What happens when two very different, very broken people come together in marital sex?

Because sex is so great, it has the potential to be truly wretched. It can draw people together, create new life, and allow us to reflect the image of God in a way that few other things can. Or, it can tear us apart, hurt us at the deepest levels, and dehumanize us in a way that almost nothing else can. In this message, we look at this paradox of sex.

In the Scriptures, we find a perspective on sex that is vastly different than you see in the media. A perspective that won’t let us get away with some puritanical repression of sex nor will it let us get away with the self-indulgent, consumeristic, individualistic, animalistic view of sex embraced in the Western world today. It's a perspective worth trying out. A perspective that I desperatel...

Ancient Rome decreed that Caesar Augustus was Savior of the world, but, in Luke 2, Heaven declares that Jesus Christ is Savior. At Christmas, Luke calls us to ponder which message we will believe.

When we do not see God in our lives is it because He’s not there? Or has he been right there the whole time & we just haven’t seen Him?

This text isn’t about sex. It’s worse. It’s about how our lives - even our "private lives," even what we do in our homes, even the things that "don't hurt anyone" – affect & infect the whole church family. It's about how my sins affect you and your sins affect me. This text will force us to ask: Why should you care about my sins (even the so-called private ones, e...

How did this medieval monk stand against Popes & Emperors to sta...

Is it right or is it wrong? Today, the Western world has almost no way to answer this question. (And the answer people give today might change tomorrow.) This message looks at how Christians in the West have attempted to answer these types of questions in the past... and how we might approach the pressing moral questions of our day.

How do we bridge the gap from faith to doubt? How do I reconcile what I know about God with what I know about the world?

How can we find what we truly long for in life? In 1 Corinthians 1:17-2:5, the Apostle Paul shows us that we can only find what we are really looking for when give up earning or achieving and look to the Cross.

In 1 Corinthians 1:18-25, the Apostle Paul describe the Cross as the logic underneath every decision you make as a Christian, under life itself. The Cross gives shape to our lives. It is the answer to our greatest questions. It is the way to wholeness, happiness, justice, a flourishing human life.
