In order for you to take something at face value, you view the source as the authority... or at least authoritative enough. What is the authority for all thing spiritual, eternal, and divine? There was a time 500 years ago when it was the church and only the church. Today it seems that anyone and everyone is their own authority. Which is more true? Which is better? Neither. See how the Scriptures...

To forgive means to let go. And that might be easy to understand. It's just very difficult to do, especially when the pain is severe and the memory of it is very vivid. So, what are you holding onto? What did they say or do that legitimizes your bitterness? But our shoulders were never intended to bear the weight of those who have wronged us. That is why God, who has forgiven the immeasurable weig...

What do you do with conflict? It seems like everyone is somewhere on the spectrum between dealing with it and avoiding it. Whatever the natural tendency might be, we all have certain struggles with conflict, especially between Christians. We all have a lot to learn. That's why God's Word provides this great example and this wonderful focal point which helps guide our lives through conflict to the...

There are some habits and perceptions that influence our worldview, even without our knowing it. We can think about things in a way that we otherwise wouldn't or shouldn't. Such influences can be so pervasive that they leave no part of our lives untouched or unaltered. Our view of Christianity is no exception. The question is, do we even recognize it? This week we see how dangerous and overlooked...

Generally, we care about what people think about us, especially those that are closest to us. God does too. He is the one who gave us care and conscientiousness. He made us in his image and calls us his dear children. He cares. Yet, the question is posed so that his disciples of all ages can be clear about our confession. In fact, it is precisely so that we would be on the same page of who Jesus i...

There is a great divide between those who think that they belong, and those who don’t feel like they fit in. And this divide doesn’t just exist in school, work, or in social groups. This exists in the church. And statistics and surveys show that it’s getting worse. So, Christians can’t do nothing. And that is why Jesus shows his disciples of all ages how to deal with those who feel like they fit i...

God comes to you tonight and says, “Ask for whatever you want me to give you.” What would you say? Would you ask for something big? Something imaginative? Something life-changing? World-changing? What do you really want in life? Whatever that may be, the more profound question is why do want that? God wants us to consider why we want the things that we want, which gets to the heart of the matter —...

What is it like to truly live without fear? It has been said that the only difference between the person with fear and without is a pulse. When one considers the people closest, the things held most dear, and the areas of greatest value, it doesn't take long to honestly identify our big fears. But the Savior who walks on top of the object of our fears reaches out through his Word to provide solace...

When we face difficult times in life we tend to ask very serious questions. And we don't just ask them of ourselves or of others, we ask them of God. We hear, or maybe even echo the difficult sentiment that For example, we wonder why and how there is evil when God is both good and in control. Yet, the questions we ask are neither helpful nor well-founded. In this sermon we understand the type of q...

Who we are... why we do what we do... and how we stand before God, these are the issues that face every single person, whether they acknowledge it or not. One might insist that we are all generally good people. Yet, is that really true? Find out how we can stand before the mirror and before God with confidence and comfort in this week's message.

Just about everything is easier said than done. And when we encounter life's biggest struggles and most daunting questions what can be said is so easy compared to what can be done.
