The Tale of Three Temptations

February 26, 2012

During this first Sunday of Lent, we are sacrificing something meaningful in observance of the sacrifice of Christ. Pastor Andrew takes us back to the temptation Christ experienced in the wilderness. Like us, Jesus gave up meaningful things for 40 days in order to increase His dependence on the Father, culminating in the temptations Satan threw at him at his weakest moment. We explore these temptations in this message, and see how they apply to our lives today.

Love is Sacrifice

February 19, 2012

Just as King David wouldn't offer to God what cost him nothing in 2 Samuel 24, Pastor Andrew asks that we consider how we love. Do we love sacrificially? Do we give of ourselves in ways that cost us? Sacrificial love is an essential part of our walk as Christians.

Loving Dangerously

February 12, 2012

Pastor Andrew talks about how we are to love without expecting anything in return. The evidence in our lives of love is the evidence of the change in our lives that Christ makes. We must have a practical expression of love because love prompts action. This is the love that opens us up to injury and heartache. Dangerous love is the kind of love Christ offered. It is the kind of love the world needs.
