Nine words…a lot can be said in nine words. Eternity can be changed in nine words. Lives can be forever altered with nine words. Wandering souls can find purpose in just nine words. This is the message from the Easter sermon on March 27th, 2016.

Why do you do what you do every single day? Why do you work so hard? Why do you endure the headaches, the workplace conflicts, the pressures of making that last sale? I guess a better question would be… what would it take to satisfy you? More money? The latest gadget? The next promotion? Neil…
Today you’ve been given a gift… a gift of 86,400 seconds. What will you do with them? If you’re like most people, you’ll probably waste the moments you have by dreaming about the moments you’ve already planned.

Do you feel like you just need someone to breathe life back into your faith? Maybe it’s because we’re just doing what we’re “supposed”…
After a long, intense journey there’s nothing more exhilarating than arriving at your destination. After 14 weeks, we’ve now come to the end of Paul’s letter to the Ephesians in our #BetterTogether series.

When I’m sent to the grocery store to “get a few things”, I find that often I’m way too stubborn to get a cart. It’s just not the “manly” thing to do… so I end up trying to carry everything. I can imagine how ridiculous I look when people see me trying to do what’s…
