    What's Your Perspective?

    Contributed by Jonathan Twitchell on Oct 26, 2006
     | 4,906 views

    Contrasting Job with the Rich Young Ruler forces us to consider the priorities in our own life. Our ability to face the inevitable losses and tragedy in life is determined by our perspective on life. By setting our sights on things above, we are better

    Whenever the phone rings at 2 o’clock in the morning, you hope that it’s a wrong number, that nothing’s really wrong, and that you can go back to sleep. Middle-of-the-night phone calls are rarely good, as the caller must think it’s pretty important in order to wake you from your sleep. Melody’s a ...read more

    Of Campaigns And Callings

    Contributed by Jonathan Twitchell on Oct 26, 2006
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,445 views

    Twenty-first political campaigns in the United States seem to be a far cry from the intentions of the founding fathers of our country. And yet, the aspirations for titles and positions go back in history. Every organization with people seems to have a pol

    It’s that time of year again… the air is cool and crisp, the days are getting shorter, the leaves are beginning to fall, and the television is full of pithy little advertising spots exhorting why I should choose one candidate over another. I think I’ve figured out how to identify a negative ...read more

    Finding Jesus Through Suffering

    Contributed by Jonathan Twitchell on Oct 26, 2006
     | 2,924 views

    The Problem of Evil asks "How can evil co-exist in a universe with an all-good, all-powerful God?" Pastor Jon looks at this difficult problem, drawing from the doctrine of free will, the tarnishing of creation at the fall of man, and the simple fact that

    Last week we spoke of the difference between campaigns and callings—highlighting that Jesus did not campaign for his position as the Great High Priest, but was called to that position like the priests of old. He fulfilled his calling and was obedient to his Father, even though that calling led Him ...read more

    Repairer Of Broken Walls

     | 21,072 views

    An invitation to a holy lent, speaking about the desire for revival, and recognizing that revival must be empowered by God, beginning with us (not them).

    Having grown up attending a church that had little to no emphasis on fasting, Ash Wednesday, or the season of Lent, I’ve grown to approach this season with anticipation and trepidation at the same time. I appreciate the recognition of the passage of time toward Good Friday and Easter. After all, ...read more

     | 4,846 views

    This sermon takes a look at the David & Goliath narrative with a contemporary eye to the Zorro and Superman movies.

    Killing The Author Of Life

    based on 11 ratings
     | 4,885 views

    What does it mean to suggest that we "killed the author of life"? Readings from C.S. Lewis and John 1 complemented this sermon.

The prologue from John was also read. After some music, the crucifixion narrative was read, and then this sermon was ...read more
