Today we are kicking off a series to start the school year called Kingdom Community. When I was building out the fall schedule in January I was really eager to put together a series like this to talk about what exactly it looks like to exist in the kingdom of God....

In our world today, God is portrayed in many different ways. It all depends on your context. Some would say that God is an angry, vengeful God who demands certain lifestyles and if not wields the rod of judgment and oppression. Others would say he is a God of love,...

Today we are going to talk about walking in integrity. The word integrity is related to the English word integer. An integer is a whole number, as opposed to a fraction. A person of integrity is someone whose life is unified by the truth, they are not two faced. You...

Here in 21st century America, we have a lot of places to look to when we need help. We are often without lack. Especially when it comes to basic needs like food, water, and shelter. But where do we look to for our greatest need in this life? Our greatest need is a...

We all thirst for something in this life. I am sure you noticed that we live in a dry and weary land spiritually in this nation. In that dryness, we often thirst for relief in some kind of way. Ways to be fulfilled, ways to feel better, whole, and complete. It could...

Happy Father’s Day! Today I want to talk about the ultimate Father, our Father in heaven. For some of us today is a great day. We have men of God, Father’s, spiritual or physical, who have led us on a journey toward Christ and loved us and been there for us.  For...

Two things before we start. One, this is for the one who is struggling. I think when people say, I am struggling with my relationship with God we miss the opportunity that that is. Struggle, by definition, means to make strenuous or violent efforts in the face of...

I want to talk about a not so good mom in the Old Testament and a very dysfunctional family. We have a lot we can learn from them, that way we don’t make the same mistakes they did. Our passage is Genesis 27, and our topic is the trap of deception.  Deception...

I want to talk about selling out. We all sell out for something. When we sell out on the things of the world we make a bad investment. Our life, the Bible says in James 4:14, is a vapor. And we get one short window to decide what we will sell ourselves out to. The...

Let me start with this, every single point in this blog starts with “Christ”. I say that not to make your note taking easier but because it just reinforces the point of this message: it all starts with Christ. The main idea of our topic is this: we are sent by our...
