The Like of God - Ordinary Time - Week 19
Philippians 1:18-30
We talked about God having the kind of love that means He likes us, too. But can we "like" God? Can we have affection for Jesus? What happens when we do?

Exodus 3:7-12; Acts 16:23-34
Sometimes we view salvation as a way to escape the hardship of life but the truth is with Christ's salvation even hard times are manageable with God. This does not mean we go out and find trouble but it does mean we have a new hope when we experience hardships.

Rescued - Ordinary Time - Week 12
Isaiah 56:1, 6-8; Psalm 67; Romans 11:1-2a, 29-32; Matthew 15:21-28 Once we're rescued, what do we do about the people who are still shipwrecked?
In this service we discuss some obvious barriers to helping rescue others, and some maybe less obvious ones.
Is 56:8 – The Sovereign Lord declares—He who gathers the exiles of Israel: ‘I will gather still others to them besides those already gathered.’

Rescued - Ordinary Time - Week 11
1 Kings 19:9-18; Psalm 85:8-13; Romans 10:5-15; Matthew 14:22-33
When the word "saved" gets so churchy it loses its meaning, might "rescued" do a better job? We start imagining a metaphorical shipwreck, and the Captain who rescues us.
