Help Is on the Way

Jim Crouch — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 11:26:30 +0000

We all experience the stormy weather of life. Each of us weather the storms differently. Sometimes you get through the storm unscathed, but others the damage is deep and structural and you need help rebuilding.

Who’s there to help you get through?

Listen in as our friend Dale presents some very practical ways that we can be there to help others going through difficult situations, and how the Church should respond to those in need.

Humans, Doing What We think Best… for Millennia

Jim Crouch — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 02:11:28 +0000

In this message, we hear from our favorite guest speaker Marcus.

Listen in as Marcus presents some of our favorite biblical examples of man’s not-so-great ideas and the end results of thinking we know better than God.

Mark, the AD/HD Gospel: The Forward

Jim Crouch — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 20:28:19 +0000

One of the aspects of Jesus’ teaching that, probably as intended, causes both believers and non-believers to seek better understanding of what He meant was His metaphoric approach to an idea. Frequently, He used this method to help us see and understand what His Kingdom looked (and looks) like.

As bit of a preview to a later message series, Stan spends some time in Mark 2 discussing some of Jesus’ teaching about why Jesus’ disciples don’t fast, why we shouldn’t patch our jeans with a new patch and why we get a clean wine skin for our freshly pressed wine. Listen in to find out, but my guess is it has something to do with the Kingdom…

God on Film: What Happens in Vegas

Jim Crouch — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 14:34:13 +0000

The next movie that the God on Film series deals with is What Happens in Vegas. Believe it or not, Stan actually finds some redemptive aspects and spiritual significance. That’s all I’ll say for this one, except listen in to hear more.

God on Film: Revolutionary Road

Jim Crouch — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 13:20:21 +0000

The God on Film series continues with a look into the movie, Revolutionary Road.

In Revolutionary Roads, a married couple finds themselves in the rut of life, having lost their “true” selves to the routine and safety of the everyday life they know. After recognizing their unhappiness, they determine to leave the life they have settled for and start fresh abroad. But as life would have it, things don’t always pan out as planned.

To know one’s self or purpose may be the most coveted bit of knowledge ever…in all the world, even among Jesus followers. Ironically, the desire and quest to find ourselves may inhibit our ability to actually be ourselves. Listen in as Stan deals with this issue of knowing one’s self and purpose and how to actually find it.

God on Film: Waitress

Jim Crouch — Wed, 26 May 2010 14:49:01 +0000

We are all hoping for something…maybe a job or a relationship or something else. There are many things people put there hope in. Most likely though, disappointment is the end result because the things of this world are broken and pass away. Our hope must lie out of this world, in God and his promise of redemption and new life, if we are to rely on that hope.

In this message, we take a look at the movie, Waitress, where one woman places her hope in all of the wrong things and finds disappointment each time. Listen in as Stan uses the story Waitress to point to the true hope that Christ gives us.
