Humble Beginnings (Johnson)

One of the most amazing truths of the birth of Jesus is where He was born. We often hear it said “Jesus should have been born in a palace” or “Jesus should have been born in a beautiful hospital” and that’s all true. But the reminder today is that it’s not exactly true...you see, no earthly location would have ever been good enough for our Lord Jesus. Huge Palace? Massive Castle? State-of-the-art Hospital? Solid gold room in the finest ever hotel? None of them are good enough. This isn’t just a ...

With His Message (Johnson)

What’s this doing in a stewardship series? This is an “outreach” subject...and “each-one-reach-one” kinda message...not stewardship! And yet, today we’ll remember that when we talk about the stewardship of our time, talents and treasures, reaching out is part and parcel of using what God has enTRUSTed you with to HIS glory. We will remember today that we are not “on a mission from God” but that God is in fact the on a mission through us as we are enTRUSTed with HIS message!...

With His Resources (Meyer)

We are often very focused on money and things. We are often absolutely consumed by money and things...OUR money and OUR things. Today we will remember that OUR things are not OURS at all. All that we have and all that we are...is His...is God’s. We’ll remember today that we are simply enTRUSTed with HIS resources.

With His Plan (Meyer)

God has a plan for your future, for your every day and it’s therefore His plans and His future that matters. We’ll remember today that we are simply enTRUSTed with the plans God has given us!

With His Life (Johnson)

Some times we forget that we do not own ourselves...we are owned. God made you, HE “knit you together in your mother’s womb” and “your days are numbered and are in HIS book” as Psalm 139 says it. That means God owns your body and your life. More than that, as a Christian He has purchased and won you for eternity with the precious blood of Jesus and so your life is really, genuinely, absolutely...“His Life” ...now and for eternity. Today we’ll remember then, we are enTRUSTed with the life the Lor...

Ridiculous Relationship (Johnson)

As we come to this final chapter of Jonah we’re reminded of how ridiculous we can be and how ridiculous God’s love is for us! Jonah’s pouting because God didn’t kill the Ninevites! What? How ridiculous, right? And yet, we’re looking in a mirror on this one. We’re often petty and pouty and well...ridiculous. And yet, our wonderful God seeks us and disciplines us and makes us better. Why? Well, because He is crazy in love with us in spite of all our weird ways. And because, He’s chosen to be invol...

Ridiculous Repentance (Meyer)

How amazing is our God? How amazing is it that He not only rescued Jonah but brought the Ninevites to repentance through the prophet as well. Yes, God brought the Ninevites to repentance. The Bible is clear, even repentance is God’s work in and through us. And each time we repent, we’re reminded that it’s a ridiculous repentance because we love our sin...but each time we repent we’re also reminded that it’s ridiculous because God loves us so much, He gives us both repentance and grace when neith...
