Love Does: Love Acts The Gentleman

January 15, 2019

Can you imagine that if every time you made a mistake, you had a Christian get in your face and tell you how badly you blew it?  The sad reality is that there are many people who never darken a church door today because they were hurt by the very people who should have understood them and loved them.  Love acts the gentleman by being understanding of people.

Love Does: Loving Under the Influence

December 4, 2018

God created you to test positive for L.U.I.  Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.   It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.  It always protects, always… Read More »

The Story of God: Deep Darkness

September 11, 2018

Is there something you are holding back from God?  Is there a sin you’re treasuring, that you won’t let go?  Is there a resentment you’re harboring?  Is there an ungodly habit that you’re not giving to God?  Jesus rescued you from the dominion of darkness, but is there a part of you still walking in darkness?  God doesn’t want just part of you.  God wants all of you.  He wants you to escape the darkness.

The Story of God: A Story To Tell

September 4, 2018

We are linked to this same story… The same God who delivered Israel by His mighty hand is the same God who delivers us.  God delivered us by the mighty hand of Jesus: Jesus came to rescue us from this present evil age.  By His death he not only forgave us, but rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of light.  This is what Jesus did.

Our Shared Calling, Part 3

December 24, 2017

Whether you realize it or not, people are watching your life closely: every move you make, every step you take. The picture here is one of intense and prolonged scrutiny. Your life is their science project and they’ve got their microscope focused on you. They are watching you with a purpose: So they can accuse you of doing wrong; so they might discredit you, slander you and even ruin you. But they’re not just looking for ways to accuse you; they are also looking to see if your life measures up to what you believe – they’re looking to see if Jesus is real – in your life. And what they’re looking at is how you live your everyday life.

Our Shared Calling, Part 1

December 24, 2017

  This world is not your true home. God has rescued you for something so much bigger than the American Dream. He has rescued you for His Kingdom Dream.   And once that begins to sink in, once you begin to grasp the implications of what He rescued you FOR … then you will begin to see LIFE differently. You will begin to see TIME differently. You will begin to see PEOPLE differently.

Rock Springs Family Values: A Kingdom Mindset

October 24, 2017

So when Jesus said, “Blessed are the poor in spirit” – for those who knew they had nothing to bring to the table spiritually – this was good news.   For to be blessed by God meant that God wanted to pour out His favor on you. This was good news because anyone who is spiritual bankrupt knows that they are totally dependent on the mercy of God. And so Jesus says, “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of God.” “Favored are you who know you are spiritually bankrupt, for God is giving you life as it was meant to be. Life under the loving reign and rule of God.” How cool is that? God rewards the humble, not the proud, with His kingdom.
