Worshipping with Wild Abandon - July 23, 2006
Worshipping with Wild Abandon
Text: II Samuel 6
This sermon takes a look at Second Samuel 6, and looks at the lessons about worship that we can learn from Uzzah, Michal, and David. When we truly "worship with wild abandon," we are not concerned with protecting either God's reputation or our own, but are offering ourselves completely for His glory.

Upside-down, Backwards, and Inside-Out
Texts: II Samuel 5:1-10; II Corinthians 12:2-10; Mark 6:1-13
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is truly counter-cultural....upside-down, backwards, and inside-out. In this sermon, Pastor Jon Twitchell challenges us to examine our lives and our churches to see if we are simply following the conventional wisdom of this world, or if we are following the patterns set by Jesus.

A Matter of Life and Death - July 9, 2006
A Matter of Life and Death
Texts: II Samuel 1:1-27; Matthew 5:43-48
The story of the end of Saul's life forces us to confront questions about the Sanctity of Life. However, it would be good for us to remember that Sanctity of Life is not only about when life begins or when life ends, but about how we live our lives between birth and death.

We Need a Hero? - July 2, 2006
We Need a Hero?
Text: I Samuel 17:1-49
The story of David and Goliath is interpreted against the backdrop of superhero stories like Superman, Spiderman, or Zorro. David challenges us to not simply wait around for a "superhero" to step in and do amazing things, but to use the gifts that God has given us to make a difference in the world around us.
