Knowing God Through Food

Glenn Hoburg — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 16:49:11 +0000

There is nothing more basic than food. As one philosopher said, “Man is what he eats.” We take food into our bodies and it becomes life. This is one reason why God has always used food as a way for us to know Him. As Jesus said, “I am the Bread of Life.”

The Danger of Good Deeds

Glenn Hoburg — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 15:56:28 +0000

The Sermon on the Mount challenges how we understand things like happiness, sexuality, marriage, anger, retaliation – even good deeds or righteousness. There is a greater stress on doing good deeds in our current culture, and Washington is a city where people are drawn toward public service and committed to good causes. However, have we ever thought about the danger of good deeds?

In this second sermon on the ministry of Grace DC, we consider how the purpose of the church works in our personal and public lives, through community groups, culture and vocation.

The Ministry of Grace DC, Part I

Glenn Hoburg — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 16:52:51 +0000

As Grace DC grows its ministries we must remember our primary purpose. It’s so very easy for individuals or churches to ‘miss the forest for the trees’; to look back and realize your life was just a series of latest trends. In the fourth chapter of Paul’s letter to the church at Ephesus (a city much like Washington, DC), we’re called back to our chief calling.

Planning

Duke Kwon — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 16:36:49 +0000

James tells us that there’s a way to approach our future plans that might be rightly described as “boastful,” “arrogant,” “sin,” and “evil.” Is this excessive? Is James exaggerating here? Someone might retort, “There are a lot of very real evils in this world, and how I talk about tomorrow is definitely not one of them!” How can you be so sure? Let’s see how James makes his case. Whether you’re a Christian or if you’re just investigating Christianity, take a look at the way you approach the future, the way you make plans. What does it tell you about who God is to you and who you are to yourself?
