Do we recognize the value of life? To be fair, we must say that most of us actually DEvalue life on a regular basis. Genesis 1 tells us that as human beings, we are created in the image of God: we are not just animals or any other form of creation - we are uniquely set apart. When God breaths life into Adam, it is a personal, intimate interaction. In God's eyes, each person is immeasurably valuable, so valuable, in fact, that he chose to die for us so that we might be reconciled to him. When we pray for the ability to see ourselves and others through God's eyes, we are asking to have hearts broken for the people all around us, but also to understand how much God loves us individually.

Pushing Through
January 20, 2013
Picking up on last week's theme, Pastor Andrew reminds us that our hope in God does not disappoint us, because God's love never fails us. We persevere, pushing through all trials and hardships because of the faith we have, and the reality that God, as the focus of our faith, is always good, solid, dependable, and sure.

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.
