Halloween? - Romans 14

October 24, 2010 PM
David Dawson

Audio

Halloween has become an issue of dispute in Christian circles. Some people feel that it represents evil and want nothing to do with it. Others feel that it is mostly harmless and allow their families to participate in some Halloween events. Some choose to fight the darkness and show a positive light. Others choose to avoid all associations with it whatsoever. Tonight, we will consider how the scriptures would lead us in responding to Halloween.

Furinish the Future - 1 Chronicles 22

October 24, 2010 AM
Centered Life #7
Dave Marttunen

Audio / Questions / Leaders

Dreams come from deep inside us. We can have dreams while we are awake and dreams while we are asleep. The waking, conscious and chosen dream belongs to more than our mind; dreams in this category are formed and reformed in a place the Bible calls our heart. Dreams have values, beliefs, desires, cravings, escapes, futures and more, all woven together in the secret place of our inner self. For this reason, dreams belong to our hearts. They can be good or bad; they can be nightmares based on fear, or visions based on grace, hope and purpose. Dreams are formed out of the stuff we feed our hearts. Good dreams require good stuff to form them. Today Pastor, David Marttunen will teach us from 1 Chronicles 22. As we study David's dream, we learn that owning our God given dream requires our willingness to "Furnish the Future". Our dreams reflect our hearts and determine what we will do with our treasure.

Solving the Mystery of Prayer - Luke 11

October 17 , 2010 PM
Mike Millard

Audio

Everybody knows about prayer. Most of us value and practice prayer: it meets our need when we feel helpless, afraid, uncertain, or lost; we know that God the Father takes joy in answering prayer. Nevertheless, many of us struggle with prayer for a variety of reasons, including busyness, longstanding unanswered prayers, or even doubt. Our conundrum is that on the one hand we consider prayer important, but on the other hand we confess our prayer lives are frequently wanting. Despite our best intentions and efforts we cannot solve this puzzle. That's because God alone can give us what we need for a satisfying prayer life - the Holy Spirit.

Act Out Grace - Matthew 5

David Dawson

Audio / Questions / Leaders

We live in a cynical culture, a culture suspicious of truth. We are gravely mistaken if we think we can preach grace without living it. People assume that words are like commercials. They may sound nice, but they don’t correspond to reality. People cannot hear the gospel if they do not see the gospel. If we claim to live lives centered on Christ, we must act out grace.

Become the Message - Galatians 5

October 10, 2010 AM
Centered Life #5
David Dawson

Audio / Questions / Leaders

As we center our lives on Christ, we become more like him, yet this spiritual growth is not easy to measure. It is difficult for us to see the movement in our souls in the moment of growth. More commonly we notice growth as we look back on our lives and compare today with last year. While it is important for us to remember last week’s message which tells us that spiritual growth requires help from others, this morning we will focus on the role of the Holy Spirit and the individual in spiritual growth.

Link for Life - Philippians 2

October 3, 2010 AM
Centered Life #4
David Dawson

Audio / Questions / Leaders

A centered life is a life linked to other people. God never intended us to live alone. You cannot obtain the full riches of God’s blessing in your life without the help of other people. Sound a bit strong? Do you find yourself saying, “I can worship God just fine by myself?” No… You can’t. Of course, we all can approach God directly as individuals and much of our worship is personal, but we cannot obtain the fullness of God’s blessing in this life, without community.
