The Stewardship of Relationships
Stewardship is often equated only with money, but it is so much more. Christian stewardship is "the free and joyous activity of the child of God, and of God's family, the church, in managing all of life and life's resources for God's purposes." Certainly the gift of relationships is one of life's greatest blessings and most valuable resources. In a world where relationships with family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers are often fractured and me-centered, how do we reclaim God's original purpose and design for life? How do we reclaim the stewardship of relationships? The gift of grace and forgiveness in Jesus Christ is our starting point as He calls us to become like little children in order to enter the kingdom of God.

Sacred Joy: Philippians 1.3-11
As Paul begins his letter to the church at Philippi he reveals his gratitude to God for the church's commitment to the gospel and to Paul's ministry. Their partnership in the gospel gives Paul much joy as he prays for them. He has such joy and affection for the church because they are walking in the truth. What gives you the greatest joy? For Paul it is the work that God is continuing to do in his brothers and sisters in Philippi. No doubt Paul would have much reason to be down and lonely while in prison, but his circumstances do not affect his joy and prayers for these in Philippi. The gospel has such power as it reconciles sinful people not only to God, but to each other. The gospel is what holds Paul and the Philippians together even though they are apart. The gospel must take first place in both our relationships and prayers.

Just Walk Across the Room (part 3)
This Sunday begins week three of our four week “Walk Across The Room” journey. It has been an amazing journey, so many of you have shared with me the incredible stories of what it has meant for you to respond to the nudging of the Holy Spirit and leave your comfort circle, step out in faith, walk across a room and begin to develop a profound relationship with someone who needs to know that God created them, loves them and has an awesome purpose for their life. What a blessing it has been to hear your stories. This Sunday we will address the following consideration, “are there right words to use when sharing God’s story? Is there a right way to tell our personal faith story?”
