    This message gives an introduction to my series on The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe and looks at four characters’ responses to prophecy.

    This message is the first of a series I plan to do on Narnia. It is short in order to provide time for communion which we celebrate on the first Sunday of the month.

    Of greater concern than the commercialization of Christmas is the trivialization of Christmas. This message seeks to rekindle the AWE that is a fundamental doorway into an authentic experience of God.

    The poor have a special place in God’s heart, and God expects His people to remember and respond appropriately to the poor.

    Introduction: A. As you know, I like the Peanuts cartoons. 1. In one cartoon, Lucy approaches Charlie Brown with a piece of paper and a pen, and says, “Here sign this.

    Family! Pleasure, pain, comforting, aggravating - and so much more, right? A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of going with my Mom and Dad to a reunion of her family in Indiana. For a weekend I interacted with a few dozen people with whom I share nothing but DNA a common ancestor. We gathered ...read more

Next week, we’ll consider the final adage, “To Thine Own Self Be True.” I encourage you to investigate this week and see if you can find the true source of that saying.
