This week we're continuing our new sermon series on "A Man Called Job."And Sunday we'll be in Job, chapter 3, which gives us a very personal look at a man who is grappling with many of the big questions of life but after the last two weeks of having his life turned completely upside down, he starts to ask the "Why" questions. Why do sad things happen to me? Why are there ...

Another week, another sermon. Another week, another cycle of waking, working, eating, and sleeping. It's all pretty repetitive, and I'm going to bet that our sermons in Job will end up sounding repetitive. And that's somewhat by design. The writer of Job understands that both Job and readers of this book (That's us!) are dense of heart. We need to hear the same stuff over ...

This week we're starting a new sermon series which I've entitled, "A Man Called Job." We'll be looking at the Book of Job for the next four months and grappling with many of the big questions of life Why is there suffering? Why do bad things happen to good people? Why do bad things happen to me? How do you explain the presence of evil? Is God really sovereign? Why are the...

This Sunday is a packed one. We are wrapping up our series on the wanderer, celebrating the Lord's Supper, enjoying a fellowship lunch, and for many of us, attending community group. And since we're wrapping up our series on the wanderer, I hope that this series has caused you to pause and think about the role that you play in the lives of those around you. I hope that it ...

We're in week four of our January series on "Coming Home: Bringing Back the Wanderer." And this week we're going to look at the wanderer we're most familiar with. I'm calling them the willful wanderers because their wandering is usually intentional. Last week I said that most of us know someone who's a wanderer. Well, almost all of us know this wanderer and that's because...

Well, we've spent two weeks now in our January series on "Coming Home: Bringing Back the Wanderer." I've probably gotten more feedback, questions, and comments on the last two sermons than I've received in years. And that's because almost every one of us knows someone who's a wanderer. It could be a child or some other relative, perhaps a friend we grew up with, maybe some...

It's soon to be the second Sunday in January. The church calendar tells us that it's Epiphany Sunday, commemorating the visit of the wise men. It also marks the official end of the holiday season. The twelve days of Christmas are now over. Our annual overindulgence of too much to eat, too much to drink, too much laziness, and too many dumb movies is grinding to a halt. We ...

2023! It's hard to believe we're already heading into a new year. 2022 has come and gone. Out of curiosity, I went and looked up what I wrote to you at this time last year. This is what I said, "Wow, by the time we meet again it will be the New Year. And we all want 2022 to be a lot more hopeful (and less stressful) than the past few years. But who knows? Well, God does." ...

Christmas is upon us, and Advent is drawing to a close. And as we finish up Colossians chapter 1 by looking at verses 24-29, there is this sense that the wait is finally coming to an end. Christmas Day is almost here. But our wait for Christ to come is obviously different from the wait that Mary and Joseph endured so long ago. Now, we know that Christ has come, and that He...

This Sunday's sermon will be the fourth and penultimate sermon in our advent series The Indescribable Gift. In this sermon, titled "Christ, Our Reconciliation" we will be looking into the importance that Jesus Christ has for the church as the one who reconciles between God and man. The last three weeks' passages have emphasized the identity of Jesus Christ as our Gospel, ...
