CHAINSAWS IN THE KITCHEN

Let's talk about sex. There are tools and then there are power tools. A power tool, unlike a hand tool, can do a lot of good or a lot of bad in a short amount of time. Take a chainsaw, it can cut a tree in a matter of seconds, but bring it into the kitchen and it's nothing but a mess. Casual sex is like a chainsaw in the kitchen. Sex is a power tool that in a matter of moments can do lots of good or a lot of bad. As humans, we were designed by God, just like a chainsaw was designed by its creator, for certain purposes. To use our bodies, brains and other components in ways other than our Creator intended causes all kinds of damage (to ourselves and others). A chainsaw used [...]

THE MYTH OF CASUAL SEX – PART 1

Date: June 18, 2017 Text: 1 Cor. 6:12-20 Speaker: Clint Nelson Is sex just a natural appetite? If I sleep around does it really matter? The Christian view of sex is often described as narrow-minded, when the reverse is true. Is there more to sex than self-gratification? Listen to part one of understanding the nature, beauty, pleasure, community, life and fruitfulness that is to be had when done God's way.

SEX & COMMUNITY

Date: June 11, 2018 Text: 1 Cor. 5 Speaker: Clint Nelson How we express our sexuality doesn't just impact us, but our church community, and our city.

SERVANTS OF GOD

Text: 1 Cor. 3-4 Date: June 4, 2017 Speaker: Clint Nelson God gives the world leaders (pastors, parents, politicians, peers, etc.) – their leadership can be a barrier or boost to the cross. God calls everyone to be a leader of some sort – what kind of leader are you? Regardless of our lot, we will each answer to God for what we did with the cross, not how others handled the cross.

THE MIND OF CHRIST: AN INSTALLATION GUIDE

Dovetailing with Sunday's message from Paul's words (1 Cor. 1:18-2:5) it's easy to talk about the mind of Christ, but it's another thing to install and operate the mind of Christ. Receiving the mind of Christ is a gift of grace accessed in response to His invitation to salvation through faith. It begins by hearing the Gospel and responding - by giving over one's life in faith to Jesus Christ. In that exchange, we are born again; made a new creation in Him. He gives us His Spirit to minister to ours. It is impossible to have the mind of Christ apart from His Spirit and His Spirit dwells only within those who He has made new. Additionally, we are to daily call out to God to pour out His Spirit on us that we might be equipped and [...]

THE DAY AFTER AN ELECTION

How is a Christian to live out political election results? We update our prayer lists. "I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth." (1 Tim. 2:1-4 NIV) People of other political parties and religions are not the enemy; they are the ones we are called to love. It starts with prayer and aligning our heart with God's. We learn from those who voted differently than us. "An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge." (Proverbs 18:15 ESV) It's in our [...]
