A matter of perspective

Hey everyone, I did something a little different this week. I wanted to create a worship experience that more closely reflected our typical live worship experience, so I attached our three worship songs up front like normal.  If you want to bypass the worship (which I don’t recommend) the sermon begins about 14 1/2 minutes in.

Genesis chapter 2 seeks to retell the story of creation found in the first chapter of Genesis, but does so in a much different way. So the question becomes “what do these stories collectively tell us about God and our relationship with one another?”

Work is not to be life’s aim, God is… This sermon seeks to answer the question what’s the deal with this special day (Sabbath), why Jesus, and why the Church. Is this Old Testament command something that is abolished in the New Testament? Join me and see.

Pastor, professor, friend and theologian Michael Lodahl-Guest Speaker. Professor Lodahl ties our previous series “When Love Bends Down” together citing several passages from the gospel of John.

This week we begin a new series in the Book of Genesis. These first pages of scripture are among the most widely read, but also the most deeply misunderstood in the entire Bible. It is my intention that this sermon continue along the same vein as our last series “When Love Bends Down” focusing in on God’s good intentions for humanity.

This is the forth and final sermon from our series.

This is the third of four parts inspired by my friend and former professor Michael Lodahl

The apostle Paul writes to the church and reminds them that they have been “made alive in Christ.” Made new, by God’s grace offered through the blood of Jesus.

Donna Bassett and her husband lead the Santa Rosa Church of the Nazarene. Donna will be preaching from Luke chapter 15. It’s a passage where Jesus after being criticized for is association with people living on the margins tells three parables about God’s love for “the least of these.”
