New Beginnings

Rev. Jeff Miner — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 15:00:39 +0000

What can it mean to us to say that God is our beginning, and our end? Listen or watch as we discover insight about the power and presence of God. These names can be key to our understanding of life.

Back to Our Roots

Rev. Jeff Miner — Sun, 21 Sep 2008 15:00:15 +0000

If Christianity had a slogan, what would it be?

Get more of what you want!
The ultimate fire insurance!
Discover your sense of superiority.

All kidding and misguided theology aside, what phrase would sum up the central Christian message?

This sermon looks at a name of God that captures the core message of the earliest Christians.

The One Whose Name Dare Not Be Spoken!

Rev. Jeff Miner — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 15:00:52 +0000

Did you know that near the end of Old Testament times, people were afraid to even say the name of God? Rather than using a proper name for the Deity, they substituted other titles.

But then along came Jesus, and he went in completely the other direction. He referred to God with a name that is surprisingly informal and intimate. Listen or watch as we explore that powerful name of God.

Surrounded by Love

Rev. Jeff Miner — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 15:00:58 +0000

With our current sermon series, we’re exploring names of God given in scripture. Each name provides insight into the nature of God and how we should relate to God.

Listen or watch as we dig into new ways of understanding and relating to God.

Divine Chaos

Rev. Jeff Miner — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 15:00:59 +0000

This sermon begins a new series on the names of God that are found in scripture. Each name is uniquely descriptive, and can give us precious insight into the character and nature of God.

This week, we look at “I AM”, the name God used when encountering Moses at the burning bush. “I AM” is also the root behind the Hebrew name YAHWEH. As we see in this sermon, God is letting us know that God will not be controlled by us — an insight that has profound meaning for how I relate to God, and how I live.
