One in a series on Rick Warren’s Purpose-Driven Life book. Our mission is to drive with others toward a destination. But between invitation and destination there is hesitation, born of diversion, dissension, and dissipation.
People who are on a mission move; people who are on a mission let nothing stop them. They are not distracted by side issues, they focus all their energies on getting their mission accomplished. People who are on a mission do whatever it takes to get to their goal. But people who are not on a ...read more

This is the first of a two part message concerning the message of the book of Hosea. This deals with the marriage between Hosea and Gomer and how it parallels God’s relationship with Israel and in fact, all Christian believers.
To begin a study on Hosea, we must first understand the meaning of the word “minor prophet” which is how Hosea was classified. A minor prophet was only assigned that classification based on the length of his book. It had nothing to do with the weight of his message or the length of time that he ...read more
Scripture: Hosea 1:1-11, Hosea 1:1
So what’s the difference between the church and the world? And what’s the source of that difference. Would it surprise those of us in the church to realize that we’re the reason things are so different?
What’s the difference? By itself the question doesn’t make sense. What’s the difference between what? Some differences are pretty easy to see, night and day; automobiles and elephants. But others are a bit subtler such as between democracy and a representative republic. Still others are live ...read more

As people reflect on 911, my question is: Are we really healing as a nation? In this message we look at Jeremiah 8 and see some astonishing parallels between Judah and America today.
Are We Really Healed? Aug 11, 2002 They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. "Peace, peace," they say, when there is no peace.

Scripture: Mark 13:1-37
This is the first 1/2 of a two part sermon addressing the link between God’s sovereignty to act without us and his requirement that we pray so that he can act.

But praying, by definition is speaking to God, worshiping God, Thanking God, or imploring God to ...read more

THE TWO MOUNTAINS Heb 12:18-24 The key thought of the book of Hebrews is seen in the word “better.” Throughout this book, we have sought to emphasize the superiority of Jesus Christ over the Old Covenant. Jesus is better than the prophets, than the angels, than Moses and Aaron. The New ...read more
