" The Israelite people were a people committed to memory.  They were committed to remembering the journey that they'd walked as a nation and as a people.  They had wired into the rhythm of their year certain mile-markers that they'd cross that were reminders for them....to not forget the story.  One of those mile-markers is called The Feast of Booths.  It would happen around late fall, every year....

" In 1918 the United States government finished the construction on Fort Knox.  Fort Knox is where you want to go if you're interested in stealing 5000 tons of gold.  It's the only place in the United States, or in the world, that you could do that.  But here's the problem---if you tried to break into Fort Knox, you would find that the sides have granite walls that are four feet thick.  This would...

" There are times when it's hard for us to believe that the authors of the Scriptures actually were real people.  That they lived real lives.  They had real struggles.  They had real joys and real successes.  The author of 1 John is a man by the name of John.  He was a real person who had some pretty unique experiences in his life.  He was one of the best friends of Jesus while Jesus walked the ea...

"Over the last few weeks we've been living in the parable of the Prodigal Son that's found in Luke 15.  We're in our last message of this series that we've been doing.  Remember, a parable literally means 'to throw alongside of.'  In this parable, it's Jesus taking the story of a father and his two sons and he throws it alongside of the reality of the world we live in and the kingdom that Jesus ca...

Freeway | Acceptance | Luke 15:19-24 | Week 5

Pastor Larry Boatright continues the Freeway Series, using Luke 15:19-24 to share about forgiveness.  

"Certainly we can relate to the feeling of pursuing freedom and finding ourself in cages.  That song (Cages) by NeedtoBreathe poignantly points that picture of the place we often find ourselves in.  It's the place that the prodigal son found himself in.  He believed he was on the pathway to freedom, but he found that he was actually on his way to confinement.  We're going to pick up that story aga...

We have all of the DNA of freedom, yet we often find ourselves in confinement.  Everything in us cries out that we were designed for something more and something bigger and something better, and yet, we look at our lives sometimes, and our lives defined by a fear that we can't get over, a guilt that we can't shake free of, and a despair that seems so prevalent that it defines our everyday reality....

"I always get excited about a new series beginning and this one is no different.  As I've had the chance to study over the last few weeks and look through, hopefully a fresh lens, the story of the Prodigal from Luke 15, it's once again captured my heart and reminded me of the story that we find ourselves in as human beings.  Specifically, and uniquely, as followers of the way of Jesus.  My hope is...

As we continue our series on Proverbs, this sermon was on generousity, drawn from multiple texts in the book of Proverbs.

STRETCH:  Faith and Fleece  1 Samuel 14:6-12, Romans 12:1-2 {Ryan was describing how making major life decisions, i.e., moving from California to Colorado, was affecting him--- emotionally AND physically.}   It was a Monday and I had my two kids in the backseat.  I had Ethan, then three, and Avery, one-and-a-half, and was driving them to preschool.  I drove right passed the preschool.  I thought t...
