Sermons About Restoration
God's Compassion And Our Mission
It is clear from Luke 15 that religious people sometimes fail to understand what Christ is really about. Verses 1 & 2 say: Now the tax collectors and "sinners" were all gathering around to hear him. (that is, Jesus) 2 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, "This man welcomes sinners and eats with them." They didn't get it. They didn't understand that God wants people who are far from him to be found and restored to Him. That's what Jesus was all about and we need to be like him.

Communication Craziness - Sustainable Marriages #2
What do you want for your marriage? Want some peace? Want to feel closer? We all want a marriage that works, but let's face it, things don't always go as smoothly as we'd like. When spouses aren't in synch, things can get crazy. How do you break the conflict cycle when it gets rolling? Studies show that communication is enormously significant in developing marital stability, so how do we grow in our talks with one another? We want to experience sexuality that is beautiful and God-designed for our enjoyment. We want to love more deeply at the end than we did at the beginning. We want to pass along a family heritage of love and respect to our children. Join us as we explore what God's Word says about making marriage last. [Note: Some material taken from Dr. Emerson Eggerichs's book Love and Respect.]

Doing Good
Paul describes the Spirit-led community, which practices love, through a series of commands. We are able to live this way because of what Christ has done for us, and is doing in us. He also works thru us to develop healthy community.

Conflict and Community:
As Peter’s faith crumbles under social and religious pressure, he denies Jesus three times and he invites us to ask ourselves, how do we respond when we fail God or other people? How do we learn the balance between not denying our new identity in Jesus and not becoming overbearing or insensitive to others with regards to matters of faith?

Freedom-Faith Relationships - Galatians #13
What makes the Christian faith like no other? The good news of God’s grace is the bold claim that we are accepted by God not because we “follow the rules” or “fit the mold” but because Jesus gave his own life to rescue us. But many of us are still trying to earn God’s love with our performance rather than living in the freedom that Jesus has provided for us. In Galatians, Paul warns against the danger of religious systems that value people on grounds of accomplishment or status or cultural agreement. These things lock away our freedom in the futility of legalism, moral superiority and cultural arrogance. Focusing on either the racial/ethnic/cultural superiority or the moral successes of good works denies the gospel and divides Jesus’ followers. Join us as we explore how God offers us true freedom in Jesus and how the freedom of Christ transforms our hearts, our minds and lives.
