Some of this sermon is influenced or taken from Bob Russell's sermon on The Bible as the Absolute Standard of Truth. It sure is good to be back in the saddle.

Scripture: Jeremiah 29:11
The Bible says you can open up your innermost thoughts and just spill them out on the ground before Jesus. He’s not going to look at you like, “Oh gross!” He’s not going to laugh at you or mock you.
We are beginning the new year by praying together as a church. Maybe you are not sure of yourself when it comes to prayer. If prayer were a high school sport, you’re not sure you’d receive a “letter” on your varsity jacket for prayer. Many of you have picked up the little book, 21 Days of Prayer. ...read more

Family, can we speak heart to heart for a moment about the most familiar instrument we own? It weighs almost nothing, hides behind our teeth, rides on our breath, and yet it shapes homes, churches, and Monday mornings. The tongue.
