We’ve been moving through CASKET EMPTY, and I don’t want us to lose sight of why we’re doing that. The whole idea of Casket Empty is to recognize God’s redemptive story throughout the Old Testament. Many have wondered did God create the world and then just leave it to run itself, and what we see throughout…

If we’re honest we’re always somewhere on the scale between belief and unbelief.

If you were here last week, Dave Waller and I co-taught Matt 5:21-26 on anger and contempt, and we got really positive feedback from all of you. It was fun for us!
