Sunday March 16: Baggage: “People” Matthew 5:43-48

By Bill Flavin, Lead Pastor

We live in an angry world.  Many news outlets share a little bit of news and a lot of commentary about the bad guys, the people who you should be afraid of, or mad at.  Much of our digital and now public dialogue takes on an aggressive, forceful tone. We are told to take a stand, to make our views known, to defend whatever it is we are to defend.  Yet Jesus invites us to love our enemies.  To love and forgive those who are different than us, and even challenges us that if we are not able to do that, we are no better than our enemies.

Sunday June 22: Abraham: Names, Detours, and Discernment Series: “Next Faithful Step” Genesis 12:1-9

When God steps into Abram’s life he has a big ask and promise for him. God promises to make a great nation out of his family. The ask: leave his lucrative life, pack up what he can travel with and head out that way. No clear sense of his final destination, just pack up, and start moving. Take the next faithful step, trusting that God will reveal the next step on the way to the first one.
