This sermon explores a story of remarkable change buried deep in the Old Testament. The story tells how a group of people determined to exact revenge underwent a complete change of heart and ended up tending to the needs to their former enemies. What caused such a remarkable transformation? And how can we learn to create that kind of change in our families, workplaces, and communities?

Have you had your 15 minutes of fame? Probably not — most of us never will. We live; we die, and this great big world barely even notices.
This sermon looks at someone in the Bible who lived like us — obscure, anything but famous. Yet, in God’s eyes, he lived very well. From his example, we’ll gain insight about “the meaning of it all.”

We’re exploring one of those Bible stories that makes you cringe, but also makes you think deeply about important questions like: Are all religions created equal? And, if not, what should we do about it?

Sometimes we feel really disconnected from God. Some of us have always felt that way. We hear others talk about their “close personal walk with God,” and they seem like aliens. Why can’t I feel that way? What’s wrong with me?
This sermon examines the one essential prerequisite for feeling close to God. It’s not what you think!

Words come easy. We think something, so we speak it, rarely considering the potential impact. Everybody does it.
Yet the words we speak have enormous power to shape reality – and to shape our own life experience.

Authentic religious life is not about renouncing fun and giving up good times. Jesus had so much fun, his critics accused him of being “a glutton and a drunkard.” And we are called to be like him. So let’s get the party started!

In recent weeks we’ve seen that Jesus teaches that salvation is not found in rules or doctrinal purity. So what is the key to salvation?
This week we’ll look at a passage where Jesus is asked that specific question and gives us a very simple and compelling answer.
