Set Free From Fear

I am thankful for the opportunity I had to preach in our series Set Free.  Once we know the freedom God has for us we need to walk in ways that maintain our deliverance.  I believe the key to doing this is to feed our faith and starve our fears.  We do not pretend that fears do not encroach upon us, but we intentionally choose to stop feeding them so that their growth in our life is limited.
  
Feed your faith and starve your fear - there is freedom from that.  Thanks for listening.

The Right Field

I had the privilege of preaching about Ruth and Naomi in our series "Good Better Best". Sometimes we get a glimpse of God's best in moments that we don't work towards but we just happen upon.

 (Ruth 2)  One day Ruth the Moabite said to Naomi, “Let me go out into the harvest fields to pick up the stalks of grain left behind by anyone who is kind enough to let me do it.” Naomi replied, “All right, my daughter, go ahead.” 3 So Ruth went out to gather grain behind the harvesters. And as it happened, she found herself working in a field that belonged to Boaz, the relative of her father-in-law, Elimelech.

 Am I in the right field?
 When we are in the proximity of God we begin to be in the place to experience God’s best.

 Am I in the right field?  Thanks for listening

Blastus & Crispus

I got to preach in our series "Somebodies . . .Nobody Knows" about two men in the Bible that are only mentioned a couple times; Blastus and Crispus. Blastus was selfish, Crispus was not. Being selfless is a supernatural attribute that changes the atmosphere for good. Be like Crispus, not like Blastus.

Dangerous Prayers: Search Me, Show Me

Prayer does not align God with me, prayer aligns me with God.

During our Dangerous Prayers series, I had the privilege of preaching with my buddy Pastor Scott Palmiter.  We looked at Psalm 139:23-24 as a Dangerous Prayer that could be the catalyst for tremendous life transformation.  Thanks for listening.

23 Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. 24 See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
—Ps 139:23-24

Access

We wrap up our Echo series with the message Access.  The echo of Easter offered us the gift of access to God through Jesus Christ. Access means intimacy, not just benefit.  It was a great privilege to preach with both Pastor Scott and Pastor Gene in this message.

Thank you for listening.

Marriage and Relationships


This is the first message from our series Vivid Faith.  I am thankful for the chance to preach on how Vivid Faith guides and informs our marriages and relationships.

Our initial attraction, our first feeling of love is like a spark - a spark grabs our eyes but doesn’t help us see in the dark.  We can spend the rest of our relationship looking for that spark - when as believers we have been offered the light of the world, vivid faith that sees in the dark -we could try to find that spark again, which many do in the darkness - or we could follow the light of the world by which we no longer have to walk in darkness.  The goal of a relationship is not to recreate a feeling we once had. The goal of a relationship is to recreate and reflect the love of God.

Thanks for listening
