    We are unhappy if we lose something precious and really glad when we find it again. God is sad when we wander away from him, but really happy when we let him lead us home again.

    I really enjoy doing jigsaws – when I get the time, that is. Does anyone else here like jigsaws? What’s the biggest jigsaw you’ve ever done? The biggest one I’ve ever done is 1000 pieces. Just imagine you’d spent days and days doing a 1000 piece jigsaw and just when you thought you would ...read more

    God’s ways are not our ways. This truth is not more clearly demonstrated than in the parable of the lost sheep and the lost coin

    Luke 15:1-10 “Backward Economics” INTRODUCTION Jealousy is never a pleasant human emotion, either when we become aware of it in our own being, or when we see it displayed in the lives of others. Jealousy is a common human emotion, though, and it is one that you and have had to deal with in ...read more

    Jesus would probably find it very difficult today to find a church willing to have him as their pastor.

    Sermon for Luke 15:1-10 September 16, 2007 Jesus would probably find it very difficult today to find a church willing to have him as their pastor. You see, Jesus didn’t fit in the mold of what the church people (the Scribes and Pharisees) thought a religious leader should look like, or act like. ...read more

    This was our "Great Fall Kickoff" I tied how Jesus can turn losses into a great victory... into a call to GO and serve!

    Matthew 28:16-20 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of ...read more

     | 5,743 views

    The lesson from these parables is that Jesus DOES give up on some people, and that only seeing it in this way is there any good news. If you think the message of these stories is that God never gives up on anyone, I suggest you have gotten it backwards.
