Sermon: “Where is Your Antioch?”

This is the fifth sermon in a six part sermon series on discipleship. I preached this on July 20th. The text was Acts 13: 1-5 People always seem a little bit surprised when they get in our car and discover that we have not just one but several Johnny Cash CDs. They are [...]

Sermon: “Who is Your Timothy?”

This is the fourth sermon in my six part sermon series on discipleship. I preached this on July 13th. The text was 2 Timothy 1: 1-7; 2: 1-7 I started my sermon by showing this video: I love that video. The expression on that kid’s face at the end is priceless. [...]

Meaty Monday: Our Flood Recovery

Our Moral Obligation?

I posted this on another forum, but since it is an important topic, I post it here too for discussion:

With democrats considering pushing for a partial pull-out from Iraq, our local newspaper ran an article this morning that had a number of quotes from the 'public' about Iraq. Most folks quoted seemed slanted toward a complete pull-out.

From the beginning I've said we never should have gone to Iraq in the first place, but now that we are there, is it morally responsib… Continue
