Professing Christ
There is no love like the love of a parent for his or her child. God has such a love for us and would do anything for us. We find evidence of this love in Christ's willingness to stay on the cross on Good Friday and by this act, we are given the opportunity to be in Paradise with God in this life and the life to come.

Counting Sheep - September 16, 2007
Want to know what it's all about? Jesus makes it clear in the Parables of the Lost Sheep and the Lost Coin that nothing is as important as Christ's mission to seek and save the lost. If we are to be about Kingdom work, it must be our purpose to work with Christ to find the lost.

September 9, 2007 - Finishing the Drill
Jesus calls us to "finish the drill" as his disciples. There's no room for part-time discipleship and we should consider the cost as we set out to follow. *This recording is incomplete. We experienced some technical difficulties, so the first 2 minutes or so is missing. "Lessons I Learned from My Baseball Dad" is credited to Craig Groeschel, Pastor of Lifechurch.tv. Check him out, he's got good stuff!

September 2, 2007 - Table Manners
Jesus uses the table fellowship to tell us to do two things: Carefully and humbly choose your own seat (he who exalts himself will be humbled and he who humbles himself will be exalted) and make a space for others at the table. Jesus frees us from competition and from making a name for ourselves. Our name comes from the one who saves us.
