So…I’ve been thinking. Yesterday, Adam asked us why and how can and do we love God with all of our heart, mind, soul, and strength. That’s really been on my mind a lot this morning. I’ve really been thinking through the passage in Galatians 2 where Paul says that we are crucified with Christ, and [...]

Last Sunday, July 12, Ryan taught from Matthew 20:29-34. In this story, Jesus and a crowd are leaving Jericho. Two blind men call out to Jesus, but the crowd attempts to quiet them. They call out even louder. Jesus stops and heals them. Then the blind men follow Jesus.
This is a great example of the [...]
Last Sunday, Geth taught us from several passages in Genesis. Geth asked us to consider the two-part justice of God as revealed through the Fall, the flood, the tower of Babel, and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. While these episodes demonstrate the violent punishment of God, they also point to the fact that God’s [...]
I taught from Matthew 20:17-28. In this passage, Jesus changes the way we think about leadership. We are to follow those who are serving. The greatest followers of Jesus are those who serve the most.
Thus, the path of greatness in the kingdom of God is a downward path, making yourself a servant of more and [...]
People in the Raleigh area occasionally email me and ask if they can meet with our church. Of course, anyone is welcomed to meet with us. Sometimes, they ask me, “What’s it like? What should I expect?”
Well, I recently met Jon. We had lunch together, and last Sunday he met with us. I asked him [...]
Last Sunday, I taught from Matthew 19:13-30. This passage is predominently about the rich man who comes to Jesus and asks, “What good deed must I do to have eternal life?” The man’s question demonstrates that he misunderstands how someone enters the kingdom of God, and that he misunderstands the focus of those in the [...]
So…I’m not sure if anyone else struggles with this or if it’s just me, but i was just doing some thinking. This past week and a half I confess that my time with the Lord has been very limited. As I was thinking on that I started to justify in my mind why that has [...]
Last Sunday, I taught from Matthew 19:1-12. In this passage, the Pharisees raise a question about divorce. Jesus answers by quoting two passages from Genesis (1:27 and 2:24). Then Jesus adds that the two people (husband and wife) become one flesh and should not be separated.
Scripture only describes three entities as multiple and yet one [...]
