My response to the Sunday sermon and more

Living Life as an Alien and Stranger

I have been thinking about a couple Sunday’s ago sermon, one aspect of it anyway. When we believe that we in fact are aliens and strangers in this world, we need to act accordingly.

Change of Pace

I am going to change thing up with regards to my It’s Monday series which has the intent of trying to respond to the Sunday sermon. I have been looking at what I have done, at the past three weeks of sermon notes which I hadn’t posted or made a response to. I realize that [...]

Although this sermon was pointedly focused on those of us who are part of Flatland Church the basic message is still valid for all Christians. Unfortunately, I pretty much lost all my notes that I took Sunday.

We have been looking at diving into ministry. So we end with platform diving. And here are my sermon notes:

Dive In: Holding Your Breath

Well, I missed a couple Sundays for this series. Good stuff that I have missed. Fortunately, Pastor Jeff did a good job at summarizing what I missed. To sum up so far, this series is all about getting involved in some sort of ministry for Christ. It is a call to us to stop sitting [...]
