    Sermon: Chickens and Offerings

    In this series, we will look at some of the submissions from all of you and respond to 2 or 3 each week in either a mini-sermon or a dedicated lesson. This week we start off with a kid's joke about a chicken and a serious question from Numbers 7.

    Sermon: From Love to Thanks

    We all known John 3:16, but at what point in time do we take it to heart and show God the thanks He deserves for how He loves us?

    Sermon: A REAL Church

    Some church start-ups have gone to an "us against the world" vibe where they make it a point to reject all things "typical" in an attempt to be more authentic. But... what IS authentic? Is all religious practice bad or is there a time and a place for structure and order? A deeper look at the church of the 1st Century reveals a few interesting facts that may not be glamorous, but they reveal a lot about the church forged by the apostles in those early decades.

    Sermon: Cool Bible Women

    Given that it's Mother's Day, we're practically obligated to do some kind of special message. However, the typical pandering from the pulpit seems insulting, so instead lets take a look at some of the remarkably amazing women of the Bible. Many of these individuals were mothers themselves. Regardless of what we know of their personal life, what we find is a bevy of spiritual giants who can teach all of us amazing lessons.

    Sermon: Stillness

    We live in a dramatic world. No matter how old or mature we get, it feels like everyone is just an angsty teenager trying to lash out at the latest life injustice. The consistent image we see in the Bible is not bombastic clashes for retribution and victory, but God found in the stillness. Perhaps that is why so many struggle and strive for contentment at the hands of their own efforts, only destined to live a life full of discomfort. God isn't found in the cries of a warrior; He is found in the silence of a lamb.

    Sermon: Idolizing the Gold Star

    We all like a little "good job" every now and then. Sure, we should be motivated by our love of God and dedication to calling, but that little bit of encouragement helps our human hearts to carry on. Sometimes people go too far in their pursuit of congratulations, turning their life into a pursuit of adoration from others. They celebrate their victories to elevate their own reputation and the success of their work. Jesus speaks to this directly, warning His followers against celebrating their work. It's only natural; the obvious progression of self-celebration is to fool ourselves into thinking that we are responsible for the good works God is doing through us.

    Sermon: Do A Thing

    God doesn't simply call us to "exist"; he calls us to a righteous work. It's true that work for work's sake isn't fulfilling and misses the point. Some are accustomed to focusing on how much you can "do" in life and not what God is calling you to do. However, don't be deceived into thinking work plays no role. It was there in the garden. It was given as a blessing to the first generations, and it is commanded by Christ as a part of extended God's glory. In a society today which allows so much opportunity for leisure and recreation, we are accustomed to demonizing work, but if oriented towards the source of all contentment, it can actually be quite powerful.

    Sermon: Need Your Now

    Music artist Forrest Frank gets a bad wrap for having superficial songs, but there is something strangely profound in an upbeat, "happy" song that still cries out "I need you now more than ever". Do we all cry out to God so much in our times of victory or are we quick to forget? What about the opposite situation; do we forget about God when things get tough because "I don't have time for God; I just need to figure this out"? If God is sovereign in your life, He's ALWAYS sovereign and that must translate to both the highs and lows our life is destined to endure.
