Pittsburgh Steeler Jon Kolb Guest Preacher
Pittsburgh Steeler great and Superbowl Champion Jon Kolb was our guest preacher on September 29. He brought a challenging and engaging message on living out your faith. Sorry about the quality. I recorded it from my phone but Jon walked around and the sanctuary echoes so the recording is not super clear.

How Christianity is like Farming
This is the third and final sermon in my series called "Who do you Think you are?" I look at Paul's view of church and Christians from Ephesians 3. He expects that the gospel has so much power that it changes people. He expects that the church has so much power that it can change the world. He expects Christians to sometimes suffer. I used farming to help the people connect with Paul's vision. I wore overalls and barn boots to get into character.

Who do you think you are: RECONCILED
Who do you think you are? How do you think about yourself and your life? In the book of Ephesians we see that we are reconciled to God and Christ. We must, therefore, be reconciled to one another. What does that look like?

Who do you Think you are: IN CHRIST
This is a sermon about our identity. How do we look at ourselves? I used a little character in a jar to talk about what it means that we are "in Christ."

Bitter Idols
I finish off the sermon series on stories of the Bible with the story of the Golden Calf from Exodus 32. I wrestle in this sermon with Idols today. How do texts about idols speak to us today? What does idolatry look like today? What do we do about our idols? I owe much in this sermon to Pastor Mark Driscoll and Pastor Timothy Keller.

The Woman at the Well Part 2- A Comparison with Nicodemus
Today I had a well and a bed up front as I compared the story of the woman at the well in John 4 with the story of Nicodemus in John 3. I added at the conclusion to worship that we believe that Nicodemus does become a believer later, though I held onto that information during the sermon.

Woman at the Well: Alone at the Well
This is part 1 of 2 sermons on the woman at the well. In this sermon, I try to open up our view of who this woman is and why she asks her question about worship.
