Ephesians 2:1-10 "Costly Peace"

Jesus made peace between God and the world, but it was not easy. Oftentimes when we make peace it is costly.

Ephesians 1:3-14 "Lost in Love"

It is easy to lose our wonder at how incredible God’s love really is. We should take time to get lost in that love every once in a while.

"Paper Tigers" - 1 Samuel 17:19-54

The enemies of God are “paper tigers” which fall away when challenged. We are tasked with stumbling around the world and blessing it, almost by accident.

"What's Repentance?" - Exodus 32:30-33:6

At the heart of repentance is the decision that the presence of God is more important than even our success. Will we be a Church that prioritizes God being with us over other ways of defining success?

John 15:1-17 "What it's all about"

At the heart of repentance is the decision that the presence of God is more important than even our success. Will we be a Church that prioritizes God being with us over other ways of defining success?

Matthew 9:35-38 "Laborers for the Gospel"

Jesus gives us a different way to labor for the kingdom.

Luke 10:25-37 "The Law Means Love"

Humans have an instinct to use whatever levers necessary to exclude people from their "inner circle," including God's Law. But we are called to use God's law for love.

Luke 10:25-37: Parable of the Good Samaritan

God’s instructions for us are simple. We have the responsibility to be a neighbor even when it means crossing boundaries that might make us uncomfortable.

Matthew 20: "Everybody's Even"

Simply trusting Jesus with your own life is a far better way to live than to be constantly comparing ourselves to others.

Matthew 18: A Kingdom of Forgiveness

The forgiveness of sins is at the heart of what the kingdom of God really looks like, but it means relinquishing your privileges that allow you to judge others.
