Where Love Comes From

Every one of us would probably say, “I want to do a better job of loving people, even in tense situations.” But just because we want to be more loving doesn’t mean we know how. In this sermon, we explore how.

We’re going to try to figure out where love comes from, so we know where to go to get more of it.

Partying With God!

This week we launch a new sermon series: Authentic Spiritual Living. We’ll be studying some of Jesus’ core teachings in hopes of answering this question: What makes a person authentically spiritual — in the highest and best sense?

This sermon begins with a mind-bending story Jesus told about an odd dinner party. It’s a story that might just change your whole perspective on life!

Broken. . .

Too Busy To Think

Life moves at a frighteningly fast pace — overflowing with demands and distractions. Without even realizing it, we can easily become externally driven people, living unfocused, reactive lives.

What would happen if you suddenly put your foot down and took charge in 2010? What would that look like? What would you have to change?

Real Power

In the early days of the Church, dazzling miracles occurred. As God’s power flowed through the early believers, many observers thought, “I want that!” Don’t we all!

As you move into 2010, wouldn’t you like to live with more power? This sermon explores the counterintuitive secret of power-filled living. Get yourself ready for a New Year!

What the Prophets Said About You

So what did angels and prophets say when you were born? Nothing? Think again!

This sermon explores how the words of others have shaped our lives (for better or worse) just as profoundly as the words of angels and prophets shaped Jesus’ life.

Watch for a Christmas sermon that’s probably unlike any you’ve heard before.

Secret Powers

This sermon focuses on those feelings of powerlessness that often overwhelm us. You know the feelings: What makes you think your so special? Take a number and stand in line.

Jesus Is…?

As the recent holiday may have pointed out, most of us are blessed. Even if we’re nowhere close to the American definition of “wealthy”, there are many who are much worse off than we are.

Do we go about our business each day with eyes closed to the hurting world around us? What do we do with Jesus’ call to something better, to open our eyes and stand in solidarity with those who suffer?

This sermon looks at the example of Jesus to show us the answers to these questions.

The Daily Grind

Life is not very glamorous. Yes, there are occasional bright spots. But most of the time, we have to grind it out. Our work never ends, we’re often tired, people disappoint us, money runs short, our body ages, illness saps our strength, and loneliness hurts.

Where’s the joy in that? Where’s the meaning in that? This sermon wrestles with those questions and challenges us with a radically different way of seeing life.

Regrets

Each of us has been there — you do something terrible that creates a sense of burning shame. You feel devasted. Your mind keeps dragging you back to that terrible place and time.
