Exegetical Point: Homiletic Point: Intro What do you believe in? And I don’t mean in the sense of coffee being better than tea, or Holden being better than Ford, or dogs over cats.

Our service today is stark, abrupt, inconsistent. It starts with us singing the regal 8th century hymn all glory laud and honor and just as quickly we sing the comparatively downtrodden Stricken Smitten. There is little else to say about this except that on this side of the resurrection we should know…

Trying to Make Sense of What Doesn’t Make Sense For a few weeks we have been teaching from what Jesus taught between the upper room and the Garden of Gethsemane.

One of the most spiritually healthy things we have done in a church since I took over as the head pastor is to begin to cultivate a disciple-making culture in our church.

Hook - Church and people’s perspectives It’s pretty obvious that the church has a bad reputation. And I think social media has amplified this.

As church goers, as those who refer to ourselves as Christians, have you ever considered what the purpose of your faith is? Have you ever taken a moment to consider the purpose of a church service?

“Never meet your hero, because you will always be disappointed.” We usually have some great expectations for who these people are and what they do, so it is a let down when we find out that they aren’t that different from us.
