    Money is not the solution to our lack of significance, purpose, joy, or love.

    Intro: This morning I want to suggest something extremely radical, subversive, and even confrontational. It is a message our culture does not want you to hear.

    God’s plan from the very beginning is to take ordinary people and transform their lives with Jesus.

    Intro: How many of you can think of a time when you did the right thing, and got in trouble for it?

    Sin kills the soul, the community, momentum and our witness in the world.

    Most people don’t really “like” sermons on sin. They don’t like hearing them, and (at least in my case) they don’t really like preaching them. I think that is because judgmental-ism and “holier than thou” attitudes have typically characterized our discussions of sin, and often the end result has ...read more

    Counteract lies with God’s truth that we are loved by Him and that His love is powerful.

    Intro: I used to always identify with the first snowman. Part of my personality is idealistic, sees the good, believes that things can improve, people can change, and greater things are ahead. But this year, for a number of reasons yet un-examined within me, I feel more like I’m in the second ...read more
