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

10-21-15 “Pastor’s Blast” – Living Patiently in an Instant World
In this passage, James focuses on things in life that cause us to be impatient or force us to be patient. Then, in his inimitable fashion, James gives us helpful ways to live patiently, even when circumstances make that very difficult.
On Sunday, we’ll take an in-depth look at WHEN it is important to be patient, and HOW to live more patiently when we find ourselves in those situations. We’ll also take a “long view” of what God is doing while we struggle to be patient.

10-14-15 “Pastor’s Blast” – Wise Living in a Tense World
This Sunday we continue with the seventh message in our series “Faith That WORKS!” and we’ll focus on James 3:17-4:12 and reflect on Proverbs 13:5-10.
In this passage, James focuses on the pitfalls of foolish living and the benefits of wise living. He exposes the causes of conflict, the reasons our prayers go unanswered, and why we often feel like God is so far away. In short, he exposes the roots of tension in our lives and in our world. Other than that, there’s not much here . . .
On Sunday, we’ll take an in-depth look at the roots of tension and uncover James’ advice for overcoming these pitfalls with three simple characteristics for wise living. So if you’ve already got it all figured out and have no tension in your life, don’t bother coming this Sunday . . .

10-7-15 “Pastor’s Blast” – Drive Thru Communication
This Sunday we continue with the sixth message in our series “Faith That WORKS!” We’re going back to the first chapter to focus on just two verses: James 1:19-20. This passage, though short, is packed with wisdom. We’ll also reflect on the wisdom found in Proverbs 10:1-10 to get an Old Testament perspective as well.
We’re going to delve deeply into this short snippet of scripture and we’ll use it to help us learn to better communicate with our loved ones. Oh, and we’ll also use an experience from the “Drive-Thru” at McDonalds.
Confused? Intrigued? Flabbergasted? You might be surprised by the simplicity and effectiveness of the “drive-thru communication” system. If you don’t come Sunday, you won’t know!

9-30-15 “Pastor’s Blast” – A Haven for Hypocrites?
I saw a great church sign that said,
“The church is not full of hypocrites . . . There’s always room for you!”
This Sunday we continue with the fifth message in our series “Faith That WORKS!” from James 2:14-26. This passage has caused a theological ‘food fight’ down through the ages. First because it seems to contradict the Apostle Paul’s theology of salvation ( that we are saved by grace through faith), and second because it essentially accuses Christians of hypocrisy.

James puts some Biblical Spectacles on us! Continue reading →
