Sunday January26: “Practice: Solitude (Encounter The Enemy)” Matthew 4:1-11

By Bill Flavin, Lead Pastor

You know what the voice sounds like.  The inner critic. That whisper that tells you not so nice things about you, or your spouse, or that tough project at work.  How do we go about working through that voice, as we seek to encounter God?  Jesus models for us in Matthew 4 some ways that we can work through those voices as we seek God.

Sunday March 30: Baggage: “Seriousness” Philippians 4:4-9

I (Bill) grew up assuming that seriousness is deeply connected to Spiritual maturity. The slow ballad worship song was more meaningful that singing Happy Day, that bowing my head in quiet, somber prayer, must be more meaningful than celebrating what God is up to. And yet…..One of the things scripture names that should be core to our identity is joy. That of all people those who love and follow God have more to celebrate, more to praise about, more to be joyful about than any other people.

Sunday March 23: Baggage: “Worry” Matthew 6:25-34

What you pay attention to, tends to drive you. In Matthew 6 Jesus invites us to worry less about the material world, and focus far more on the Kingdom of God. Not a theoretical reality, but a way of living that contrasts with much of the world we live in. Jesus reminds us that if our focus is on God’s Kingdom, His calling for us, His instructions for life, not the world’s, worry might take a backseat quickly.
