I'm right now wrapping up the sermon series on grace. I'd like to figure out what this next series will be in January. To do that, I'm going to come up with four or five really good ideas - at least that I think are really good ideas - and if I don't sense God really highlighting one of those, I will go to the elders of our church and my co-pastors.

God wants to help you find your way home.

From my perspective, most of my life has been dealing with the day-to-day, kitchen-to-bedroom-to-living-room-to-garage life with people. Most people are just trying to figure out how to love the people in their world, to love their God and to deal with some of these questions about God.

Regardless of the circumstances that surrounded your arrival, you are not an accident. God planned you before you were born.

What Christ does in us and through us will always be 'exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think.'

We (Christians) are always in the presence of God. There is never a non-sacred moment! His presence never diminishes. Our awareness of His presence may falter, but the reality of His presence never changes.

When God gives an assignment, he also gives the skill. Study your skills, then, to reveal your assignment.
