    If the devil can convince you that your core identity is a sinner then you will live and act like it for the rest of your life. He knows that your actions arise from your identity, so he will try to convince you that your identity arises from your action

    Review We have been examining what it means to “be” the family of God. The past couple of weeks and this week we are looking at what it means to be a child of God. I think that we are all a bit stumped when it comes to recognizing our identity as a child of God. We are used to seeing ourselves ...read more

    This sermon is from an “Exchanged Life” perspective on the grace of God which describes that grace as Unimaginable Kindness, Unrestrained Affection and Unceasing Flow.

    Years ago we went with Kathy’s parents to visit the Grand Canyon. It was beautiful and the sheer majesty of that sight took my breath away. So did the shortage of guardrails! Our young son wanted to race to the very edge and look over. My instinct was to hold him back safe from any danger of ...read more

    Here’s a different look at the parable of the lost son from Luke 15. It’s a narrative sermon that focuses not as much on the lost son, but more on the rest of the story...the older brother’s reaction.
