9-16-18 “Taming the Tongue…The Text…The Tweet”

Our words are a wonderful gift and a vicious sword. It is up to us on how we choose to use them. Will we be a people of encouragement or discouragement? Will we convey Truth or spread Lies? How will you be remembered?

9-9-18 “The Lord is the Maker of Them All”

Both Solomon and James share the theme of unity and respect in a world of diversity. Have we lost sight of this important reality in the world today?

9-2-18 “A Religion that God Accepts”

Christianity, as God intended it, is not interested in empty rituals or rote traditions. It instead, champions loving responsibilities, willingly accepted toward our neighbors and the entirety of God’s creation. Does that religion sound like yours? If not, what must you change?

8-26-18 “Meet Solomon: Welcoming God & Stranger”

7-29-18 “Finding Abundance and Feeding The World”
