that language. We tend to think of dying and coming back to life as being impossible. Peter ...read more

    This is the third message in the Contrarian’s Guide series. This week we look at idols, and how as odd as it sounds, if we are not careful our idol becomes "me."

    This is our third message in our contrarian series - we’ve been looking at things from a little different perspective, or vantage point. Last week we talked about slowing down - rather than speeding through life, maybe if we slowed down we could learn to hear God. The week before that we talked ...read more

    We all want to leave the world a little better place for having lived here. But if that is true, then we must have a plan. Do we? Jesus suggests a plan "Follow me."

    Have you ever wondered why you come to church every Sunday, at least most Sundays? And why is it that for each one of you faithful attendees, there are 10 or more non-attendees?

    Am I qualified? Who could have foreseen lowly fishermen of Galilee had the potential to become fearless apostles, or that simple peasants could leave their net behind to become founders of the church?

    The search for answers begins when we are young. We all want answers to the big questions of life. Jesus starts by giving us answers and not questions. He already knows the things we want to know about.

    How to be like Jesus This simple sermon title involves a lot of profound teaching from Jesus. A lot of people today and in Jesus time too were looking for the fast solutions to the problems of life. Life was no less complicated for the people of Jesus time than it is for us today.
