    What is the missional church? How does a church transition to being missional? What do missional Christians look like and act like?

    Last week we started a new series called an elemental church. We looked at God’s dream for a church and talked a little about the dreams that we have for our community.

    Deepening "whiles" become heightened "boasts". Weakness, sin, and enmity are our problems toward God. But in Christ there is help at the right time, conversion of consequences into positives, and sacrifical love for reconciliation.

    “We have a problem here.” That phrase, in one form or another, runs through much of human history. We have a problem here. You know it, if you remember 1995, as almost what astronaut John Swigert said from Apollo 13. “Houston, we’ve had a problem here.” Changed a little and immortalized by ...read more

    If we are living the life of Christ before others, people will ask why our life is so different from the rest of the worlds. We must be ready to give an answer.

    BE PREPARED TO GIVE AN ANSWER A. How many of you know someone who is not a Christian? (RAISE YOUR HAND) 1. We all do, don’t we—FAMILY, FRIENDS, NEIGHBORS, CO-WORKER, CLASS-MATES.

    In this section of 1 John, we are shown what love is. John gives us the negative example of Cain and the positive example of Christ.

    This sermon is a relentless drum beat of negativity concerning America’s political predicament with a brief flicker of hope at the end. Theme: Demigods disappoint and enslave.

    In the early days of our Republic pastors would set aside the Sunday before election day to preach a sermon about the coming vote. In those days they would name names and tell the congregation who to vote for. Now, thanks to a 1954 law, churches can no longer speak out in the same way. If they ...read more
