Introduction: Intro: When I lived in Colorado during graduate school I learned that there are 53 "Fourteeners" in all in Colorado-peaks 14k high or higher. When you live in the Denver area there are many spots where you can see the large panorama of the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. But, it's difficult to pic out which peaks are "Fourteeners" and which one's are not. It's difficult until the...

Today we begin a new series. I'm really excited about it because I've never done anything quite like it. As you know, usually I teach out of the Bible...but in this series I'm going to be teaching about the Bible. I'm calling this series: From Garden to Glory-An Overview of the Bible. This is going to be a macro-look at our entire Bible...Big picture, structure, major segments and major themes, ge...

Today I want to conclude my series on the Lordship Resolution by asking the question: What are the signs of a sensible steward? How will you and I know if we're being sensible stewards as God calls us to be?

We are entering week three of this New Year. The New Year is a time when we tend to give more thought to our ways, thought to how we're doing life and for many, giving thought to how we are journeying with Jesus. As a result, we've been talking about an important resolution for Christians, the Lordship Resolution! We've been learning that Jesus didn't just come to die and rise again to be Lord of...

Now, today I want to ask the question, "Why is Lordship Necessary?" "What are the benefits of choosing to make Jesus Lord of your Life?" What difference is it going to make for you? How is it going to impact your daily experience of life? I want to talk about two benefits this week and two other benefits next week. The first benefit is that...

As we turn the corner on a New Year it's the perfect time to give thought to our ways-give thought to our lives, our habits, to our understanding and our ways of doing things. If Christmas is the season of giving...The New Year is the season of reflection and resolutions. This morning I am beginning a four part series I'm calling the Lordship Resolution. I'm not sure what types of resolutions you...

Today, I want to talk with you about Christ as our Healer. Let me share a couple of true stories with you. The first story is about a woman named Sue that I was friends with at my church in Chico. Sue discovered a lump in her breast. Second story is our friend Steve Luster, a good friend at re:new and our head greeter.

I don’t have a problem with being busy. You look at an average day of Jesus’ life; it was probably busier than most of ours. However, it also contained margin, balance, and silence. The problem I have is that we make our business and our productivity into our identity. The problem I have is that we allow our business, title, and job become the thing that gives us value. We are willing to sacrifice...

did you also know that when you grow in your intimacy with God, you also make yourself vulnerable as well? Wait, what? You might be thinking, “I thought the closer we got to God the more protected we were. I thought if I walked close with God, he would protect me from bad things and hard things. I thought if a person followed Jesus closely bad things won’t happen to good people.” Not so! In fact,...
