Give Me Back My Crayons
It is the earliest writing in the New Testament, written about 51 C.E., still in the first generation after the resurrection of Christ and that first Pentecost. But already, Paul is warning them: "Do not quench the Spirit." [I Thessalonians 5:19] Oh, how often have we done just that! And it's time to stop it! You were created in the image of God and the Holy Spirit is here, ready and waiting, to recreate your life, to make of you a great work of art. The problem is that we keep giving away our crayons or letting others take them away. But when we do that, we stifle the Spirit inside of us. We murder something that God made for us.
Simple...Significant
There are two simple truths every follower of Jesus must know. In fact, these two truths are so significant that even people not following Jesus ought to know them.

New Heaven and New Earth
The ultimate answer to the problem of suffering and evil is God making all things new.
Reconciliation and New Creation
We have all experienced broken relationships that need to be reconciled. In today’s passage, we consider the need to be reconciled to God and the result of being reconciled to God. The result is nothing short of astounding: being part of God’s New Creation! One day, the Lord will reconcile all things to Himself and there will be eternal shalom. Consider how this ought to make us think and live today…
Gospel-Shaped Identity
Has your identity been shaped by “identity distortions?” Can you say “I am who God has declared me to be!”
You Are A New Creation*
We as a church believe that when we turn our lives over to Christ, we become a new creation and in a very real sense, the old “self” has passed away. But the qualifier to this, that each of us knows well, is that our old ways, habits, and personality faults linger on, sometimes in powerful ways that seem counter to our belief that we are now “new.” What does it really mean to be new in Christ? If I am new in Christ, why don’t I feel or act new? What can I do about the baggage that seems to keep me from being a new person? This message examines key Scriptures dealing with the fact that sanctification is ongoing, not instantaneous.
