The Prophets

Throughout the Word of God, we see the story of redemption that finds fulfillment in Jesus Christ. God's plans are beyond our comprehension, for He works in ways that the world doesn't expect or understand... yet He understands us on a very deep, very personal level. In the broad scope of God's eternal story, we need to look beyond the Christmas season to find our ultimate hope. He is the Prince of Peace. 

ThankFULL... More of Less, Part 3: Blessing

We tend to think of "blessing" in tangible, measurable ways, but God thinks much deeper. Blessings speak to our relationship with God through Jesus, and are intended to pull us into relationship where we realize how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ... that we may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Therefore, thankFULLness is not a time to relax and "loosen our belts"--we are filled for a reason! And blessed people bless people.  

ThankFULL... More or Less, Part 2: Worship

If we define stewardship by giving, then we significantly misunderstand the heart of God. Fullness is not found in the things of this world, but as Paul communicates in Ephesians, the fullness of God is found when we immerse ourselves in the love of Christ. God doesn't need what's in our wallet. He desires what's in our heart. As a holy offering to God, our attitude reflects how we embrace the role of stewardship, and we bring our tithe and offerings to Him in worship.

ThankFULL... More or Less, Part 1: Ownership

Gratitude and thankfulness is best measured through stewardship--the management of God's property, finances, or affairs. There are multiple layers to our conversation regarding stewardship, one of which is ownership. When it comes to being thankFULL, our horizontal measures (property lines, deeds, titles, bank accounts, etc.) will always leave us reaching for MORE but ultimately grasping LESS. 

Sharing the Good News

New Life Sunday is a celebration of membership and baptism, as we come together for a time of worship as the family of God.

The News is Still Good!

As a people, we have a natural tendency to share news that we find intriguing. News that resonates with us. That moves us. And the good news of the Gospel is "For God so loved..." -- are you ready and willing to share it?

Spiritual Conversations

When we truly embrace God's grace, it does something within us. And that grace that's within us has to come out! If it doesn't, then it's not grace. This creates a little tension between our actions and our words, because what's in us is always what comes out. Are you prepared to acknowledge what you know and let the Holy Spirit fill in the blanks? 

Anticipating the Harvest

In continuing our previous conversation about "Dirty Work," the analogy remains: We are not the sower. We're not even the seed. We... are the dirt. But don't automatically assume that you're good soil. A Kingdom harvest must be predicated by people "in the Spirit!"

So prepare to get uncomfortable. As Dr. Jerry Porter once said, "Our passion to be Christlike--and to make Christlike disciples who mkae Christlike disciples--is not a program or a curriculum, it is a way of life. It is an intentionaly, relational, mutually empowering, lifelong Jesus pilgrimage."
