    For some of you, it was all you could do to even come here today. You failed over and over. You had such a bad week or month that you really didn’t even want to show up today. We sometimes want to give up because of · the regularity of our sin (“I just can’t seem to stop!”), · the reproach of ...read more

    What does it mean to say that God’s love is "personal"? What difference does it make?

    Most people would agree, I think, that our society is becoming increasingly impersonal.

    The Symbol of the Cross Luke 23:32-41; 44-46 September 2, 2001 Introduction It’s amazing how people, countries and companies are defined by symbols.
