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.

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.

The Good Life, Part 2 – Some is Good; Is More Better?

April 25, 2010

In week one we concluded that denying our desires wasn’t the way to find the good life. God created good things in life to enjoy, and that enjoyment is a gift from God. But if some is good, does that mean more is better? Should we indulge our desires and chase after all the things we want? This week we’ll continue looking at Solomon’s life through Ecclesiastes to find out what happened when he indulged himself in pursuit of the good life.
