Sermons About Poverty
Sowing and Reaping Shalom
The misery index is strong: a sexual predator at school, widespread cheating on exams, Osama bin Laden videos, disgraced Senators, cheating NFL coaches, not to mention a slow burning war in the Middle East. "We sure could use a little good news today" sang Anne Murray in her 1983 hit song. Indeed. But is the follower of Jesus called to more than hearing good news? Aren't we called to make good news? Sunday we will see that personal piety is not our only strategy in restoring God's shalom to the earth. Come, let us walk in the light of the Lord.

Wealth & Poverty

We must recognize not only the dangers of wealth, but also the great potential that wealth brings for caring for the poor and needy.
