Follow Me

Jesus' invites his disciples to "Follow Me." More than this, he invites them to get out of their boats, leave their families and (gasp) give up control of their future. Wow! Sounds like a lot to ask! Listen to the sermon to discover how Jesus does more than simply make demands...Based on Matthew 4:12-23

Come and See

We hear Jesus invite his disciples to "Come and See." What kind of invitation is this? How might we be called to invite others to "Come and See." Based on John 1:29-42

Knuckleheads!

Well, Saint Paul is upset! The church in Corinth that he founded has broken down into factions. And so, he tells it like it is, calling them knuckleheads! (1 Cor 1:10-17). 2,000 years later, we continue with all sorts of divisions in our church; multiple denominations and factions within denominations exist. What do we do with all of these differences?

New Road in 2011

As the wisemen (Matthew 2:1-12) leave the first Christmas, they are told by an angel to head on a different road. Many of us want to head into 2011 on a different road than the one we’ve been on. What can we learn from the wisemen about heading on the road God intends for us this year?

Jesus Family Tree

We might expect for only heroes of faith to be found in Jesus family tree. But instead we find notorious sinners, great sufferers and definitive outsiders. What does this mean? In the often unread first sentences of Matthew’s Gospel, we see Jesus laying out his whole ministry. Based on Matthew 1:1-18
