Trusting God’s Power

Bible, Life, Message / By Pastor Dan Walker / March 28, 2010

We’ve been looking at the ancient book of Esther as a model for how we should live for God in the world that God has put us into. Our world in the 21^st century AD is a dark world, but so was the world of the Persian empire that Esther found herself in the 5^th century BC.

Others try to pretend that nothing has happened. Neither response is God’s way to deal with problems in a relationship. …

Loving From The Heart

Life, Message / By Pastor Dan Walker / February 14, 2010

Valentine’s Day is all about love. And what better place to be on Valentine’s Day then worshipping the inventor of love, God Himself. As we’ll see, God both invented love and He best exemplifies love. So maybe God has something of importance to teach us about love on this Valentine’s Day 2010. …

Why Relationships Are Important

Life, Message / By Pastor Dan Walker / February 7, 2010

Today we begin a new message series called “Growing Great Relationships.” Each of us has a variety of relationships with other people in our lives. Each of us has casual acquaintances. People we know a little bit about, but not too much. With things like Facebook growing in popularity, people have more and more of these casual acquaintances. Oftentimes, people you’ve never met, but who know someone you know. …
