Solomon was given a special gift of wisdom and reigned in a time of peace and prosperity.  As he ages and sees his kingdom slipping from his hands, he focuses on his son, and his ability to succeed.  His son, however, was Rehoboam and he was not a very wise person.  This Sunday, My Heart: Gone Wrong But Set Right begins with Solomon and ends with our personal struggle with the heart. 

We’re starting a new series, For Better Or Worse.  We live in the “Me-Now” generation.  Nowhere is this seen than in the area of marriage failure.  Placing personal happiness over the welfare of our families and God’s honor has contributed to breakdown of our greatest American institution. 

  In part two of Illness & Healing, we will look at illness through the lens of Psalm 6.  This psalm provides a glimpse into David’s personal life and his struggle with sin and illness.  His words are insights for us as we face health issues. 

There has never been a culture like ours that provides so much convenience.  Who needs the mall; we have Amazon.com?  We get what we want and when we want it.  Convenience can be a good thing, but it can mess with us spiritually.  This Sunday, An Inconvenient Christianity.  Is the church offering a religious experience that demands nothing?

Jesus had been working for three and one-half years for this moment.  He had been teaching, healing, and serving – all of which shook up the social system of Judaism.  Now, He’s entering Jerusalem – the one place He shouldn’t be if He wanted to live.  This Sunday, Passion Week Begins With Palm Sunday, and principles that touch us today.
