Does it ever feel like hurry is too much a part of your life? But then again is it really that bad? When pastor claims that hurry destroys people's souls. Is it true? We look at the famous story of Martha and Mary and find out that things are a little dif

Jesus turns to people and says "Come and See..." What if he were to say that to you ? Is it possible that the writer of the gospel of John tells us about how the first disciples came to follow Jesus exactly because he is calling out to you and I across th

When Jesus said "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone" did he mean that judging other peoples actions is wrong? Is the story of the woman caught in Adultery a story about not condemning others or naming sin for what it is? It turns out that most

How well do you know Jesus? If you could know him better - would you really want to? In our scripture for today we encounter one of the wildest scenes of the New Testament - the Transfiguration - and we discover that it is in embracing the mystery of Jesu

When we hear someone say they are on a mission for God we either think of something silly like the Blues Brothers or something terrifying like religious extremists blowing people up in the name of God. But what if God really did have a mission for you and

In the midst of many church services is an activity that seems like the mosty holy mystery to some folks and a strange empty ritual to others... What is this thing we do called The Lord's Table? Why do we do it? What does it accomplish ? Does it really ch

What is your church known for? What should it be known for? Why are so many mainline churches dying ? Why do some churches prosper while others slowly fade away ? If we are the church, if we are the body, if we are supposed to have unity - where does that

Living the Christian life is like sitting on a three legged stool - you need all three legs for it to work. One leg is love of God and the worship and faith that follow it. The second leg is mission and service to the world - acting on our faith - doing s

Did you ever feel like your life is full of so many thoughts, issues, and questions that you don't even know what you believe anymore - like the noise and busyness of life has grown like weeds - covering and hiding the underlying assumptions and choices y

All of us struggle with self doubt - but what makes some people fearless despite it ? What makes some people live with honor and dignity even though they know full well what a mess they are? We are so easily defeated - is there a set of convictions that c

Ever wish you were somebody else or wish you had what they had? It is a natural thing to compare ourselves to others instead of delighting ourselves in God. Ever wish you could hear what people were saying about you behind your back? How about if you real

There once was a boy named Eustace Clarence Scrubb – and he almost deserved it. What would it be like to become on the outside what you were on the inside? What if that happened and you looked in the mirror - only to see a Dragon looking back at you? In

Ever feel like you are stuck in your spiritual life - like it is going nowhere? What if the Hillsong classic "From the Inside Out" contained a four step dance that results in a life of deep joy - a way to get unstuck and purse a deeper walk with God? We d

Do you live in a world where the self-revelation of God is possible? Why would Michael W. Smith take the most bizarre, spooky, supernatural verses in scripture and put them in the most fun-loving normal top 40 style melody imaginable? Does a song like You

One of the current classic praise songs is Matt Redman s Better Is One Day... but what is it all about? We look at the rich scriptural foundation of this song as we step through the song line by line. We discover that Psalm 84 is a song for the road - a s

In this third sermon in the Great Divorce series we move from the basic sins of the Big Man to the sins of intellect of the Bishop. We discover a man who views him self as very religious yet doesnt even realize he is living in Hell. Not all spirituality l

What does it mean to dwell in the house of the Lord - Is David talking about the physical temple, eternity with God, or something else ? In this final sermon on the 23rd psalm, we review the psalm and conclude with this wonderful promise that tells us how

Should the end of Psalm 23 say I will dwell in the house of the lord forever, or I will dwell in the house of the Lord my whole life long? In this aside from the main sermon, we look at the details of the hebrew and issues of translation to come to a conc

There are two very different ways to understand the idea that goodness and kindness shall follow me all the days of my life - One involves the Hound of Heaven who refuses to leave us alone that we might not be alone, and the other is concept of that our l

Have you been feeling bugged lately? Are you butting heads with anyone? Does your cup feel like it is overflowing or does it feel like it has run dry? What does this verse mean, and what was Jesus called the anointed one? This short verse gives us insight

If God offered you a meal - would you really like what was on the menu ? What does it mean that God sets a table for David in the presence of his enemies? Is David just gloating as he eats while his hungry enemies look on? We look deeply into this verse o

How could anyone find a rod or staff comforting? Is God more about love or discipline ? Isn't questioning authority a good and necessary thing? Then why is it that most of our modern dictators arose by doing that very thing? What does it mean to make Jesu

Has your life felt like you were walking through a dark valley that seems like it will never end? This verse is the hinge that turns Psalm 23 from theology to prayer. We take an honest look at what it is like to walk through the valley and still be able t

I keep trying to restore myself, but it never sticks. What are the paths of righteousness, and how do I get there ? It turns out God doesnt just give us the map, he walks alongside us every step of the way - and so I can say with the author of Psalm 119:
