March 8, 2009 - 10 am - Richard Irwin - Valuing the Church

Richard Irwin presents an overview of Paul's letter to the Ephesians, and points out how God has called our a people for himself, for his purposes, and for his glory. It is the church, the called out ones, as frail and failure prone as we are, that God has prepared, equipped and empowered to present the good news of Jesus Christ, and represent God to the world. It is the church that God values, and it is into the church that he has hidden his most valuable assets.

 

March 1, 2009 - 10 am - Dr Jim Strutz - Prosperity of the Patriarchs

Jim Strutz shows how God brought about prosperity for Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph in times of famine and economic conflict. God is not limited by our present economic struggle, and is completely capable of doing more than just getting us through these difficult times. His plan is that you bloom in the driest desert. But in all of the prosperity that he brings, never forget that the present "land of milk and honey" is not our home. We are all foreigners on this journey through life, so be sure to smell the roses, but be quick to pass them on to others too.

 

February 22, 2009 - 10 am - Richard Irwin - Sharing Your Faith

Richard Irwin continues with his series on the Jesus Centered Gospel, and this time encourages us to share our faith and Christian experience with others. So many time we look at people and think that they really would not be interested in knowing Jesus, but the truth is that very often people only put up a facade of protection, and they are waiting for someone to ask them to respond to Christ. Usually it is the small risk of the possibility of rejection that holds us back from presenting the love of God that will give them a new life.

 

February 15, 2009 - 10 am - Barry Hagerty - Leaving the Land of Not Enough

Barry Hagerty gets us to contemplate moving our affections away from "the Land of Not Enough," and onto the place where God provides more than enough.

February 1, 2009 - 12 am - Aaron Gray - Generosity

Aaron Gray discusses blessings, wealth, poverty and generosity. Contrary to some opinions, and in spite of our circumstances, God wants us all to be rich in good deeds and generosity -- rich and poor alike. In love, God supplies more than enough, and our bounty is intended for the supply of others in need -- another demonstration of his love.

 

January 25, 2009 - 10 am - Roger Schoeniger - Kingdom Economics

This isn't about giving, but about changing our priorities, altering our perspectives, and adjusting our attitudes towards the things we have.

January 18, 2009 - 12 pm - Dr Kim Patterson - Spiritual Alignment

Richard Irwin continues with his exhortation to prepare now for the changes that lie ahead. He talks about being proactive about preparations, and not allowing ourselves to be complacent. Part of the preparation now is making good financial decisions to stay out of debt, and good spiritual decisions to secure your eternal future. We need to remember that God is in charge, so while there is no need to fear, there is cause to adjust now for the changes coming in the near future.
