Good morning. Does anybody remember this game of Life? It is a game that basically simulates life. All the choices you have to make in life. Remember the first choice you have to make in the Game of Life? College or career. That is the first choice. Then you go on and make choices whether ...read more

Forget It!

Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jul 31, 2022

In order to press on, to move forward, in the Christian life, we must first "forget" the past. We must forget the sins of others and our own sins and mistakes; we must forget our successes and failures; we must forget our vision of how our life would turn out.

My text this morning is a familiar one, from Paul’s letter to the Philippian church, chapter three, verses twelve through fourteen. Let me set the context. Paul begins by listing his credentials as an authentic descendant of Abraham, in rebuttal to those who were attacking him and his message. ...read more

Generosity

Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Jun 24, 2022

This sermon is about the false narratives that surround the idea of "generosity" or "giving" and the things that hinder Christians from having a generous spirit.

I want to start off by saying giving in the Christian life is not so much an external action. Something that we do out of guilt or obligation, but really what we do in response to the love of God and the generosity of God. A generosity that we try to imitate as we seek to be more like Jesus ...read more
