As we get to one of the most popular passages in the book of Philippians, we talk about the house we’re building with our thoughts. Simply put, “The thoughts we dwell on build the house we live in.”
In part 9 of the Joy Ride series, we talk about the fact that there are people who are living as enemies of God. It’s not a popular topic. None of us like to think about it. All of us would like to do away with this part of the Bible. But, that doesn’t get […]
What is the motivation behind the religious activities that we perform? As we talked about the first part of Philippians chapter 3, we looked at our underlying reasons for being religious. Ultimately we said that ‘Religion is the show we put on to show the world we have our rubbish together.’ Listen in as we talk […]
On this Father’s Day, we talked about making a name for yourself. It’s a desire that is probably built into all people, and especially men. We men want to leave our mark on the world. We want to know that when we die, we will be remembered. As we dig into Phil 2:14-18, we uncover […]
Today, we take a break from our Joy Ride series, and focus on what God has done in and through our church over the last year. The way we celebrate is a little different though. Instead of a big celebration in the service, we all went out and served our community. Listen in to today’s […]
Today we come to a verse in Philippians that stirs up quite a bit of controversy, 2:12. As we look into what Paul was talking about to the church at Philippi, we see that what he had in mind was their witness. But still, what does this verse really mean? One thing we discover, is […]
This week, we took a bold step in our “Joy Ride” series. We talked about the importance of how we live our lives. We looked at Philippians 1:27-30 where Paul told the church at Philippi, “Whatever happens…live in a manner worthy of the gospel of Jesus.” What we said was “The way the world sees […]
Happy Mother’s Day! As we continue on in our series going through the book of Philippians, we stop on this day of celebration to look at what it means to leave a legacy. With that, we took a brief look at the life of Ermal Wilson, Pastor David’s grandfather. As we look at his life […]
As we continue on the journey of finding joy in the ride, we take a look at the things that are going into our lives. We asked three questions today: What’s propelling you, what’s fueling you and what’s steering you. Listen in to learn about how those things we allow to have input in our […]
This week we started a new series going through the book of Philippians. As we get started, we talked about the big idea for the book which is, The key to finding joy in the ride is by walking humbly and rejoicing in Jesus. We then looked at the beginning of the book, how the church […]
As we wrap up the Love Illuminated series this Easter Sunday, we talk about the amazing event of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. This is the single-most important event in all of human history. There is nothing like it, there is no religion on the face of the planet that has anything to compare to […]
In part 13 of the Love Illuminated series we take a look at the day between Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday – Black Saturday. What is it about that day that carries significance for us as the church? Listen in as Kenan Stolz, our Student Life Pastor, shares about the impact this day has on […]
We take a lot of things for granted in our lives. We’ve got a lot of comforts and amenities. We have a lot of things that make our life much easier. And even within our plush lives, we still find a way to take things for granted. But, the greatest travesty of all is when […]
There are a lot of different voices shouting for our attention. And it can be easy to get drawn into what those voices have to say. But as we learn from looking at Jesus’ interaction with Pilate, it’s ridiculous to ignore Jesus, just because the crowd is loud. Listen in to part 11 of the […]
As we enter into the last week of Jesus’ life, we start to take a look at the last few days of Jesus’ life. We should be amazed at how Jesus handled himself in his last hours. If any of us knew (as Jesus did) the torture we were about to face, we would have […]
In part 9 of the Love Illuminated series, we get to the topic at hand of life. Specifically the ‘psuche’ life and the ‘zoe’ life. This is a transitional message that covers the landscape between John chapter 3 (where we were) and John chapter 16 (where we are headed for the rest of the series). […]
This week we take a look at the quintessential “king of the hill” battle that takes place between the disciples of John the Baptist and Jesus’ disciples. I’m sure their intentions were good, but what they didn’t realize was that John knew exactly what he was here to do. Jesus knew what he was here […]
Today we get to the most famous verse in the Bible, John 3:16. If you’ve ever watched a football game or driving around the countryside, you’ve probably seen this verse listed there. And it’s because it’s a great verse. We are so thankful that God loved us and sent His son to die on the […]
In this installment of our Love Illuminated series, Kenan Stolz (SixEight Church Student Life Pastor) shares with us about the interaction between Jesus and Nicodemus. As he shares with us, he challenges us to think, “Are we an expert in anything?” As we look at Nicodemus we see that he was indeed an expert and […]
In Part 5 of the “Love Illuminated” series, we talk about that epic story at the beginning of Jesus’ ministry. It’s the one where Jesus goes into the temple and throws stuff around and yells at people. But, as we dig into this passage we see that there is a lot more John is telling […]
In part 4 of Love Illuminated, we talk about the first sign Jesus performed at the wedding in Cana. It’s a great story, especially if you love wine. But this tale is about more than just a molecular shift in some jars of water, it’s about us.
Part 3 in the Love Illuminated series brings us to the topic of Baptism. And it just so happens that we also did some baptisms in the service that day as well. It’s almost as if we planned it that way! As we look at Baptism, we also take a look at the difference between […]
This week we take a look at the significance of Jesus’ interaction with Nathaniel. Nathaniel was an israelite and skeptical that anything good could come out of Nazareth, but Jesus proved very quickly and definitively that He was, in fact, the Messiah. We don’t know everything that happened in that encounter, but we do learn […]
As we start 2014, we’re taking a long, hard look at who Jesus is and how we should be living our lives in light of His grace. This week we kicked off the series, Love Illuminated by looking at the 1st Chapter of John and the big ideas that we see in the introduction of […]
As we kick of 2014 at SixEight Church, we set the course for what we would love to see happen in this year. We talked about some goals that are measurable such as baptisms and attendance. But then we talked about a goal that’s harder to measure, but much more important. And that’s the goal […]
As we finished up our series on “It’s A Wonderful Life?” we talked about everyone’s favorite part of the movie. As George has finally had enough of this alternate reality where he’s not sure what’s real and what’s not anymore, he runs back to the bridge where he originally thought about throwing it all away. […]
In part 3 of our series, “It’s A Wonderful Life?” we dig into the idea of the value of a life. The two quotes we used from the movie were some of the most poignant lines that have ever been uttered from the silver screen. “You’re worth more dead than alive.” ” Strange isn’t it? […]
In the second week of our series, “It’s a Wonderful Life?” we talk about the quote from George in the movie: “I’m shakin’ the dust of this crummy little town off my feet and I’m gonna see the world!” As we looked at George’s desire to get out of Bedford Falls, we also talked about […]
This week we kicked off our Christmas series, “It’s A Wonderful Life?” Throughout the course of this series we will be using some famous quotes from the Christmas classic and relating them to our lives today. In the first week we talk about family and took a look at the scene from the movie where […]
We we wrap up the “No More Excuses” series, we look at the beginning part of the journey of one of the most famous leaders in all the Bible, in fact in all of history – Moses. As we dig into the initial conversation Moses has with God about what God is asking him to […]
