A Great Leader

Glenn Hoburg — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 14:36:44 +0000

Embedded deep within our hearts is a desire to have a great leader- also to be one. God has made us after His image, therefore, leadership is part of our nature. However, we often have to de-learn the model of leadership which we’re accustomed to, and re-learn the one Jesus modeled. By understanding who Jesus is, what He says and what He does, we find an entirely different approach to leadership.

Dying Well

Glenn Hoburg — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 23:13:06 +0000

The prospect of death raises three questions for us: 1) What about the way I’ve lived (or not lived)? 2) What about a life after death? 3) What about the people and things I’m leaving behind? As we look at
the death of Moses we find God addressing all three. And how, like Moses, we might not only live well, but die well.

A Word to Live By

Glenn Hoburg — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 23:15:03 +0000

The choices we make really matter. They end up prospering or destroying us. And the Bible teaches that they effect our eternal destinies. And, yet we’re also reminded daily of our inability to choose what is good, right and true. Moses holds out hope for the Israelites and us. He speaks of God’s Word coming near in a way that enables us to choose life and not death.

Life of Moses: The God Lens

Glenn Hoburg — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 23:15:53 +0000

Everyone sees life through a lens. And, that lens, in many ways, is our view of God. Who we understand God to be has everything to do with how we see the landscape of our lives; especially our fears. As Israel draws near to the land there are two distinct responses and two distinct view of God.

Debtors Forgiving Debtors

Duke Kwon — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 23:15:20 +0000

Deep in our hearts, we long for honesty community and authentic relationships—until we’re wronged and deeply hurt by others. Forgiveness is a fairly universal ethic (people generally agree it’s a good thing); yet the lingering question for all of us is, Where do you draw the line? Sure it’s good to forgive—but as long as the offense is not too great, gone on too long, or repeated too many times. Let’s be reasonable, right? Jesus has something more radical in mind: forgiveness without limits. He give shows us what this forgiveness is (and isn’t), and shows us where we can get the emotional and spiritual resources to forgive like this. Like him.
