Sermons About Perspective
A Different Community
The End in Mind: A Study of 1 Thessalonians Today, most of us struggle with keeping a long-term perspective in our day-to-day life. We’ve all been influenced by a culture that thrives on the instant gratification of our most basic needs, from our sexual desires to our financial goals to our relationship hopes. At work, we face the temptation to sacrifice our integrity in order to speed our advance up the corporate ladder. At home, we struggle to align our time usage with our stated priorities because daily distractions take our eyes off the ball. Very few voices in our world compel us to consider the long-view of life, leading us to miss the brevity of our years and the eternal consequences of our actions. Come listen with us as we explore the penetrating wisdom of Scripture with the intent to live every day with the end in mind.

Sober Up!
When the Teacher tells his listeners that a funeral is better than a party, he is calling them to be 'sobered up' by the reality of death and suffering, from a drunkeness fueled by distraction and diversion.

Needing a Vacation (Psalm 104)
Life is filled with all sorts of landscape. An all terrain faith is equally balanced for the breathtaking view from the mountaintop and the confusing trek though a cold, dark valley. It provides adequate support for walking in rough, rocky stretches and stability for the slippery spots. In this exploration of the Psalms, we will see that no matter where you find yourself in life there is an appropriate faith response to your life situation. Are you ready for the hike?

A Healthy Fear
Far from being an Old Testament relic, the fear of God is an essential part of a disciple's life, since it helps us guard our steps as we come to God in worship.

Walk in Grace
The Apostle Paul was aware that his days were numbered and with that came an even sharper focus of what was important in this life. In this wrap up of his second letter to Timothy, this great man of God leaves his final words. The pages are filled with exhortations to remain strong and to endure hardship, preach the gospel and press on.
