    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

    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!

    Believers should both hear and act on the Word of God. Those who listen and respond are blessed in their actions.

    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.

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

    December gets messy, yeah?
