PD’s Reflections

If You Know What Is Good…

When we compare ourselves with others (right or wrong), we often evaluate goodness based upon what we are “not doing” that the other person is. We determine our level of righteousness or holiness regularly based upon the negative commands of Scripture (think the Ten Commandments). James calls us though to expand our minds and consider what God has called us to do and what disobedience to that means. Thanks for joining us today as we explore that in James 4:17.…

Gospel Focus Amidst Differing Opinions

Conflict in the church often centers on the differing opinions of the people within. Many times specifically over preferences. What difference does focusing on the gospel make in all of this? Join us today as we continue to examine Romans 14 further and take this discussion on a topic that it so essential to relationship within the church body (and within families and with our community members). May the Lord give supply grace and help us to imitate Christ as…

Differing Opinions in the Church

Conflict in the church often centers on the differing opinions of the people within. Many times specifically over preferences. Join us today as we look at Romans 14:1 a further and take this discussion on a topic that it so essential to relationship within the church body (and within families and with our community members). May the Lord give supply grace and help us to imitate Christ as we interact with one another. “Harmony in Foggy Places” (Part #1) CCLI…

Loving One Another in Speech

Love one another. It’s a phrase that is widely used in church slogans and vision statements. It’s something that our world too encourages. Yet, if we take even a brief glimpse inside and outside the church, we clearly see that we are always very loving (sometimes very little so). Those changed by the gospel are called to put love into practice. Join us today as we examine what that looks like practically in an arena that is common to all…

We encourage you to view Sunday’s sermon if you haven’t had a chance to do…
