    Jesus was not born on the "right side of the track." We can accomplish more than we ever thought. This sermon looks at the lineage and culture of the Birth of Christ.

    We need to be prepared to tell people about Jesus as we go about our lives… Who is Jesus? Where did He come from? What did do? What did say? What was His character? What was His nature? And can we truly be like Him? Can we really obtain the God given dreams, goals, and aspirations that we have? ...read more

    Some church services today resemble a Broadway play where the pastor is the playwright, with people leaving more entertained than elevated, for a church can only be as spiritual as their leaders and you cannot give what you do not have, especially when Hollywood has infiltrated the church.

    When Jesus washed the feet of the disciples, he broke cultural conventions but also provided an example for his followers to emulate.

    Surprised by Underwhelming Expectations I rarely introduce myself as Pastor. It’s not that I don’t want people to know the role I play, but I don’t want my title to become a barrier. Sure, it may open some conversations, but it may also hinder others as people might think I’m some holy man - ...read more

    God opens doors the world closes, sending Spirit-led people to welcome all, proving His unstoppable grace when culture says no.

    In the midst of an increasingly impersonal culture, we can find strength in the knowledge that God’s love for us is intensely personal.

    (Note: I am indebted to Rick Warren for the title of this message; the sermon itself is original) One of the more troubling aspects of the modern age is the creeping de-personalization of our lives.

    Sex has become a cultural obsession but the picture of sex that our culture paints is a cheap counterfeit of God’s design. What we have done is dehumanized ourselves and taken something which was meant to be sacred, wonderful and beautiful and changed it
