Are there Dark Clouds on your Horizon? We all like our good times, but it seems like when things are going great, here come the clouds of an upcoming struggle.

That’s what we’re checking out at Kalamo this w...

Are you clean, that is, inside and out?  Sometimes because of something we have said or thought, we feel dirty inside.  Maybe to the point of unworthy of God’s love and withdrawing.  But Jesus especially cares for those who are struggling and reaches out to hold them and give them strength.  This week at Kalamo we are looking at how much God loves us even when we don’t feel we deserve his love!  W...

Are you being held back? Sometimes it seems way too often life isn’t fair. A person has the interest and ability to do something, our hopes build up and we are getting excited at this prospect. But there is some external situation which limits our ability to live into that hope – we are being held back. Where is God in all of this? This week at Kalamo we’re in a series on how Jesus loves and helps...

What do you value? We’re talking about people, not things or money. For example, characteristics like in the Boy Scouts: trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, and so on. People have strengths and weaknesses, so which ones are most important? But what does God value? How does that impact and help us in our daily lives? We’re in a series on how the Gospel of Luke describes God. This week...

Are you nice? Consider a bumper sticker I saw the other day: Just Be Nice. On the surface it might seem a little shallow, or maybe a little silly or childish like Pollyanna.

We hope that you will find this message to be int...

I am sure that God is pleased when we are happy, but there is a trap of thinking that God exists to make sure that we are happy.  It seems contradictory, but when we think that God exists to have us be happy – it actually takes away our happiness! I do believe that God wants us to feel a sense of peace and confidence. This week at Kalamo we’re going to dig in and look at what God says and pro...

Sometimes we think that it doesn’t matter what we do as long as we don’t hurt someone – physically or emotionally. But is that really true? This week at Kalamo we are starting a new series about how we be “off track” in our relationships with other people and how misunderstanding what God has said influences our thinking. We hope that you will find this message to be interesting and helpful! &nbsp...
