We’ll look at some goals for Jesus MCC in 2007, specifically:
This is part two of Pastor Jeff’s State of the Church Sermon.
A look at where we’ve been, and an exciting look at the possibilities that are before us.
This is Pastor Jeff’s annual State of the Church Sermon.
Every one of us is on a spiritual journey. Whether we know it or not, whether we’re giving it much thought or attention or not, our souls are in the process of becoming something new, seeking out our purpose.
Are you making progress on your journey? Or are you stuck on a detour, or an off-ramp you didn’t mean to take?
“Trust in God.” It’s supposed to be the base of Christian life. Some Christians make it sound like if you trust God, everything will go your way.
But let’s get real. Sometimes we’ve trusted God and have been very disappointed.
This sermon takes a deep look at trust, learning from Israel and their exodus from Egypt.
Ever imagined what it would be like to have an encounter with God? To really come face-to-face (so to speak) with the God of the Universe?
A desire to know God is deep within us as humans. If you were given the chance, wouldn’t you jump at it?
This sermon gathers some insight from Moses and his “close encounter”.
God has allocated a finite amount of time, talent, money, and energy to each of us. We can’t do everything, so we have to make choices. Are you making the most of the choices you have?
Remember how you could hardly wait for Christmas was when you were a kid?
But we’re not kids anymore. We’re older, rational, skeptical. We’ve been around the block a few times. Is there any reason why we should be excited at Christmas?
What does your soul thirst for? Most of us could come up with a long list of things that would make us happy.
That’s part of the excitement of Christmas — it taps into that subconscious sense that maybe there is something out there, just waiting to surprise me, just waiting to be unwrapped, something that will quench this thirst in my soul.
In today’s Scripture, Jesus tells us a story about people like us –- thirsty people –- and how they finally found what they were looking for.
Some preach a conservative Jesus; some a liberal Jesus. What’s the truth?
The goal of every Christians is supposed to be to become more like Christ. So if you’re a Christian, and you were to see that Jesus was more liberal or conservative than you, would you be willing to change?
Why am I here? What is the purpose of my life?
There is within every human a deep desire — instinctive and powerful — to discover the meaning of reality and then establish harmony, oneness, with that reality. We are, virtually all of us, deeply spiritual beings.
Jesus had a few things to say about that. This sermon examines another of His “Kingdom Parables.”
Scripture tells us to give thanks in all situations. So, how do we do that? Why should we do that?
This sermon looks at a lesson we learn from 10 lepers. It’s a familiar story, in which they are all healed — yet only one expressed his gratitude. What he received was much more than simple healing — it was the path to wholeness.
When your world is spinning out of control — what do you hold on to? Underneath the layers of what we’ve been told to believe and what we “ought” to believe, what sustains you? Pastor Tammy shares a bit of her heart with us in this sermon.
Think of the person who has done you the most wrong — someone who has wounded you deeply. Have you forgiven them?
You may say they don’t deserve it — and you’d be right. But your forgiving them is not for their good, it’s for you.
Listen for some radical — but essential — lessons on forgiveness.
