    There is one thing that based on what’s going on in your life that if you could figure it out and do it, it would leave you in a much better place a year from now.

    So you could go home now. We’ve kind of got it all set up for you. You know what to do. Hey thanks for being here. One of the things I struggle with at the beginning of every year is how long do you say Happy New Year. I tend to go into like February so I’m just going to try and say it ...read more

    Out of grace and mercy and great kindness, God gathers our burning, blazing life; he glorifies it for the sake of Jesus Christ; he builds it up new and good in that hidden world where the line of death that separates us from God has been taken away.

    (Read Colossians 3:1-4.) Dear congregation, it is as if our whole life were carried, raised up, and protected in these words. Say what you will against this “Seek the things that are above.” You may suspect that those who are constantly seeking things above may lose contact with the ground under ...read more

    How do we introduce people? In this passage, we see John, the baptist and Jesus introduced in such graceful ways. May our words of introduction too be words of blessing, words of power, peace and grace!

He was asked to introduce a colleague who had come to visit from Germany. This colleague was a pastor there. He knew what the ...read more

    Trials make us evaluate what matters most. Questions about life and eternity help us center our hearts and minds and focus our hopes in God’s eternal plan.

    All of us face trials. The Bible is filled with stories about people undergoing trials and teachings about how to respond when we face trials and troubles in this life. This past week Boston was shaken by a crisis that we all have surely heard about. I selected four slides from photos that were ...read more

    Through his first miracle, at the wedding in Caana, Jesus shows that he cares about the small stuff in our lives…we should care about the small stuff in the lives of others.

    Introduction: “Don’t sweat the small stuff.” We’ve all heard it. Many of us try to practice it. We encourage others to do it. There are even books about it. We are supposed to stop worrying about the small stuff and just let it go. There’s just one problem with that; most of life is made up of ...read more
