Songs for the Journey: A Song of Brokenness Psalm 51
Download this episode (41 min)
We have all made choices that have left us keenly aware of the fact that we have hurt another. The initial choice is bad enough, and yet the next decision after that choice is almost more important. In this psalm we will see the heart of one who is broken before God because of his choices. His decision to confess his sin and seek God's forgiveness is by far the best choice.

It sounds odd but when we follow Christ we are free to serve. In fact the one who claims to love God should be one who is compelled by that love to serve others.

Associate Pastor Joel Sisson wraps up his three part series this Easter Sunday. In John 21 and Acts 1, we find Jesus giving His disciples some much needed personal attention and direction following His Resurrection from the dead just before He ascends into Heaven. It is in this story, that Peter and the other disciples were reminded of the God given purpose for their lives. As we look into this story, we will discover the purpose for our lives that God has given to us.

Sunday, Apr 05, 2009New Hope in Christ - Palm Sunday
Download this episode (23 sec)
Due to technical issues there is no recording of this Sunday's Sermon.
Read Romans 8 and Memorize Psalm 33:22. Hope is like a ladder and we lean it on the things of life like our Jobs, Finances, Friends, Family, Children, Status, etc. WE need to Remember that we live in a hopelessly broken world, and when we lean our ladder of hope on those things our hopes will crumble with them.
Our Hope should only lean on the Unfailing Love of God that comes through relationship with Jesus Christ.

Associate Pastor Joel Sisson begins a new three part series today - New Life - New Hope - New Purpose. This morning he asks the question, "How’s your Life?"
Take a minute to read John 3 and Titus 3, and answer the question, "How would you define your life?" I think it is easy to forget or even neglect the simplicity that defines the functions of life. This morning will you allow God to renew your life in Christ?
