    The first message as the full-time speaker at a church where I had previously been filling in, preached the first Sunday after a move. Autobiographical, allegorical, and life-applicable.

    Hebrews 12:1-3 – Baggage Let me tell you something right from the start: we hate moving. I know we only moved less than 10 minutes away, but that didn’t make things radically different from moving away. Sure, we used several pick-up trucks instead of a U-Haul, and we made several ...read more

    Sermon 13: Christian Life And Ministry Are A Team Effort Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Jan 12, 2026
     | 198 views

    As the apostle Paul concludes his letter to the church at Colossae, he mentions 11 people in the last 12 verses. From this we notice that Paul was someone who knew how dependent he was on others for his own wellbeing and for the advance of the Gospel. Christian life and ministry are a team effort.

    There is the lifeline that connects our communion with the Lord but we can slip and fail, and so we slip down that lifeline of communion. Many of the great men of God failed but were wonderfully restored in the comfort of God. What can we lose as we slip? How do we return?
