Sermons About Renewal
Lay Down Your Arms
We are all people who want to experience change. We want to change personally but also corporately as well. This week we looked at the key to change both in the life of Jonah in the city of Nineveh.

Psalm 126 : The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of
We all have dreams – and I don't mean the kind of crazy things you might dream about when you are sleeping – I mean your waking dreams – the mental picture of how you want things to be in the future - and those dreams are made of something – they might be made of the wrong things but we all have them. And sometimes those dreams become reality and we find ourselves struck with amazement and say things like “I can't believe this...Somebody pinch me.” The kinds of dreams I am talking about are dreams which can be characterized by 2 words: hope and vision. What I want us to do is two things: (1) Evaluate our dreams and see what they're made of, (2) Begin to dream kingdom dreams, to look to the Lord to make them reality and to commit ourselves to actively making them a reality.

Isaiah: Restoring the World (Isaiah 6:1-8)
Is the gospel about personal forgiveness of personal sin, or is it about the corporate restoration of the entire cosmos? Christians have lined up on both sides, ready to argue their case, but have failed to see what’s really at stake in this discussion. In this sermon, we will see that our longing for transcendence and our desire for restoration are ultimately met in the same way.

Living with Jesus at the Center
Why Core? What is the message? This message identified the major, over-arching theme of Colossians ("Christ in you, the hope of glory") and showed how it applies to various areas of life. The message was a call for a renewed commitment to intimacy with Jesus.

Making Room
The discipline of fasting is not one that has been widely practiced in evangelical circles but is having a bit of a “renewal” in our generation. More and more we hear people and ministries calling us to times of prayer and fasting. What is this practice all about? Why was it so important to the Jewish community and what can we learn from this discipline? In our text this weekend, Jesus simply assumes that we are a people who fast, and challenges us once again to fast for the right reasons and in the right way. Key Passages: Matthew 6:16-18 and Isaiah 58:6
