What’s the Point of Judgment
Introduction Two weeks ago Pastor Brent taught how the point of Jesus’ life was to innaugarate the Kingdom of God on this earth and give us a glimpse of what the Kingdom will look like. Last week he taught that the point of Jesus’ death was to give us victory over sin and death. Today I’ll be answering the question: What’s the Point of God’s Judgment? In saying that, I know some of you might be looking to make an…
Summer School: Discipline
Introduction Today is our final day of Summer School! That’s right, for many of our kids, the school year starts back up this week and we can finally put some routine into our schedules. And it also means today’s message wraps up all that we have taught you over eight weeks of Summer School. To recap, we began by saying Proverbs isn’t a how-to book, it’s a how to BE book. Its not just a book of pithy, fortune cookie…
Something Worth Giving Everything For
Introduction As we approach the end of July, we approach the end of another ministry year. And this has been a great year. It seems very evident to me that God has been leading us as a church, and God has been blessing our efforts over the last year. It’s not that he owes us because we are something special, but because our desire has been to find where he is working and join him there and to glorify His…
Summer School: Laziness
Introduction Days off are great. In fact, wouldn’t it be nice if every day was a day off? That’s what retirement is like, right? I kid — I hear from most our retired folks that life after work seems busier than when they had 40 hour a week jobs! But back to lazy days off — as good as it sounds to some of us to have nothing to do and nothing to work on day after day, we need to…
Summer School: Pride
Introduction Today we are going to talk about pride — something for which I am the most qualified to speak about. I’ve been an expert on pride for most of my life. I can remember my dad talking to me about my constant bragging at a very young age. Fortunately, because I’m amazing at everything I do, over the years I have been able to uproot the pride from my life and am now one of the humblest people I’ve ever…
Dialogue: God (Still) Speaks
One-Sided Conversation Today I’ll be continuing our series called Dialogue: Recovering the Lost Art of Communicating with God. Now to begin, I want to tell you a story about a recent conversation I had at Caribou Coffee earlier this week. I went to Caribou on Tuesday to start my day with time reading and praying. I wanted to get a start on this message and just start my day off on the right foot. I got my coffee, sat down…
Dialogue: Can I Ask God for That?
Sermon Podcast Audio Your browser does not support the audio element. Introduction Today we’re going to continue our series on prayer as a dialogue. I hope with this message to encourage your prayer life – and to challenge you to pray like you never have before! Last week, Pastor Brent kicked off our new series by answering the question: “Does prayer change things?” Because if prayer doesn’t really make any difference in our lives, then it’s really silly to spend…
