Sermons

God calls us not only for His joy and our benefit, but also as a biproduct of His unrelenting desire to care for and reach out to even more of His children. We are His words to share His Good News with others.

God calls us to constantly grow, to advance, to mature. If I am not progressing, day by day, year by year, in my relationship with God and in each of the areas discussed in previous weeks, I have to a significant degree missed the call.

God calls His people to live in harmony, both with each other and, as much as it is possible, with the world around them. In as much as we are able to do so we reflect the very nature and heart of God.

God’s first call is both to and through other people. He invites us into communion with Him by being part of community with others. What does that mean and what does that look like?

Just like a dating couple comes to a point where they decide to tie the knot and get married, as our relationship with God develops we reach a moment where we are called to fully commit our lives to Him from that day on.

Any conversation about what we are called to, must always begin with who we are called by. Therefore we begin our new series by examining the loving and gracious nature of God, for it is the context out of which everything that follows will come.

Jesus shows how to build something that will last

Am I my brother’s keeper?"  In a word, yes.  Imagine how the events of the first few chapters of Genesis would have been different if the main characters had viewed the well being of their companions as their responsibility.  Now imagine how our story would be different if we did the same.
