March 17 2013 - Going Up to Do the Hard Stuff

Sometimes we hesitate when faced with doing things that we know will be difficult.  But Jesus gives us an example of what true resolve looks like, as he "sets his eyes toward Jerusalem."  He undertakes the most difficult thing that's ever been done…and he does it for us.  He gives us an example of faithfully moving into difficult things, and he also gives us his presence as we move into the difficult areas of our lives.

February 10 2013 - Red Letter Reset 6: Rock and Sand

At the end of the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 7, Jesus reminds us to build our lives on SOLID foundations!  Foundations are the load-bearing part on which the rest of a structure is built. Are we laying a solid foundation - or on one that's bound to crumble? (This message included 3 video clips - Buildings falling + 2 clips from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.)
