Peacemakers: Give Glory to God - 1 Cor. 10:27-31 - Sermon 8/21/2011

Relationships are the basic, primary stuff of life - and they're hard.  They don't always go well - not ever since Cain and Abel.  This is the beginning of a four part series on how to do relationship, especially in conflict that inevitably challenges every relationship.

The first thing we do - always do - is Glorify God.

In invite you to stream or download the sermon and start to do some good work on relationships.

Spirit & the Kairos Moment - Sermon 8/14/2011 - Acts 4:23-32

The final message in the series of our dance with the Spirit that is the Christian life.  It's not just that we discern God's leading and are empowered to obediently follow, it's also that we're sensitive to the timing of God.  Always and everywhere, we are sensitive to the moments of opportunity to respond to the Spirit.

The Spirit and Discernment - Acts 17:11 on 7/31/11

The dance with the Spirit includes discerning when the voice is His - or when its the world, the enemy or just ourselves.  This is some good stuff on making that discernment.
