“Second Chance”
Luke 13:1-9
There’s so much going on in the world these days. First we were devastated to see the destruction in Haiti. Then there was the celebration of life and unity in the Olympics. Then as the Olympics wind down, another huge earthquake. The biggest in recorded history hit Chile.

“Please Take A Number” – Sermon, Feb 28, 2010
“Please Take A Number”
Philippians 3:17-4:1; Luke 13:31-35

And now we’re on the brink of winning more golds than any other country ever in a winter games! read more…

There’s a time in everyone’s life when they sit down, probably with their spouse, maybe thinking of their children, they might have some bank statements, bills, a spreadsheet and wonder where it’s all heading. Where is the money coming from? Where’s it going? How much will we need? read more…
