Home Cookin - "Potluck Purpose"

April 14, 2024 • Pastor Scott Weatherford

God puts us into a family. I said that last week. He puts us into a birth family, sometimes is an adoption into a birth family, and he puts us into a church family…the family of God. church family and birth families are a lot like a potluck…you get what you get!

We function best in environment of family. For a family to function in health there must be structure…we could call it a recipe. Every family is different and every church family is different but there are

commonalities that define every family. Our church family has a recipe. We also have a clear purpose…Building Lives that honor God by leading people to Love God and Grow, Love Others and go. These life commitments help us to thrive as a church family and they can help your family thrive as well. In order to have a Life Built by God there must be a decision to allow God to do His purposes in, for, and through us. It sounds funny to say “allow God”, but He is a gentle God who woos us and never forces us. We therefore,

must choose to live the life God has for you and both of your families…birth and church families.

Home Cooking - "God Has Given Us New Marriages"

May 12, 2024 • Pastor Bard Letsinger • Ephesians 5:21–33

Today is the day we honor moms but not just moms, we honor women in general. For who you are, what you do and how God made you. This week in our Home Cooking series in Ephesians we are going to look at a great passage on marriage, one that demonstrate how a biblical marriage works… A passage that elevates women, challenges men… It is also contains one of the most controversial passage in the NT because one verse in Ephesians 5 is one of the most misinterpreted verses in all of scripture, one that has been used and abused by week and controlling chauvinistic men to justify their bad actions.

Today we have a recipe for an amazing recipe to make your life more delicious. Here are two questions we have used to get us thinking….What are you doing? What should you be doing? Great questions! How about these questions…. Am I doing the right thing? Am I doing the right thing the right way? Am I doing the right thing the right way for the right reasons? Am I doing the right thing the right way for the right reasons with the right kind of love These four questions are from Augustine and His confessions. He called them the four questions of the soul. They are designed for self reflection and correction.
