Brenda talked about the nature of leadership and asked whether it is something we are born with or if it is something that we can cultivate. She then added a third possibility: timing. She told us about an African expression: "What called you forth?" In other words, "Why are you here, and why now?" God has an ideal plan for you, and you are here "for such a time as this." She challenged us all to respond to the calling on our lives!

It takes discipline and self-sacrifice on the part of individuals for us as a whole to become "a community of spiritually empowered people" as stated in our church vision. As spiritual people, we are called to think more about the eternal consequences of our words and deeds.

In this first service of the year, Greg took a moment to reflect on what we are doing here. It is important to make an honest assessment of what progress we're making in advancing the kingdom of God. We inevitably face opposition in this world, but the task before us is worth the sacrifices that will need to be made.

94% of all New Year's resolutions fail. Bringing about permanent change in the way we think and live is very difficult. Yet the Bible says we are to be continually changing into the likeness of Christ. In this message Greg discussed how we can work with God to bring about permanent change in our lives.

Letting God into Your Box

This week Greg again focused our attention on the story of the Magi from the east (Mt 2:1-11). God was willing to "get in the box" with these astrologers, to "speak their language" as it were, even though it required that God suspend his ethical opinions about their way of life. God's love for astrologers was greater than his hatred for astrology.

This week Greg discussed the familiar story of the three wise men in Matthew 2. As it turns out, there were not three of them, they were not wise by biblical standards and they were not kings, as has been assumed by many over the generations. So what is going on here?

Recently Greg has been speaking about the Joy of the Lord and how we are intended to participate in that joy. This week's sermon addressed two common ways that joy can be "corked" and restricted in our lives. The first is the "Savior Complex" and the second is the "Payback Complex." Both complexes rob us of the joy that God intends for us.

This week Kevin Johnson, our Community Pastor, brought a powerful message dealing with our hearts. He described the "heart" as the center of human existence, where our human abilities to love, marvel, and dream reside. We are able to experience events and truths deeply in profoundly empathetic ways. In this way the heart really demonstrates the truth of our being created in God's image.
