Several have commented to me how it has been interesting to look through baby pictures of Jesus. I’ve enjoyed it and I hope you’ve taken away some good, practical things to do about it.

Worship is not merely a response to God, but it is also the pursuit of God. God pursues us, and yet for some odd reason, He seems to be just beyond our grasp when we seek Him. The pressing into His Presence is the choice of our will to worship Him.
Encountering God - Part 2 – Pressing Into His Presence Overview Last week, I laid a foundation for what I believe to be the biblical nature of worship, starting with the fact that God has created mankind to worship Him. That worship arises from a relationship with Him. The bible says in the ...read more
Scripture: Psalm 63:1
We are scouring the pages of the Bible for a series of encounters between ordinary people and God. These encounters are called visitations and they are almost always following a crisis of some kind. There’s a crisis, an extraordinary time when people seek God, and there’s a visitation.

Over the course of this fall sermon series, we are scouring the pages of the Bible for a series of ...read more

Scripture Last time we saw that forgiveness is a gift, paid for by Jesus Christ. We don’t deserve it, and we can’t earn it. And that is grace: God behaving towards us in a way we simply don’t deserve. We saw this in Ephesians 2:8-9: “For by grace you have been saved through ...read more
