Finding Yourself August 20, 2006, Rev. Jeff Miner
This sermon looks at the fifth of Five Key Spiritual Habits: discovering and using our spiritual gifts.
According to scripture, God has supernaturally equipped you -- not someone else, but you -- to do something really important in God's work here on earth.
Take a look at who we are and why God has put us here.

Last Comic Standing July 30, 2006, Rev. Tammy Mills
If you're like most of us, you probably have a stash of unfinished projects. Maybe it's a drawer, or a closet, or even a garage full!
What about spiritual "projects"? Have any of those that are unfinished? What area of growth has God called you to, that you just haven't gotten around to finishing?
In this sermon, we'll learn from the example of Nehemiah, who resolved to accomplish the task that had been given to him.

Who's the Boss? July 23, 2006, Rev. Jeff Miner
Do you control your money, or does it control you?
Next to God, money is perhaps the most powerful thing in the world. It's like
radiation. Used properly, radiation can be used to heal someone of cancer. Used improperly, radiation can give someone cancer.
So what we do with our money is a central issue for our spiritual journeys. This sermon leads us to take a thoughtful look at our money.

Born Into Great Wealth July 16, 2006, Rev. Jeff Miner
This week we'll look at what Jesus had to say about those who are wealthy -- and if you're reading this, that most likely includes you.
Jesus had a lot to say about the wealthy and their wealth. It's deep, sobering, and ultimately liberating.

Mixed Motives July 9, 2006, Rev. Jeff Miner
From time to time, don't you find yourself getting so frustrated at somebody, you just want to call down fire from heaven to consume them?
It's kind of a fun fantasy, isn't it? Picture it -- your our boss crosses you one too many times and you say, "Sorry, this time you've gone too far." And suddenly
lightning strikes from Heaven, and all that's left of your boss is a smoking pair of shoes.
Or maybe it's a family member who has treated you wrong; or a friend who's
double crossed you; or someone at church who is just a raving hypocrite; or maybe its your ex who did you wrong.
This sermon considers a response that gives life, rather than takes it.

Extravagant Living July 2, 2006, Rev. Jeff Miner
Ever seen "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous"? Or MTV's "Cribs"? Have you wondered or dreamed what it would be like to live that way?
This sermon is about extravagant living -- but not in the sense you might think. We'll look at a way of living extravagantly that is, perhaps, even more deeply satisfying.
