    based on 74 ratings

    The Bible teaches that all people have sinned and are spiritually dead. We have closed hearts, darkened minds, closed ears, and blinded eyes. Because we are spiritually dead we need God's help.

    Ephesians 2:1-5 HCC 10-1-00 Fallen Humankind This last week a gymnast from Romania was stripped of her Olympic gold medal because she tested positive for a drug that was banned.

    What is the good word for today? God is in control!

    Three years ago this past summer, one of the college students at my former congregation found out that he had a brain tumor.

    Have we been given the two minute warning?

    I started reading a book this week that has brought words to my feelings as I struggled with what I believe God wanted me to say today. “Preacher pastors often hesitate before they speak.

    The alarm that went off on September 11 is opening our eyes to the problem of individualism. The only thing that will keep us from collectively rolling over in our bed of apathy is a strong call to the cross of Christ and to genuine Christian community.

    The New Awakening Pastor Jim Luthy It has been two and a half weeks since we were awakened by the news of terrorists striking on our own soil. Since that time, we have heard that the attacks awakened a "sleeping giant." But that leads me to some questions. If we were a "sleeping giant," why ...read more

    We must agree that the "habit" of not meeting together is counter-productive to making disciples.

    Breaking the "Habit" of Isolationism Pastor Jim Luthy In the past few weeks, we’ve been discussing, both here and in our TLC Groups, the value of living in community. You might recall that we talked about the "Paradox of Community," where we hunger for intimacy yet we fear intimacy. Then we ...read more
