Sermon | ”Show & Tell” | October 15

Show and tell is often a school highlight for many children. It's an opportunity to both show and tell others about something which has significant meaning in one's own life. Like it or not, those times of show and tell influenced upcoming birthday and Christmas lists. Show and tell may still exist in elementary schools, but it is no doubt alive and well on YouTube. Our greatest kingdom influence is nothing more than showing and telling others what God has done in our lives.

Sermon | ”A Lot of Little” | October 8

A bustling crowd, hungry after a day of listening to Jesus, is left in the hands of disciples. 'You feed them,' Jesus says. How could the disciples, with little food, and even less money, find a way to feed all these people? The only provision is the bread and fish of a young boy. But, what could it do? Such meager offerings for such a large task. We often wonder what kind of influence we could possibly have in the lives of others. Who are we? We have so little knowledge, so little expertise, so little to offer to the mission of Jesus. But, when we take what's in our hands, and place it back in the hands of Jesus - He will do exponentially more with it that we thought possible.

Sermon | ”People of Peace” | October 1

Jesus has declared that the harvest is already ready - there are loads and loads of people who are ready to hear the good news of Jesus and His kingdom. And Jesus is calling each of us to be working in this harvest! Yet, many do not actively participate in the harvest because they fear it's too big a job for them. But, what if, actually, the job is smaller than you think? And what if, God has already prepared people for you? Jesus is guiding us to see who our people of peace are - so that we can bring kingdom influence.

Sermon | ”In the Circle” | September 24

Filled with love and power, having walked with Jesus, we are sent out to the places where we live, work, and play in order to walk with everyday people...every day. However, for lots of Jesus followers, they are fearful and intimidated by this work - often claiming they don't know enough. But what if walking with everyday people everyday is as simple as being present in someone's circle? Being present in their story. What if walking with everyday people every day is actually quite simple? What if it's easy and light? Jesus invites us to walk like he did - to be fully present in the stories of others.

Sermon | ”Unforced Rhythms” | September 17

When Jesus invites people to follow Him, He's inviting them to walk with Him...wherever it leads. And here's the crazy thing - when we walk with Jesus, we are invited into an abundant life - a life full of love - both in receiving love and giving it away. When we walk with Jesus we are invited into a life of power - not of position. When we walk with Jesus, we are filled with His love and His power so that we can walk with everyday people every day.
