Got Life? Just Do It! (pt. 3 of 4)
Texts: I Chronicles 16:23-33; Acts 4:32-37; Matthew 25:14-30; Proverbs 11:24-28; Leviticus 27:30; Malachi 3:8-10; Luke 6:38; II Cor 9:6-11
Part of living an "Abundant Life" is being freed from the bondage of greed and materialism. Pastor Jon looks at several passages of scripture, and challenges us to move beyond a legalistic approach to tithing, toward a New Testament, grace-filled vision of being generous with God's resources.

REPEAT: Crash Helmets & Life Jackets - January 25, 2009
Pentecost - Crash Helmets & Life Jackets
For the next 4 weeks, we bring you some of our favorite messages from 2006. Regular weekly sermon podcasts will resume on February 22, 2009.
Originally Published: June 4, 2006
Text: Acts 2:1-41
Pentecost Sunday provides an opportunity to consider the great power of the Holy Spirit available to the Church. Unfortunately, we are often ill-equipped to tap into God's power, and would be surprised if we encountered the sort of transformational worship that took place on that first Christian Pentecost. Theologian Annie Dillard suggests that our ushers should distribute crash helmets and life jackets in case the Almighty chose to show up at church.

Got Life? There Is No Off Season (pt. 2 of 4) - January 20, 2008
Got Life? There Is No Off Season (pt. 2 of 4)
Texts: Psalm 46; Ecclesiastes 3:1-14; I Peter 4:1-11; Mark 11:12-21
We continue our journey through the "Got Life? Live It!" series by taking a look at the relationship between Abundant Life and our time. Pastor Jon looks at the relationship between the fig tree and the temple (Mark 11) to show us how "There Is No Off Season." As you listen to this sermon, may you be challenged by the truth that all time is sacred time--all time is God's time.

Got Life? Live It! (pt. 1 of 4) - January 13, 2008
Got Life? Live It! (pt. 1 of r)
Texts: Psalm 16:7-11; Deuteronomy 30:11-20; John 10:1-11
Pastor Jon begins a four-week series exploring what it means to us when Jesus said "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” Today, he takes a look at several deficient metaphors which might be used to explain God, or our relationship with God. We then take a look at the law, as given to the Israelites, and how it was given in order to bring life to the people. As the fulfillment of the law, Jesus comes in order that all people might have abundant life!
