There is more behind Jesus’ illustrations of light and salt than appears at first glance (or taste).  These are not simple analogies, but rather they are paradigm shifting directives

A clearer vision of Jesus radically changed the disciples.   How might we clear our vision and experience the same kind of radical change in our lives?

Guest Speaker Cory Taylor talks about the temptation of Jesus in the wilderness from Matthew 4:1-11

GOD 101 – Is God a mystery or knowable?  Is God aloof or relational?  Is God indifferent or active?  What things are at the core of God’s heart and being?  What can we count on when it comes to God?

If you have ever wished that you could be something more that you are, you should know that God’s desires is to transform you into something dramatically different (and better) than you could ever acheive on your own.

We all want to feel like we can make a difference.  That what we do actually matters.  God gives our lives both purpose and meaning in this life, and a promise for the life to come.

We often feel like justice is somehow contradictory to love, particularly when we are on the wrong side of it (even rightly so).   But in reality, love necessitates justice, which is why what both are deeply rooted in God’s character.

Purpose.  Meaning.  Value.  Worth.  We all crave these things and our search for them takes us down many different paths.  Some provide a little assistance, others leave us worse off than we began, but God is our ultimate source of all of these things.
