On Sunday, May 5, I announced our church’s strategy for a second location along the 287 corridor on the West side of I -35. I have included the video from this important message in our church’s history above. You may also wish to read my notes from Sunday’s message as I have included them here.

This upcoming Sunday I am preaching on the church’s responsibility to address the needs of the poor and the hurting. This is the second sermon in a series on the core values of our church. I invite you to read ahead by examining Luke 10:25-37.
One of the true marks of a believer is a concern for the poor (1 John 3:17). In preparation for the message I came across this quote from Robert Murray M’Cheyne (1813-1843), a young Scottish minister who died at the age of 29. Read carefully and thoughtfully his words:
I fear there are Christians among you to whom Christ can say no such thing ["Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you..." (Matthew 25:34)]. Your haughty dwelling rises in the midst of thousands who have scarce a fire to warm themselves at, and have but little clothing to keep out the biting frost; and yet you never darkened their door. You heave a sigh, perhaps, at a distance; but you do not visit them. Ah! my dear friend! I am concerned for the poor but more for you. I know not what Christ will say to you in the great day . . . . I fear there are many hearing me who may know well that they are not Christians, because they do not love to give. To give largely and liberally, not grudging at all, requires a new heart; an old heart would rather part with its life-blood than its money. Oh my friends! enjoy your money; make the most of it; give none away; enjoy it quickly for I can tell you, you will be beggars throughout eternity.” [Source: The Works of the late Rev. Robert Murray McCheyne]
I am indebted to Timothy J. Keller’s Ministries of Mercy for calling my attention to this quote.

Celsus was a second century Greek philosopher who disliked the newly discovered Christian religion. He was the first person we know to express opposition to Christianity. Among his critiques of Christianity was his argument against the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Celsus felt that story of Christ’s resurrection was a fabrication because the accounts of it [...]
The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead on the third day is a fundamental tenet to authentic Christianity. If modern followers of Jesus abandoned this single truth, Jesus would be nothing more than a wise sage or a first century Palestinian rebel. Yet, there is much more at stake in the discussion of Jesus’ [...]
