The Quotable Jesus

It’s not a stretch to say that Jesus is quoted more than any other figure in history. Even self-identified skeptics, can’t help but quote Jesus. He had a way of putting things that comforted the weak, captivated the curious and infuriated the self-righteous. He took conventional wisdom and turned it on its head. His words cut through the petty concerns of selfish hearts and inspired many to pursue a better way of life. For nearly 2,000 years the words of Jesus have shaped the moral imaginations of people around the globe. From the Golden Rule to loving your enemies his words have provided clarity, healing and hope to countless millions. In the coming months we’re going to look at fifteen of the most quoted sayings of Jesus. But this will be more than simply an examination of the teaching of Jesus. Our hope is to uncover what it is about Jesus that has so captivated people for 2,000 years. And, has been the case for so many in history, to find that by meeting Jesus we will be changed.

One. New. People.

 We begin a new series on Paul's letter, Ephesians. It's a unique letter of Paul's as it's written to a larger network of churches, and not written in response to any one particular circumstance. In this letter we'll find that we are reminded time and time again that our hope is in the grace offered to us in Jesus Christ. Paul then reminds us of how we are to live in light of that grace. It's a book that we'll find is incredibly timely in current cultural context. Paul calls the church to unity, reconciliation, and continuation to become more like Jesus.
 
 

How To Be A Good...

 
Am I good friend? A godly parent? Am I the kind of spouse, employee, church member or neighbor that God wants me to be? How can I live out Christian values as a citizen of this community? 

At any one time, each of us have multiple roles we're asked to play. Balancing these can be challenging. Success is often elusive. And it can be difficult to meet the widely varying expectations that others have of us in these very different roles. While it's tempting to think this struggle is a modern one, people throughout history have faced similar challenges. In this fall's sermon series, How to be a good..., we're going to look to the ancient, but remarkably relevant, wisdom of the Bible to see what God expects of us in seven key roles. Together we'll learn how we can find success in each role in ways that honor God and benefit others.

The Life of David: Volume One

All good stories include similar key themes: love, war, courage, friendship, betrayal, loyalty, jealousy, loss, victory, defeat, character development. The story of King David, Israel's most influential king, includes all of these. We know more about David than almost any other figure in the Bible. What's impressive about David isn't his pedigree, but his faith and obedience to God, especially as that gets tested in the twenty-five years he waits for God's fulfillment of calling him as Israel's king. As we immerse ourselves in this first part of the David story-David's rise to power and Saul's concurrent decline-we can't help but find our own character challenged: making wise decisions when the stakes are high, working amidst severe opposition, and trusting, above all, in God's timing.
