When we raise children, we are doing our best to help them become a cooperative and productive member of society, and to interact with our society in such a way that they remain healthy. To raise a child requires more than instruction, for they also need sufficient experience and mentoring to help them live out those instructions.When it comes to s…

When a person is going through a crisis or stressful situation, it can cause them to become isolated and face the situation alone. Recovery will always begin with looking to God for help, just like Psalm 121 suggests, but God uses a variety of people to help a person get from bad to better.Will God use you? Even if you aren't naturally the kind of …

The topic of God and Suffering is vast, and I could never hope to address all the questions and the philosophical points that surround it. Countless are the books, sermons, and seminars.This message is focused on stress in the midst of suffering, and in particular two words that highlight an attitude God desires His people to discover in these time…

There is a shadowy closet that most of us have in our lives. Few know about this closet, because we would feel shame if people discovered it in our lives. Perhaps it is gambling, or compulsive shopping, or pornography, or procrastination, or over-eating, or gaming, or endless social-media. We can't or don't want to stop, and we keep doing it over a…

America is wealthy, and the greed and stress that wealth produces is so infectious that it's hard for any of us to escape, even Christians. In this message, we're exploring the condition of the heart that gives rise to greed, coveting, and the love of money. This is bad stress, because it doesn't help us change or improve. And, we'll look at wisdom…

Controversy is a passionate battle between two opposing views, with each side typically unwilling to entertain the other's arguments. The controversy that we mostly encounter in America is stressful, producing quarreling and few solutions. You may see slander, shouting, rage, propaganda, divisiveness, and sometimes violence. It's like an emotion-fi…

Rachel & Mark McAulay; Psalm 23

Chris Douglas- Rite Mentoring. Deuteronomy 10:12-19

Whether you are a Christian or not, stress happens. But God uses some stress to help get us out of ruts, and realign our lives with God. Sometimes it is to help us re-prioritize or downsize our busyness, sometimes it is to teach us humility, and sometimes it is to help us see God's righteousness more clearly.Message Summary: [Click]…

Leading up to Easter, we'll consider the Humility of Christ vs our cultural expectations of Power

When a person is in conflict, they will frequently seek out others to provide counsel and guidance. If someone in conflict comes to you, then you will be getting one side of the story and it is easy to get drawn into the corner of the person you are speaking with.But, peacemakers are not in one person's corner or the other, but rather in God's corn…

The truth of God is immense. If truth were the size of the Sun, God has revealed truth to humanity that is about the size of a pea. I've received some of this truth and I'm still receiving it.God seems to progressively reveal truth to us, and each nugget of truth that is received is powerful and disrupts our course of life. So, how are we to delive…

Just about everyone is a fan of peace, so long as peace is on their terms. Is it God's will that we only accept people if they are totally agreeing and practicing what we think is correct? No. Just as Jesus welcomes us and is with us despite our failures, peacemakers welcome others as they are, and not as we wish them to be.…

If you are serious about spiritual growth, then you will be serious about loving others. Love always means getting closer to others who we'll find are different and sometimes challenging. Conflict will happen. Though strenuous, it needn't be overwhelming or exhausting.How will you respond? Most of us have a natural tendency to address conflict in a…

Many of us may think that gossip is a small thing, but it isn't thought of that way in Scripture. Gossip is likely the very reason that people of a church want to stay private, or superficial, or seeming as if they have no struggles. This opening message is intended to shine a light on the problem with gossip, not only helping us to understand how …

The parable of the sower describes a farmer distributing seeds on four types of soil: hard, rocky, weedy, and good. Only one of the soils is successful. We could tend to use this parable to judge others and their response to the Gospel, but do you really think Jesus intends this parable to help us feel spiritually superior to others? No. It is a pa…
