Sermons About Culture
The Ecclesia
The "church" is coming under a lot of fire in the west. We're living at the transition point from a Christian world-view that predominated society, to a church that is standing at the margins of culture. Many voices are critical of the church (and often they are right) ... and what it most disconcerting is that many of these voices are coming from "within" the church herself. Yet Jesus promised that He would build the church! But what is the church all about? We need to grapple with these questions, and that's what this new series is all about.

The Armor Of God
In concluding this extraordinary letter, Paul sums up all of the power and blessings that come from the gospel in this extended metaphor of a Christian battling against the forces of evil and darkness in the world. He combines the image of a roman soldier with the Old Testament imagery of God himself coming to defend and fight for his own people. Christians are to wear this same armor so that they can resist the power of the devil and push back the darkness in our world today.

Sex In The City
In response to the pervasive culture of sex in San Diego, the Bible calls you to understand that this culture is produced and fostered by lust and selfishness. The Bible also offers freedom by calling people to live in love and light. This life brings freedom to individual people and to the culture itself.

I Long for Change!
In a world that so desperately needs to SEE the tangible expressions of the kingdom of God coming to reign... poverty eradicated, disease cured, wars ended, and relationships restored... we sometimes lose hope. Will we EVER see the powerful sweeping move of God in this way? Reminds me of Habakkuk 3:2 "LORD, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, O LORD. Renew them in our day, in our time make them known!" How hungry are we?
