Why Love the Church?

The church at times can be tough to love and I think it's largely because our reasons for loving our fellow brothers and sisters are insufficient. Pastor Joshua Harris posted an excerpt about the wrong reasons and right "reason" to love the church. Essentially his point is that rather than loving the church for anything about them we should love the church because of who Jesus is and what He did for His Church. Food for thought.

Mercy for the Merciful

This past Sunday I preached the last sermon in our series "The Spiritual Life" through the first 41 Psalms. The main point of the sermon on Psalm 41 was that those who are merciful show themselves to have received and be dependent upon the mercy of God.

Life's too Short to Lack Eternal Perspective

On the first Sunday of 2010 I preached on Psalm 39 as part of our series "The Spiritual Life" through the first section within the Psalms. The main point of the sermon was that life is too brief for us to try to live without an eternal perspective on it. If you would like to listen to the sermon click here.

What Tiger Woods and Everyone Really Needs

Faith in the person and work of Jesus Christ alone offers the redemption and reconciliation, with God, self and others, that fallen public figures like Tiger Woods as well as everyone who recognizes their sin and brokenness needs.
