This Fall we’ve focused on the commands of Jesus because disciples of Christ do what he says. Multiple times Jesus tells his disciples to wait for him and to be prepared for when he returns.

Jesus gave us clues to his return, but...

This Sunday we’re seeing how an unexpected encounter between King David and one of his citizens teaches us an important point about worship. The word “worship” in the English language comes from the olde Anglo-Saxon for “worth-ship”. To worship means to declare the worth of the object we are worshiping. Worship is more than a song, more than a ceremony, and its more than words. True worship means...

This week we’re eavesdroping on a conversation between two rich men that exposes the most formidable obstacle to living by fait...
