Self-limiting

Self-limiting

No matter how much one may love the world as a whole, one can live fully in it only by living responsibly in some small part of it. Where we live and who we live there with define the terms of our relationship to the world and to humanity. We thus come again to the […]

Positional vs. relational authority

I find myself in a lot of conversations about leadership. Whether this is people trying to figure out how to mature into a leader or people who already have the weight of responsibility on their shoulders, leadership dynamics come up a lot.  A number of the conversations that I have had lately have been about […]

Acceptance and surrender are the same thing

And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual. The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually […]

Lost art of prudence

Lost art of prudence

For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:     a time to be born, and a time to die;     a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;     a time to kill, and a time to heal;     a time to break down, and a time to […]

EQUIP | God's Good Plan #3

For our third session of this series, we look at the topic of work and rest. From the beginning, God designed both work and rest to be part of rhythm of human life. The balance of these comes from following the order that He put in place and reveals to us in His Word.

EQUIP | God’s Good Plan #2

EQUIP | God's Good Plan #2

In our second session, we look specifically at God’s GOOD Plan for Sex and Marriage. This is one of the most offensive aspects of God’s plan to our sex-crazed culture. I want us to see that it is good.

EQUIP | God’s Good Plan #1

EQUIP | God's Good Plan #1

As we begin to look at God’s ideal on a number of topics, we must begin by confirming that the Bible is sufficient as a means for us to build a worldview on modern topics. In this first talk, we look at cognitive dissonance, riders/elephants, and how God’s reveled Word is the best hope we […]

Twelve graces

Twelve graces

Yesterday was the 12 year anniversary of Communion Church. Twelve years ago, 30ish people gathered at the Lincoln Theatre to pray, sing songs, receive communion, and hear the Word of God preached. We did the same thing again on Sunday (and will be at it again this coming Sunday). Much like birthdays, these yearly markers […]

Imagination is the key

Imagination is the key

The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law. | Deuteronomy 29:29 Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how […]
