Wednesday, August 28, 2013. Free Beer and Wings. I’ve always maintained that if our goal at ALIVE! Was to just attract a crowd and to make people happy, that instead of coffee and donuts on Sunday mornings, we’d offer free beer and wings every Sunday! Can you imagine what it would be like to get a flyer or postcard in the mail from the church down the street with such an offer? There’s a real tension for The Church sometimes. And that means reaching out to people in our community. We see that there’...

Thursday, April 10, 2014. He Knows Your Name. When I was in my last semester of college at Pitt-Greensburg in the spring of 1997, I had the Sweetest. Schedule. Ever. All I had left for that lest semester were 12 credits of really easy classes (for me, anyway) – 2 mid level psychology classes, an entry level political science class and one mid level communications class. It was a much welcome break after 3 ½ years of biology, chemistry, calculus and physics. I fished pretty much every day that semester.

Thursday, January 30, 2014. Do You Know Who You Are? John Calvin, one of the great theologians of the Protestant Reformation, said, ““Without knowledge of self there is no knowledge of God.”. Do you know who you are? This is a vital for all of us, no matter where we’re at in our spiritual journey. This is a question I’ve been pondering lately in my time with God. I bet that many of you struggle with the same thoughts and feelings as well. One of today’s readings from For the Love of God Biblereadin...

Tuesday, April 30, 2013. Asking the Right Question. When we’re faced with difficult situations in life, it’s always a good thing to ask ourselves questions. Did some choice we made or behavior we’re engaged in get us to this point? Is there something that we can do to change our circumstances? Is what we’re dealing with because of a lack of fatih? Questions are good, but sometimes even our best questions don’t always show us the right answers. In today’s reading from John 9. Seems like a good question.

daveroddyonline: Learning to Hear the Voice of Love - Part 1
http://daveroddy.blogspot.com/2014/04/learning-to-hear-voice-of-love-part-1.html
Monday, April 7, 2014. Learning to Hear the Voice of Love - Part 1. I think yesterday was the first time I've ever assigned homework during a sermon! If you were at ALIVE! Yesterday (April 6th) you'll remember that we landed on the story of the blind man crying out for mercy to Jesus from Luke 18:35-43. The Lazarus Life is a wonderful resource for understanding the incredible transforming power of Jesus. We hit on a couple of really important things about this story. Is the word used to describe the inte...

Thursday, May 30, 2013. Doing What You Think You Can't Do. As we looked at Acts 9 yesterday, we talked about the feeling of “I can’t do this,” and learning to press into the grace and power of Jesus in those times in our lives. One of the things that I love about the book of Acts – one of my favorite books of the Bible – is that it’s full of moments like this. Ordinary people called by an extraordinary Savior to do extraordinary things. Today’s reading from Acts 10. Peter was preaching to the Jews who ha...
