The Stories of Summer
More Than Enough
August 13, 2023 • Pastor Scott Randlett • Luke 12:13–26
Everybody wants more than they currently have. Being rich with God means that our faith is greater than our worries, our gratitude is greater than our grumbling, our generosity is greater than our greed, and our eternal home is greater than our earthly home.
What Must I Do
August 6, 2023 • Pastor Scott Randlett • Luke 10:25–37
What can we learn from the parable of the Good Samaritan? Love God supremely, and love everyone else the way you love yourself. How do we love everyone else? We remove the labels, pray for courage, extend amazing grace, and recognize true compassion.
It's What We Do
July 30, 2023 • Pastor Scott Randlett • Matthew 18:21–35
The forgiven forgive. the Bible reminds us over and over about forgiveness. Forgiveness is not minimizing the pain, allowing the pain to continue, or a one-time event. Forgiveness is rejecting the opportunity to get even and giving control to God. Forgiveness is choosing to receive God's healing instead of God's judgment. And forgiveness is given to someone without receiving it or being asked.
A Season of Growth
July 16, 2023 • Pastor Scott Randlett • Mark 4:1–9, Mark 4:13–20
The parable of the farmer and the seed can help us understand the condition of the heart. Every heart can become hardened, superficial, and divided. Or the heart can become fruitful by following Jesus daily, speaking of Jesus regularly, and helping others live like Jesus.
