2012.11.25 - Dave Witt - This Isn’t Easy
Matthew 5, Matthew 7
Sometimes we can think that grace is like a safety net: it’s only needed when we fall.
Sometimes we think we can follow Jesus, without needing Jesus. But that would be a huge mistake.

The Cost of Incarnational Peace-Making
John 1, Philippians 4, Matthew 5, Ephesians 2, John 17
Wendy Gritter returns to the Eucharist pulpit with a compelling and powerful teaching on being like Christ: incarnational and peace making.

This Isn't Easy - The Light
2012.11.04 - Kevin Makins - This Isn’t Easy
John 3, Matthew 7, Psalm 32
When you see the words “confession,” “repentance” and “accountability,” what sorts of things come to mind?
If I had to guess, for most of us these words are associated with guilt, shame and judgement.
But what if they were actually meant to be gifts? What if they were chains to bind us, but keys to freedom? What if they were light instead of darkness?
(Forgive the poor audio quality, bit of a sketchy recording!)
