We Were Made to Shine: the Light of the Gospel in a Dark World
Isaiah 49.6; Acts 13.47a

I am so thrilled at your mission conference Scripture verse! I want to focus on Acts 13.47 in two sermons: one will focus on the fact that we are called the light. And then we will look at the purpose of God in missions that is embedded in this summary passage of the redemptive plan of God.

“Give us Faith So We’ll Be Safe:” A Theological and Pastoral Response to the Tragedy in Haiti

How do we who call ourselves followers of the Lord of Life respond to the chilling report that 40,000 bodies have been buried and there could be 200,000 dead in Haiti?

He said, “The only reason I wouldn’t vote for Tiger Woods is because of the events of the last three weeks.”
