Glad you asked....(2012 Summer Series)

Picture

In this series, we will be addressing YOUR questions.  I asked you what you would like me to preach on and you asked some great questions: what is faith?  what place has humor in a church service?  what has Pollyanna to do with Jesus? and more.  Throughout the summer, these questions will be addressed in a variety of ways.  

     



September 2, 2012: "What Does Faith Have to do with My Job?" Genesis 3:17-19, Colossians 3:12-4:1.

July 8, 2012:   "Pollyanna and Jesus" Psalm 104, Romans 1: 18-25, John 16: 20-24, 29-33 .  This 3-part sermon addresses "Pollyannaism," or other positive-thinking type philosophies.  We see how Pollyanna gives us a starting point for joy (Ps. 104), then look at the problem of Pollyannaism (Rom. 1), and finally go beyond Pollyannaism (John 16:33).
