    This adapted sermon of Rick Warren challenges us to participate in the 40 Days of Community and join a small group.

    What on earth are WE here for? That’s really the question we are asking over these 40 Days of Community.

God’s #1 reason for bringing us on ...read more

    Jesus prays for our unity as Christians so we can be a witness to the world that he is real.

    Many of us know the story after Joshua, things went well for a while. They kept their promise, they were devoted to following God and not worship other gods of the land, but it didn�t take long. After only one generation they went back to their evil ways. They lost sight of the promise they ...read more

     | 4,774 views

    In order for God to show up and display his power in our life and church we need to do a spiritual inventory and confess and repent of our sin.

    Today we have set aside as a day of prayer and fasting. We began our 24 hour vigil at midnight last night and it will go until midnight tonight (so if you just heard about it this morning you are still in luck). We are preparing ourselves, our church, our community, for a God visit during our ...read more

    The similarity of Athens to post-modernism and how Paul helps us in sharing our faith.

    Living in Modern Day Athens Paul, on his second missionary trip, entered the beautiful cosmopolitan city of Athens for the first time. Paul would have no doubt been astounded by the beautiful architecture. On a high hill overlooking Athens was the acropolis, the government building, and next to ...read more

  • Extending Grace To Others Series

    based on 3 ratings
     | 8,187 views

    We are an avenue of Gods grace to other Christians, even the ones who disappoint or hurt us.

    This story quite honestly is a troubling one to me. Can I say that? Is it okay for me to say that? The reason it troubles me is because up until this point in the book of Acts, when the church had a disagreement (and they had some very significant ones), they worked through them and came to a ...read more

  • True Freedom Series

    Contributed by Matthew Stoll on Jan 5, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,875 views

    We are called to live in freedom, freedom not to live for ourselves, but freedom to follow Christ.

    What comes to your mind when I say the word "freedom?" Freedom from slavery, freedom from hunger, freedom from poverty, or freedom from tyranny? Many of us would say freedom from sin. The Bible is clear when we trust in Jesus, and believe he took our sins upon himself on the cross and died so ...read more

     | 5,987 views

    Although unusual by todays standards, fasting unleashes the power of God in our prayer life.

    During the summer we�ve been going through the book of Acts. Do yourself a favor and read the book of Acts this summer to remind yourself about the power and work of the Holy Spirit. When the Spirit moves, things never remain the same, people are never the same, churches are never the same. ...read more

    Acts reminds us that we also need to be praying with others to see God�s power at work.

    Herb Miller (who was a pastor and now ministry consultant) tells the story of a nightclub opening on Main Street in a small town.

  • The Father's Lavish Love

    Contributed by Matthew Stoll on Dec 9, 2008
     | 7,562 views

    To help us understand the love the Father has for us so we will receive it (become adopted as a child in the family), return it, and share it (with our children).

    I remember the pastor of our church sharing one time that becoming a father was the greatest help for his theology, that is, for his understanding of God. He knew up here [pointing to head] that God loved him, but when he had a child he began to understand more in here [heart] that God has the ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 15,690 views

    Our prejudices, our doubts, our fears prevent us from entering the lives of, sharing Christ with, and extending grace to those who are far from God.

    As we read through this familiar passage for many of us, listen or follow along in your Bibles or pew Bibles, I want you to begin thinking about this question I will ask again at the end: is there anyone you know that you have thought, ‘this person is too far gone,’ or have written them off. ...read more

    Following the guidance of the Holy Spirit and being willing to get out of our comfort zone.

    A lot had happened to the church since where we left off in chapter four. Persecution of Christians broke out in Jerusalem (primarily at the hands of Saul), the Christians have become targets, so all but the Apostles flee Jerusalem. Doesn’t sound like a very good situation, people forced to ...read more
