“Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you….Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.“ (John 13:14-15, 17, NIV) Being humble isn’t the […]

“The Simplicity of the Christian Life” (2 Cor. 11:3-4)

Life is complicated. Christianity – that is, Biblical Christianity – is refreshingly simple. It is whole-hearted devotion to Jesus Christ …
Here’s the attitude He wants for us: Does Jesus like something? —Do more of it. Does something displease Him? —Do less of it.

“The Only Opinion that Matters” (2 Cor. 10:12, 17-18)

If you’re still caught on the comparison treadmill and have noticed you’re not getting anywhere, you might consider getting off. Comparison involves outward struggle to appear better than others and inward struggle at not measuring up. Neither is worth the effort. If you could convince everyone, including yourself, that you were best at everything, you wouldn’t rise one little notch in God’s sight.

“A Life of Giving” (2 Cor. 9:6-11)

The richness of your life is not based on how much you get but on how much you give. The Christian life is a life of giving – and not just of money but of all God’s gifts. Some of you do this so well. Thank you. Please be aware that God has noticed.

Missing the Point

“Then Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.” At once the man was cured; he picked up his mat and walked. The day on which this took place was a Sabbath, and so the Jews [Pharisees] said to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath; the law […]

“The Secret of Joy” (2 Cor. 8:1-4)

You’re straining under burdens too heavy to bear on paths too dark to see with no reasonable hope that your circumstances will improve. And that’s precisely why you need joy: because it is unrelated to your circumstances.

“Beyond Ought” (2 Cor. 6:16–7:1)

Christianity was never meant to be the drudgery of having to obey God, but the delight of getting to obey Him. We can move beyond the oughtness of obedience into the privilege of it. We do that by…

How to Pray

““This, then, is how you should pray: “ ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name…” (Matthew 6:9, NIV) We started a new sermon series last week and we’re looking at the spiritual disciplines Jesus taught his disciples. One of the more important ones is prayer. When Jesus was asked by one of the twelve: […]

“The New You” (2 Cor. 5:15-20)

You are not stuck with the old you forever. Some of the best news in the gospel is this: “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, and see, the new has come!”

We Have This Treasure… (2 Cor. 4:6-7)

You and I have a treasure within us of greater value than we can comprehend …so dazzling is the glory of this treasure that, when we focus our eyes on it, we are scarcely aware of our own insufficiencies.

God Has Made You Adequate (2 Cor. 3:4-6)

Most of us realize we’re inadequate for some of the challenges of our lives … Though none of us is adequate in ourselves, we DO have an adequacy beyond us.
