Let it go…let it Grow.

You see, maybe in order to do the Lord’s work, to produce the fruit of the Spirit, we must stop trying in our own strength. We must make the conditions right for growth. Is it possible that in order to see God grow what He desires for us to produce we must let it go and stay out of His way?

My Identity in Jesus

MyIDinJesus
We let our faith and belief be shaped by what we see around us and what we feel as well as whether this whole “doing” thing is working. We’re Americans after all. If it doesn’t work, why bother to keep trying? But being a Christian is far more than what you do. In fact, I’d argue that being a Christian has far more to do with your identity in Jesus than with what you’ve done.

Faith = Risk (Sermon)

Faith=Risk
We are addicted to sight. We are addicted to needing to know. We are addicted to control. Some of you plan way in advance. Some of you do tons of research before you even think about buying something. You might get nervous before you travel. You worry that something might not go according to plan. I don’t think a single one of you wants to live a boring life.

Behold the Glory of the Lord

beholdtheglory
When was the last time you let yourself be silent and in awe of who God is? When was the last time you were struck by the complete unfathomable and incomprehensible awesomeness of God? When was the last time you fell prostrate on your face before the Lord realizing how small you were and how awesome He really is?? When was the last time you trembled before our God?

You Only Live Once

I look around and I see many Christians who are living with little or no joy. We’re all so caught up in our goals and mental checklists that we’ve lost all happiness or appetite for this moment right now. We’re either trying so hard to make it to the next rung on the ladder or to make tonight the “best night of our lives” that we’re secretly depressed on the inside.
