This past weekend, I explored the topic of generosity, specifically the importance of planning your generosity in advance. Our natural inclination is to store up more and more for ourselves, but we can turn this desire into a method for experiencing more joy in our giving.

In Luke 12:13-21,...

This past weekend, I preached on the idea of Christianity as a story for us to tell. Ever since I got awarded the "Best Storyteller" award in kindergarten, it's been clear to me how much I love a good story. And apparently, so does Jesus. That's why many of his teachings were in story format...

Anxiety creeps up on us, often in ways we don't expect. However, one area of our lives where we do expect it is our finances. Just the very topic can usually create a physical response in us. Is this just the way it is?

This weekend, I taught about anxiety in our finances and explored...

Have you ever wanted to skip the journey and just get to the destination in life? We live in a world that is so focused on results and outcomes.

I taught from a passage where the Apostle Paul similarly...

I finished up my three-week series this past weekend. As expected, it was a story about two dead people from Luke 16. The story contrasts an unnamed rich man and a beggar named Lazarus. As we see how death reverses the role of both men, we find that the rich man still thinks everything should...

Last week, I began a three-week series of three consecutive stories that Luke recorded Jesus telling. All of them involve what we do with what we have. In the first week, I explored what is commonly known as the story of the "Prodigal Son," although I made the argument it was a story about...
