Apathy melts when wounded believers encounter the gentle, pursuing love of Jesus—and a church that mirrors His compassion becomes a place where hearts burn again.
I want to talk to you this morning about something that sits quietly in the corners of our churches. It doesn’t shout. It doesn’t slam doors. It doesn’t usually make the headlines in church board minutes. But it drains the life out of congregations and breaks the heart of Jesus. I want to talk ...read more

Scripture: Mark 4:18-19
The arrest of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane shows us what sin is like: it is ordinary, it is out of place, it is pervasive. Jesus is the master gardener who can eradicate our "weeds".
No gardener wants weeds in his garden. But every gardener has them. Weeds are inevitable. Weeds cannot be avoided. So the question is, what will the gardener do to rid his garden of the weeds? I love to walk around other people’s gardens. In other people’s gardens I don’t feel guilty about ...read more

In an age when the church is becoming increasingly irrelevant to the daily life of people, when the message of the church seems to increasingly fall on deaf ears, and when the truth is mocked as meaningless and unattainable, Jesus speaks to us these words

Some seeds fall on hard soil, representing those who hear the Word but reject it. The seeds that fall on rocky soil represent those who receive the Word ...read more
