Pathfinder Church Messages

Most of us have an unhealthy relationship with food and fitness. Either we don’t eat well and don’t exercise, or we obsessively monitor our intake and output. We miss God’s big-picture intention, that our bodies would be healthy and strong and serve...

What Jesus brought into the world reaches far beyond the contributions of light, love, joy, peace, and hope he makes to us personally. He also has invited us to live these out with one another bringing “good will” to the world around us.

Peace is often seen as the absence of distress or violence, but real peace is all about what is present, it’s fullness. Jesus’s presence does not only bring an absence to our maladies, but he brings us true abundance and wholeness.

Life isn’t easy. Daily living reminds of the toil and hardship that accompany earthly life. Yet, regardless of our circumstances, Jesus brings joy to living. Joy is a defiant emotion, it can exist in the most hostile of circumstances. Not only that...

To be loved is one of the most wonderful things a person can experience. But in a culture where love is cheapened, it’s easy to lose sight of what true love looks like. The kind of love we need is more than a sentiment, more than an attraction, more...

In a time of year when the days increasingly grow dark, we all start to long for more light. Light is warm, safe, inspiring and yet light can also be threatening and exposing. The attractive and fearful quality of Jesus is that he brings light into...

With so much to do and so much to think about in our complex lives, we fail to take in the simple goodness of each moment of life. While playing re-runs of our day or wishing for (or dreading) tomorrow, we end up restless and unfilled. Ultimately we...

For most of us, generosity is something we feel like we should do, but in our calculations, we always imagine that we will run out of resources and so we withhold. But Jesus reassures us that it’s stingy people who run out of resources, not the...

Let’s be honest, material things are valuable. Even though there are MORE valuable things to chase than possessions, they still matter. God is not opposed to our need for physical things. Instead he provides them and encourages us to appreciate them...

Over the last 40 years of rising incomes, bigger homes, fancier cars, we are no happier. Instead, many of us are frustrated and disillusioned. That’s because having an abundance of possessions is not the way to be happy, but relationships are.

Contentment is not apathy. It’s not a lack of drive to achieve or succeed in life. In order to find satisfaction, you need to have goals and purpose, you need something to go after. But WHAT we go after makes all the difference between finding...

There’s no doubt God is at work at St. John. We‘ve prayed for it, and He has been faithful. The evidence of life change is all around us.

No one before Jesus ever talked about all people being a part of one community; even God’s own people prided themselves on being separate. Jesus redefined for us who our neighbor truly is.

How can a poor man of little renown or influence still be impacting our lives and culture to this day when most “great” rulers and kings are merely a sentence in a history book or entirely forgotten by history today.

People and churches who bring these three values together are the ones making a difference in the world.

As obvious as it may seem, you can’t make an impact on the world around you if you’re focused on yourself. However, God has a way of blessing your life richly when you live as if it’s not all about you.

In an attempt to please people, sometimes churches and Christians lose their foundation. In so doing, they lose the source of their power.

Some see being relevant as selling out but it’s the first step in making an impact in the world around you. You can’t influence a world that you’re not a part of.

It’s been said that a “rising tide lifts all boats.” That’s questionable in economics but certainly true with God. Whole nations have benefited from the faithfulness of a few.

When it comes to spending time with God, everyone does it differently and that’s okay. Just as every person is unique, the way we connect with God is unique.
