Numbers 9 - Aug 6 2017 - Some might think the story of Moses a tragic tale. Here is a humble servant leader who poured his energies into the life-long pursuit of a goal he never realized. He came close, but never set foot in the promised land. But pull back for the bigger picture and you will see something completely different. Prepare to be amazed!
Numbers 8 - July 23 2017 - Not long after redeeming Israel from Egypt, God called for a census. Thirty-eight years later, God called for a second census. Why? When you understand His reason, it changes your perspective on every challenge you are facing. It's not about the numbers!
Numbers 7 -July 16 2017 - Imagine a pastor leaving in the middle of prayer meeting to barge in on a couple fooling around and pin them to the ground with a spear. Pretty crazy notion, eh? But that's about what a man named Phinehas did and, unbelievably, God approved. How can this be? You'll understand once you get the bigger picture.
Numbers 6 - July 9 2017 - Finally, some signs of progress! Israel is doing better, not because they don't blow it, but because they can admit it. And once they do, God gives them a glimpse of something breath-taking. Look over their shoulder and see if you aren't in awe of what God gave them to look at.
Numbers 5 - June 25 2017 - Here is another unbelievable "day after." Numbers 16 opens with a detailed account of Korah's rebellion.

But against a black backdrop we also catch a flash of light. Get ready to be stunned by something incredible.
Numbers 4 - June 4 2017 - Unbelievable the difference 24 hours makes. On day one, Israel refused to follow God even though He promises to go with them.

God will still love Israel like a father even as He administers some serious long-term consequences.
Numbers 3 - May 28, 2017 - God will do what is necessary to mold us into the likeness of His Son and won't settle for anything less than the finished product.

Follow Me - Apr 23 2017 - Within the heart of every man beats a deep yearning for significance. In a world driven by competition it is common to resort to comparison with others.

Resurrection Sunday - Apr 16 2017 - Two followers of Jesus were trudging slowly home, filled with sadness. They had witnessed what filled them with discouragement.

Learn how as we listen in to their conversation on a walk to Emmaus.
Palm Sunday - Apr 9 2017 - To all appearances, Palm Sunday was nothing if not a day of praise and joy. Except Jesus wasn't feeling it!

Ephesians Sermon #10 - Jan 31 2016 - How can you know if all the blessings listed in Ephesians 1-2 belong to you? If you belong to a decided minority, people who have made a conscious choice to follow Jesus despite whatever cost, you are being changed: Your decision to take the narrow path yields an ability to actually hear the voice of Jesus, to prefer His way, to take after His character, and to bear much fruit.

Ephesians Sermon #7 - Dec 13 2015 - What a difference two little words can make, in this case the Greek words ek and epi.

Ephesians Sermon #5 - Nov 22 2015 - What if God was omnipotent but not omni-gracious? What if God was rich in grace but limited in power? The benefit of knowing God would be profoundly diminished.

Stewardship Sermon 1 - Sept 27 2015 - Grace giving can only be explained by the hand of God. This kind of stewardship defies logic: Adversity leads to joy, poverty prompts lavish giving, people are begging to give. So what can we do to prepare ourselves to experience this amazing phenomenon?

Sermon #25 - Aug 16 2015 - Apart from Christ, maintaining healthy relationships is impossible. Even for those in Christ, it is a major challenge.

This handout includes all relevant passages and is suitable for meditation and personal study.
Sermon #24 - Aug 9 2015 - When brothers in Christ are unreconciled, they make a mockery of the word of reconciliation we offer the world. But where unity thrives, the world sees us for who we are, those whom God loves as He loves His own Son! That's when the Gospel moves with transforming power.
Sermon #23 - Aug 2 2015 - Reconciliation requires something of two parties. It is true with us and God. It is true as it pertains to men. In both cases, unless we do our part reconciliation is impossible. So what's "our part?"

Sermon #18 - May 24 2015 - Attempt to confront someone else's faults without using these two ground rules and you will make one big mess. But when you relate to others the way you want God to relate to you and begin with yourself first, you will get things started on the right foot.
Sermon #17 - May 17 2015 - This sermon introduces the summer of renewal series. In a world where "bigger and better" has invaded the church, it is good to be reminded that ministry effectiveness is not about being hip, or cool, or drawing a crowd.

Sermon #13 - Apr 12 2015 - The Great Commission is but the latest issue of a mandate that is as old as the Garden of Eden.

Sermon #12 - Apr 5 2015 - We spend so much time and energy pursuing "perishable food." Jesus proposes something far better, a pursuit of the living bread that satisfies our deepest longings and solves our supreme problem. The resurrection is unassailable proof that this bread actually works!
Sermon #11 - Mar 29 2015 - Our mission is global in scale. Our orders are to stay at it until the end of the age. The mission involves extreme peril. What chance of success could we possibly have? "I am with you" is all we need to know.

Sermon #7 - Mar 1 2015 - When we are rowing in place, Jesus will come alongside. What happens next is up to us. In this study of the night when Jesus walked on the water, we can discern six key principles for those who are straining to obey God but can't seem to make any headway.

Sermon #4 - Feb 08 2015 - This sermon introduces four "Lessons on the Lake" that Jesus taught the twelve. All four centered on a single topic, trusting God. Get ready to "Be Faith" as we learn about the vital connection between understanding God's character and trusting Him.

Sermon #0 - Jan 4 2015 - This message explains Paul's charge for Titus to renew the churches in Crete. Helping believers to be "revealers of grace" in the church, in their homes, and in the community is where renewal begins.
