DTR - Week 6 - Playin' It Safe

This Sunday, we have our final "DTR" talk as we continue our discussion on what kind of relationship God calls us to. Is it exclusive? Are we just friends? And where is this whole thing going? In our conclusion, we look at how correctly understanding that relationship practically impacts our lives. Think about it for a moment - our culture is so focused on safety and security. We eat right, play safe, invest for the long term, all in an effort to allay our fears about tomorrow. Do you ever wonde...

DTR - Week 5 - Life With God

Take a moment, if you will, and ask yourself a very profound question: What is it that you value the most in your life? Is it your kids? That seems to be the preeminent value in our culture.

On November 28, 2010, Buffalo Bills wide receiver Steve Johnson dropped five passes in a game against the powerhouse Pittsburgh Steelers. The final pass, one he dropped while wide open in the end zone during overtime, wound up costing his team the game. Afterward, Johnson tweeted, "I praise you 24/7!!! And this is how you do me!!! You expect me to learn from this??? How??? I'll never forget this!! Ever!!" For him, and often for us, this is a common experience and disappointment when we relate to...

DTR - Week 1 - Defining The Relationship

There is nothing worse than being in a relationship with someone, maybe even for a long time, and then suddenly finding out that you define the relationship differently. Is it exclusive? Are you just friends? What if you've wasted the best years of your life on a relationship that turned out not to be what you thought? Heartbreaking if it involves a person. Life altering if it involves God! If you've grown weary of Christianity, maybe the problem lies not in your faith, but in your heart. Is it ...
