    Is anger always wrong? This message looks at why we get angry and how we respond to that anger.

    If I asked you to think of an angry person, I would suspect it wouldn’t take very long for a particular person to come to mind. Don’t look around. Maybe your boss, or a stranger that you’ve never met, but you’ve witnessed their anger, maybe it’s someone you are close to, perhaps a parent or a ...read more

    Feeding On Christ

    What does it mean to feed on Christ? Why doesn't everyone respond positively to the gospel?

    Today’s passage is challenging. The passage is difficult in two ways; first, it is difficult to understand, as it requires unpacking a figure of speech, a metaphor. What does it mean, really, to “eat the flesh” and “drink the blood” of Christ? So it’s difficult to understand. And perhaps more ...read more

    When God calls Moses to go to Pharaoh for the deliverance of the children of Israel, Moses responds with a plethora of excuses...

    At the beginning of the Old Testament book of Exodus, the children of Israel have survived the drought caused famine. They’ve been in Egypt for over 400 years. Joseph has died and all his generation; the children of Israel were fruitful and have experienced tremendous population growth so much so ...read more

    Peter asked a question.... How many times must I forgive? Jesus responded by telling a story.

    January 23, 2021 The Context: Peter asked Jesus a question: “How many times do I have to forgive the person who sins against me… 7 times?” Peter’s question was not intended to get Jesus’ opinion so much as it was to toot his own horn of grace and mercy --- Toot! Toot! You see, the Rabbis ...read more

    When God’s people testify to what God has done, others are invited to witness and respond.

    To help the church rediscover the simple, uncluttered love of God revealed in Christ and respond by loving others intentionally.

    December gets messy, yeah? People say Christmas is the “season of love,” but sometimes it feels like the season of short tempers, long lines, and people losing their salvation in the Target parking lot.

    Ever had your parents ask you to do something, and you're like, 'Yeah, yeah, I heard you,' but then you never actually do it? It's like you heard the words, but they just didn't sink in. James is telling us that it's not enough to just hear God's Word; we've got to do something about it. Remember ...read more
