A Prenatal Visit of a Different Sort — Dan Waugh (29 Nov 2015)
From Luke 1:39-56. Sometimes we get gifts that are meant just for us – a bottle of cologne, a new tie, etc. Other times, gifts are for the whole family – like a board game, or a basketball hoop. Imagine a gift that was for you, your family, the neighborhood, the whole town…now think bigger. […]
Thanks Be to God — Bob Whitaker (22 Nov 2015)

From Mark 10:17-31. When the rich young man encountered Jesus he asked a sincere question from the heart. Jesus gave him an honest answer. Certainly this is a story about the power of wealth, but there is much more to this encounter with Jesus. It’s not really about money; it’s about the heart.

A Sinner’s Faith — Dan Waugh (11 Oct 2015)
From Luke 7:36-50. Jesus’ openness to sinners has always made the self-righteous cringe. At the same time, it moves sinners to faith, opens the door to forgiveness, and engenders beautifully extravagant acts of love and devotion. Come see what God has for us in the heart-stirring gospel story.
