A More Excellent Way
David preaches from the classic chapter on love, 1 Corinthians 13, as the necessary foundation for our church. Love should be the context we use our gifts in, and the standard is the biblical love Paul describes so eloquently throughout the chapter.

Roots
350 degrees, 4 turns, 16 minutes = medium well steak hot off the barbeque. Give me a nice hunk of beef or chiicken, a good barbeque, the right spices and I am laughing. I know how to barbeque. I know what to expect when the conditions are right and I know the quality of food that is produced - delicious. For fear that I am setting myself up for failure the next time you are over for a bite to eat, work with me on this illustration. Rick Warren in his book "Purpose Driven Life" says "God is not just the starting point of your life; He is the source of it. To discover your purpose in life you must turn to God's word, not the world's wisdom. You must build your life on eternal truths, not pop psychology, success-motivation or inspirational stories." To me, that statement describes perfectly, Transformissional Living. Being established on a foundation that gives you the confidence to live the life God has called you to. Authentic, passionate and fun. It should be a life that comes as naturally as what you know you can do well, like cooking steaks. Key Passage: Colossians 1:9b-10

Weatherproofing Your Home
Because of today's weather instruments, we are seldom caught by surprise by violent storms. This, however, is not true when it comes to the storms that invade our homes. In this parable, Jesus tells us about two men who built similar homes. The only difference was the foundation of their homes. One man's home fell apart when the storms of life came, while the other home held together.
