It is hard to believe but today is the last conversation on this journey we have been on to freedom and courage. For me personally, I will be sad to see this series go because it has challenged me, and helped me so much, and just seemed to hit so many of us here in the Spiritual Family at the right time, with the right concepts to help us on this journey we call life. The goal was . . . Read More »

4 Ways We May Gain The World But Lose Our Souls (Part 1)
This summer, we have been studying the questions Jesus asked in Scripture. More than studying them, we are trying to personalize them for ourselves. We called this series The Simple Questions of Jesus because so many of these questions are simple to hear, but we are learning that “simple” doesn’t mean easy. It’s one thing to hear or read a simple question, but it’s not so simple to answer them for ourselves! But it is so good and . . . Read More »

Do Something! Learning From Jonathan’s Daring Plan
Over the last few Sundays that I have been with you, we focused on the concept of Spiritual Maturity. We talked about what it is, how it is measured, (which is by our ability to love others) and I believe most importantly we discussed the idea that Spiritual Maturity doesn’t just fall in your lap. It’s not just given to you. Living and loving like Christ challenges us, goes against our human instincts, and just isn’t easy, and . . . Read More »
Buying a Valentine’s Day Card For Your Spouse While Having an Affair
I want to give you a great quote. “Preach the gospel at all times and when necessary, use words.” Saint Francis Sam gave us that quote. If you were here last week, you heard Sam share that quote. Sam was talking about how you share Jesus with those you love. It was so helpful because Sam made clear who does what. It’s our job to plant the seed and build relationships. The Holy Spirit’s job is to move . . . Read More »
