Worship

When I was a child, I had no problem believing just about anything about Christmas.

I imagine part of that was just being a child. However, I think there was another reason. Unfortunately, I can't quite put my finger on it.

What I do know, however, is somewhere along the line I lost it and I want it back. Maybe I'm not alone.

Join us in worship, these weeks leading up to Christmas. Maybe we can rediscover whatever it is, together.

Worship

Jesus said, " So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?" The Apostle Paul said, "give thanks in all circumstances."

That is easier said than done. When you look at the stock market, the troubles in our financial institutions, or the nation's auto industry woes, it is difficult not to worry. All of these things affect all of us in some way.

What should we be doing in the midst of all these things? Celebrating, of course.

Worship with us, Sunday, and find out how that is possible.

It just isn't right!

A guy who works for an hour in a vineyard gets paid the same wage as a man who has worked 12 hours in that same vineyard in the hot sun.

Indeed, if you analyze this story in light of worldly logic and values...it isn't right.

However, the way Jesus tells the story, it is right.

Worship with us, Sunday, and find out why.

We need your help...

Veterans' Day

Remember to say, "Thank you."

Worship

As Paul closes his letter to the Romans, he takes time to acknowledge some people for whom he is thankful. Some of the people on the list we recognize. Others we do not.

It is not important, however, that we know all the details about these people.

The important thing about the list is Paul showing his deep sense of gratitude for the many ways their lives have impacted him personally.

Worship with us, Sunday, as we explore the importance of being a "list maker."

2008 Presidential Election

Note: The following post is in no way meant to be a political statement. Rather, I thought it offered a good Christian perspective on the election...regardless of which candidate you supported. It was posted on RELEVANT's website.

"America Chooses Obama"

by Roxanne Wieman

Well, here we are on the other side. A watershed moment. An historic election. And we, the American people, have made our choice.

Barack Obama will be the 44th President of the United States, and the nation’s first black president. And in elections across the country, Democrats won their seats in the Senate. When Obama takes office in January, he will do so with a Democratic majority in both houses of Congress.

“The American people have spoken, and spoken clearly,” McCain told his supporters in Arizona after the results came in.But what about you?

Those of you who took our RELEVANT poll yesterday favored McCain: 47 percent of you voted for the Arizona Senator and 33 percent of you for Obama. So, are you disappointed? Will you hang your heads today? Do you fear for our nation’s future? I’m not so sure.

So many of us—members of the widely contested “young evangelical voters”—were divided about this election. Not just as a group, but even in our own hearts. I know which candidate I chose, but it wasn’t an easy decision. And, to be honest, I didn’t really care who won. I agreed with both. I disagreed with both.

What I’m wondering now is where do we go from here?
