This message series through Hebrews 11 may be one of the best we've put together.  Invite your friends for this coming Sunday as we profile Enoch's life and talk about seeking God.  This week's video features Victor Lopez sharing his story about how he went after God in the middle of 3 years of physical trauma.  Truly remarkable people.

Here is this past Sunday's audio and video.

Amazing People

We are about half way through filming. I'm humbled to be associated with these guys.  Insanely human, yet full of faith.

I haven't had sex since 1983

We sent out some sexy postcards and phone calls today for our Sexual Revolution series.  I wish we would would have laid down a Barry White soundtrack on our phone calls.  That would have been awesome.  Oh well.

I know the postcards began hitting mailboxes today when we got a call from someone upset that we were talking about sexuality in church.  She kind of chewed us out pretty well, really well actually.  Then, she declared that she hadn't had sex since 1983.  I believe her.

Why Should the Church Talk about Sex?!

10. Becuase the divorce rate in the church is the same as outside the church.  It seems like everyone is talking about sex BUT THE CHURCH!
9. Because 36% of marriages that have experienced an affair end in divorce.
8. Because of those marriages that stay together, only 78% describe the marriages as happy.
7. Because only 22% of people who have "casual sex" walk away feeling empowered or good about themselves.
6. Because 49% of high school students have had sex.
5. Because parents are more likely to think about divorce than non-parents.
4. Because all first marriages have an average duration of 8.3 years.
3. Because the net worth for married individuals near retirement is $420,000 while divorced individuals is $132,000.
2. Because 47% of fathers and 30% of mothers stop visiting their kids at least annually after a divorce.
1. Because the Bible is full of God-breathed wisdom on sex and we need a Sexual Revolution!

It is coming...

We are days away.  It is coming.

Hittin' the Sauce: God on Alcohol

Since the east Homestead power grid went down during our worship set yesterday, there is no podcast.  I wish I could fire up the audio from yesterday's message on "Christians and Beer."  Instead, I uploaded some notes for you to peruse.  Download it here.
