Sermon 9/25/2011 - Matthew 1 - Genealogy and Christ

We're going to spend some time in Matthew over a long haul.  We'll allow ourselves to get distracted for short periods of time here and there, but we'll come back to this until we get through.  In this sermon, we see the themes and message of the book in the midst of a genealogy. The meaning of it all is that Jesus is the Messiah and God of all.

Sermon 9/18/2011 - Making Connections - 1 Cor. 9

We were born to be in relationship.  Christ has paved the way for it to happen.

Sermon 9/11/2011 Peacemakers: Be Reconciled - Mt. 5:24

Peacemakers: Gently Restore - Matthew 18:15-20 - Sermon 9/4/2011

This is the key passage in dealing with conflict.  Conflict is an opportunity to come together in a deeper way.  It's exactly what Christ has done for us.

Peacemakers: Get the Log Out Of Your Own Eye - Matthew 7:1-6 August 28, 2011

The second in the Peacemakers series.  Before we deal with others, we deal with ourselves.

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.

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.
