Flipping the Ladder

Preached on April 20, 2008 at PLWC.

Reading: Genesis 28:10-17; John 1:1-14

Last Sunday was the climax of our last month of sermons, intended to present people with the opportunity to respond to the message of the gospel. Our focus, then, was God's action in response to our hurt.

Telling Stories

Preached on April 6, 2008 at PLWC.

Reading: John 18:19-27; Acts 1:8, 2:14-24

While last week was focused on prayer -- specifically prayer for those who are not yet a part of God's kingdom and for our own sensitivity to the Spirit's movement -- this week we focused on how we go about approaching someone with the good news of what God has done in Christ.

Someone Ought to Do Something

Preached on March 30, 2008 at PLWC.

Reading: Isaiah 49:1-2, 5-13; Acts 1:1-8

We began a sort of a series this last Sunday, with the goal being to prepare us for sharing with others what God has done in our lives so that we can invite people to join us for our worship on April 20. This week we began, as we should probably do more often, by focusing on prayer.
