In the Beginning, Part 2 – Why Science Matters

July 26, 2010

This is part two of a new series that is different than anything we’ve ever done. We’re exploring some tough questions that have perplexed many believers and also given doubts to those outside the faith who are skeptical about Christianity: Is it possible to believe in the claims of both science and faith? What about creation and evolution? Aren’t they incompatible? How do we make sense of Genesis if the scientists are telling us it can’t be true? In this message, we affirm that God created the world, but we look at the scientific evidence for how he did that.

Follow the Leader, Part 3 – You are the Movement

July 5, 2010

We all want to be part of changing something about our world. Maybe you’re passionate about finding a cure for cancer, or protecting our environment, or maybe it’s closer to home, like improving the quality of your kids’ school or your neighborhood park. So how do you start a movement that changes the world in some positive way? Certainly it takes a great leader. But the people that show up to follow make all the difference.

This week we ask the questions, “How do movements that change the world sustain themselves?” After a movement gets started, someone has to sustain it. How does that happen beyond the involvement of the movement’s founder?

Follow the Leader, Part 2 – Counting the Cost

June 29, 2010

We all want to be part of changing something about our world. Maybe you’re passionate about finding a cure for cancer, or protecting our environment, or maybe it’s closer to home, like improving the quality of your kids’ school or your neighborhood park. So how do you start a movement that changes the world in some positive way? Certainly it takes a great leader. But the people that show up to follow make all the difference.

This week we continue our exploration of the start of the Jesus movement. Many people came to Jesus wanting to follow him but chose not to. Why did some choose to follow but others didn’t? Is there something Jesus can teach us about the cost of being something significant?

Follow the Leader, Part 1 – Where to Begin?

We all want to be part of changing something about our world. Maybe you’re passionate about finding a cure for cancer, or protecting our environment, or maybe it’s closer to home, like improving the quality of your kids’ school or your neighborhood park. So how do you start a movement that changes the world in some positive way? Certainly it takes a great leader. But the people that show up to follow make all the difference.

This week we begin our examination of the Jesus movement by looking at his first followers. How did these simple men take Jesus’ message and create a movement that would still be going over two thousand years later.

In the Darkroom, Part 3 – Danny’s Story

June 3, 2010

From time to time, life throws you a curve ball. The conversation you didn’t want to have. The news you didn’t want to hear. The phone call you didn’t want to receive. And when that happens, if feels like we’ve been locked in a darkroom with no answers to your questions. If God really loves us, why would he let this happen? Why doesn’t he answer our prayers? How will this ever turn out in any good way?

This week Danny Oertli, one of our worship leaders, shares his own personal experience in the darkroom through story and song.

In the Darkroom, Part 2 – Background Noise

From time to time, life throws you a curve ball. The conversation you didn’t want to have. The news you didn’t want to hear. The phone call you didn’t want to receive. And when that happens, if feels like we’ve been locked in a darkroom with no answers to your questions. If God really loves us, why would he let this happen? Why doesn’t he answer our prayers? How will this ever turn out in any good way?

When life throws you a curveball and you feel like you’re in the Darkroom, what do you do? Are you content to talk about God, or are you willing to talk to God? Listen in as we examine Job’s passionate exchange with God, and discover that his personal faith is better than his friends’ perfect theology.

The Good Life, Part 3 – The Way

May 3, 2010

The Good Life. Three simple words with very deep meaning. Just saying the words evokes complex thoughts, emotions, and desires. But what does it mean to really live the good life? How do you know how to get there? How do you know when you’re there? How do you stay there?

In the first two weeks of this series we looked at the book of Ecclesiastes and found out that just denying our desires doesn’t lead to the good life, and neither does just indulging our desires. This week we look at what Jesus had to say about the good life.
