The Lost Son - September 2, 2018
Luke 15:15-32 When I went away to college, I received a number of gifts and scholarships. Most of them came in the form of cash or checks directly to me. And, somehow, having that new money and that new freedom, it burned a hole in my pocket. I manage to spend a good chunk of money and then rack up some credit card debt on top of it. Then, when the credit card bill came, I didn’t have the money to pay it. As a young adult out on my own for the first time, I managed to bung it up well without really thinking through what might happen later. I had this debt, and
Let Everyone Come - August 12, 2018
Children's Time:
But through the life, ministry, and resurrection of Jesus, we have all been invited to God's holy place. And we have come to see that God doesn't live in just one place, but everywhere...God lives here with us, and goes with us to work, to school, and to our homes.
Through Jesus, God says, "I don't want to be hidden where no one can see me, I want you to know you can get really really close to me. And you can talk to me any time you want. And you
Will You Stand Among the Righteous?- August 5, 2018
Psalm 1 tells us "Blessed are those who don't stand among the wicked, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on [God's] law day and night." We are encouraged to choose God and God's law over lawlessness and sinfulness. Not shocking, right? Fairly straightforward. And most of us don't choose wickedness as some pre-meditated plan. "Ha, ha, ha, today I'm going to be evil! Whahahaha". That's not who we are. That's not why we're here. Generally, we mostly consider ourselves decent people who try to do right by God and neighbor. And yet, we know we're not perfect. We have our

What Story Should You Tell? - July 29, 2018
Acts 7It's kind of wild that we can get a brief summary of the whole biblical Jewish history in just one chapter. If you've studied the Old Testament scriptures much, or if you went to Sunday school as a child, you probably knew the names and at least part of the stories. If you're new to the church or the Old Testament stories—good news, you're
The Summons - July 22, 2018
What we see here is a glimpse at church growth—more and more people are learning about Jesus and more and more were choosing to follow him, which is something people celebrate—we want the life-giving power of Jesus to reach more people. We want more people to know about forgiveness and grace and God's deep deep love. But then the complaints started happening—the church isn't doing enough. The people are being forgotten. Some groups are being treated unfairly. Some people are falling into old ways—
