3-2-16 “Pastor’s Blast” – When it Helps to Discriminate
Yes, I know I’m south of the Mason-Dixon and that that word carries a lot of baggage here. Well, if it got your attention, then I hope Sunday’s message will as well. You see there is another pile of baggage that many of us carry because we don’t discriminate. Got your attention yet?
Sunday, we’ll take our fourth look at how “Bad Things CAN Make Good Relationships” and focus on two passages from scripture that are difficult to hear. First, in Matthew 7:15-20, Jesus focuses on ‘false prophets’ and how destructive they can be to our life and faith. Next we’ll look at 1 Corinthians 5:9-11, 13, (yes I know we just looked at this passage a couple weeks ago – It bears a second look) and discover how we might unload some of this baggage. Difficult relationships are often so because of the people with whom we are in relationship and we may not be able to fix them.
My hope is that you’ll begin to understand that there may be people in your life that have dropped this baggage into your life and are forcing you to carry a load that God did not intend for you to carry.
This may be the most difficult sermon I ever have to preach and perhaps the most difficult to hear. But I fear that it may also be one of the most important. I hope you will be at church on Sunday to hear it.

2-24-16 “Pastor’s Blast” – When it Helps to Confront
OK, so basically we are all a bunch of chickens. Most of us would rather run across the road during rush hour than have a confrontation – especially when it comes to those with whom we are in the closest relationships. We avoid confronting loved-ones who’ve hurt us because we can remember and we know how well it’s worked in the past. We’d rather not go there again . . .
Well, I have some “Good News” to share: It doesn’t have to be that way! I believe the Bible offers us a means to make it helpful for our relationships when we confront those we love who’ve hurt us. This Sunday we’ll look at Matthew 18:15-20 as well as Ephesians 4:14-15 and 1 Corinthians 13:4-13, and discover God’s method for successfully confronting the problems, and the problem individuals, that trip up our relationships.
Seriously! It really works and it’s a lot simpler than you might expect. I guarantee that you haven’t heard anyone preach a sermon like this one before. Of course, you might say that about any sermon I preach . . .

2-17-16 “Pastor’s Blast” – Unforgiveness – Bad Things CAN Make Good Relationships
It’s REALLY difficult to forgive! Especially if the one who wronged you is someone you trust deeply. Sometimes the hardest ones to forgive are the ones closest to us. They are, by design, the ones we trust the most.
What if I told you that sometimes it’s helpful for relationships if we are unforgiving? What if you learned that most everything you understood about forgiveness was wrong? And what if the “wrong stuff” was what you learned at church?! And what if that wrong stuff had devalued your relationships . . .
On Sunday, we’ll look at Matthew 18:21-35 (a passage right out of the mouth of Jesus himself), Acts 2:38 and 1 Corinthians 5:9-13, to see if we can discover how forgiveness is supposed to work and how unforgiveness can help our relationships.
Don’t believe me? Well, I dare you to join us this Sunday for a message that will give you a perspective on scripture that you may never have heard. Tragically, you should have probably heard it a long time ago! The good news is that it is never too late to start anew with folks you love.

2-10-16 “Pastor’s Blast” When it Helps to be Angry
Relationship are difficult! Even on Valentine’s day. Whether with our spouse, our children, our neighbors, our co-workers, or a variety of others, we seem to run into trouble more often than we avoid it. The problem is that problems happen in relationships! And few of us are well equipped to deal with them.
Well, in my usual “crazy California dude” way, I decided to look at relationship problems from a different perspective: Why cant the problems we face in relationships be turned into helpful things? I believe I’ve found direction, right from the mouth of Jesus, on how to use things that usually cause problems in relationships as helpful tools.
On Sunday, we’ll look at Matthew 5:21-22 (a passage right out of the Sermon on the Mount) and other Old and New Testament passages (Proverbs 29:11, James 1:19-20, and Ephesians 4:26) to find out how ANGER can be helpful for ALL your relationships. (I see that look on your face, but it works – really!)
Don’t believe me? Well, I dare you to join us this Sunday for a message that will give you a very different perspective on how God can help us to use Anger as a positive force in our relationships – all of them! I also encourage you to invite that friend or neighbor you’ve been thinking about. Continue reading

2-3-16 “Pastor’s Blast” – 7 Stumblingblocks – Lust
This Sunday we conclude our series on the Seven Stumblingblocks to Spiritual Success with a message on Lust. Yes, I actually said it: LUST! So, this will not be your normal sermon this week . . . Just sayin’. Needless to say, some of the content will require a PG rating, but what do you expect, we’re talking about LUST!
Seriously, lust is not a new problem, but it has significant impact on not only our culture, but on the Christian community as well. So, we’ll take a serious look at a serious problem, it’s effects, and how we can overcome it.
Join us on Sunday and we’ll look at passages from 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, Matthew 16:24-25, Romans 7:14-19, Philippians 3:12-14, and Romans 8:1-2 to see what scripture has to say about lust and we’ll discuss some of its effects on our lives and our faith. Then, we’ll focus on practical ways to overcome this problem that is crippling our culture and even the Church.

1-27-16 “Pastor’s Blast” 7 Stumblingblocks – Gluttony
This Sunday we continue our series on the Seven Stumbling Blocks to Spiritual Success with a message on Gluttony. Now don’t go thinking that this will be a message condemning fat people! Gluttony, as it appears in scripture, has a much wider context than just what we shove in our mouths. In fact, you might be amazed at the number of thin, healthy, athletic people who are gluttons (and I’m not just talking about “for Punishment”).
Join us on Sunday and we’ll look at passages from Proverbs 23:19-21, Philippians 3:18-19, 1 Corinthians 6:12, 19-20 and 8:8-13, and Romans 12:1-2 to see what scripture has to say about gluttony and we’ll discuss some of its effects on our lives and our faith. Then we’ll look at those same scriptures to find ways God can help us overcome the gluttony that destroys our lives and relationships. Continue reading
