Living Real - Feb 24, 2008
Pastor Dave Marttunen

The certainty of God's judgment can fill many with anger, fear, anxiety and sadness. But for the devoted follower of Jesus Christ who has thought this through, another set of emotions develop: hope, because justice will be done; purpose and confidence, because service advances God's coming Kingdom; and anticipation, because there is a New Heaven for which we now prepare. Living with the end in mind focuses the heart and mind of the devoted follower on the lasting purpose of God which fuels their heart, disciplines their action and motivates their growth.

Nothing's Perfect... - February 17, 2008 AM
Dave Marttunen

Have you noticed that picnics attract bugs, socks collect lint, and silver needs to be polished? Water replenishes the fields and erodes the stream bank. Words from the same mouth build up and tear down…. Wanting things to be better can either rock our world with disappointment or fuel our commitment to forgive and love as we have experienced in Christ.

Good Fence / Good Neighbour - Feb 10, 2008 AM
Dave Marttunen

Church discipline begins where self discipline ends. Church discipline in the Bible is never an appeal to the power of the Church, but always an appeal to the heart of the Church to live to the glory of God. Discipline is a good Biblical word. It describes the choices of a person, a family and a Church; in turn, it reinforces the healthy habits that produce God honouring outcomes.

Boundaries - Feb 3, 2008 AM
Dave Marttunen

The purpose of a fence is to define a boundary. Some things are kept within a fence, and many things are kept outside it. Everyone needs fences that mark the edges of their responsibility. A church like any family and every person must understand where its commitments begin and end so that it can face the endless demands on all its resources. Fences describe responsibility and empower those behind them to say no as effectively as they say yes. Today we will learn the value of having and keeping a spiritual fence.
