The Burning of the Chaff | Luke 3:15-20 8/23/2009 John humbly pointed others to Jesus, confronted their sin and endured the fallout from telling the truth.

The Fruits of Repentance | Luke 3:7-14 8/16/2009 You will disappoint and offend others—perhaps even hurt them. Most of us have been taught to properly apologize. John is calling for more than words of regret. Repentance is a lifestyle and it can be demonstrated. | 8/16/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

God's Kind Of Childhood | Luke 2:39-52 8/2/2009 Jesus born under the law of Moses and in fact the living fulfillment of the law necessitated that He be nurtured in a home where God’s law was taught and lived.
