LIfe Without Lack | Intro

Send us Fan Mail This Fall we are doing a church-wide study of this important book by one of the most influential Christian thinkers and writers of our time, Dallas Willard. He was the Chair of the Philosophy Department at the University of Southern California, so a world-class philosopher, a faithful church leader, and a careful student of God's Word and the ways of the world. Life Without Lack is a 10-week study of the 23rd Psalm, so while it is familiar territory to most of us, we get to enjoy Dr. Willard's unique angle of approach and find encouragement to live our lives with abundance as we trust in our Sovereign God for everything. Interestingly, this book is published posthumously out of notes he used to teach this topic at his home church several times, put in book form by his pastor of many years. Wouldn't it be wonderful to have no doubt in your heart or mind about what influence you are able to have in the world and what difference it would make to not worry at all? Jesus said, "What can you add to your life by worrying?" and Paul said, "Be anxious for nothing." Our very nature finds it hard to trust and surrender to God, and even though we love Him and know He is 100% trustworthy, we still don’t. Our Pastors believe this study will open new opportunities for us to understand what it means to fully trust Jesus and what we can accomplish for Him when we do. A limited number of books will be available on September 13th for $15, or you can save time by ordering it for yourself.

Get Smart | Saving the World and Loving It | Ep. 2

Send us Fan Mail Many of us remember the movie where Maxwell Smart stumbles to success by saving the world- an irony, because he is not "smart." But several of us might go back a generation or two to the 5-year long series and the escapades of Don Adams as Smart, Agent 86, who rarely knew exactly what was going on but always seemed to, again, save the world from Kaos! You might find yourself exhausted by all the opinions, postures, claims, and beliefs that are asserted around you all the time, to the point that you have given up knowing what is true, right, or even best in a given situation! This is a time to get smart, but in a particular way - the Way of Wisdom. There is a path deeper than knowledge, facts, or data points which runs through the pages of Scripture that offers “a different kind of Smart” - a prudence, understanding, even discernment that can literally save the world and love it!
