The Great Giveaway (What does God do with it?)

Text: 1 Chronicles 29:10-16

"When God gives, God gives abundantly. When God bestows, God bestows lavishly!

"God not only deliberately calls and chooses you and me to work together with God and with each other in making God's dream come true and bringing that vision to reality, but God also entrusts to your hands and mine everything we could possibly need to get that job done -- everything we could possible need!"

Open Your Hands

Texts: Deuteronomy 15:7-11, Psalm 145:16

A  sermon in which the preacher invites people to consider their hands as an expression of discipleship.  The listener  is invited to consider the difference between hands which are open to help, heal, share, and bless as Jesus does and hands that are closed, hard, and tight-fisted.

The Rich Man and Peter

Text:  Mark 10:17-31
"Seeking to obtain eternal life, like seeking to acquire any other possession, is a dead-end street.  Nothing will work.  We can neither bargain with God nor manipulate God. 

"Eternal life is a pure and undeserved gift from God that we receive when we have nothing to offer.  And since that is so, we can turn our gaze from heaven and stop wondering what awaits us there.  Instead, we can turn our eyes to this world, and follow Jesus wherever he takes us."
