Knowing God With Heart and Mind

Our fundamental goal is ”knowing God.” The essential assumption is that the Bible is God’s message to humanity so that God will be known and loved by God’s Creation. The Bible is sufficient in and of itself, so that thoughtful study of it will lead to ever-increasing intimacy with God. Each week we’ll endeavor to engage Scripture and tradition and to bring them into our present reality. Since I am a working pastor I will use the same sources for this podcast that inform my weekly preaching and teaching duties. These days I am drawing upon the Revised Common Lectionary. This examination of the Word will be based on all but one of the scheduled readings from the RCL, since a podcast of my weekly sermon message covering one of the readings is already posted each week.

  Aug 3, 202627 min

  In this episode from the "Hero Makers" series, Pastor Dan celebrates recent community outreach—Vacation Bible School, a Back to School Bash, and more—and explains how the church is called to be a means of Gods grace by serving others. Using Luke 10 (the sending of the 72), he urges believers to go "two by two," offer the peace of Christ, form small discipleship bands, and become catalysts for change rather than mere consumers. The message emphasizes practical discipleship: anchor yourself in Christ, pour grace through your life, and move confidently into the places God has appointed you to serve.

Ultimately, the message calls on the congregation to become "hero makers" who empower the next generation of spiritual leaders.
