It's fascinating that the career of Moses, one of the most impactful people to have ever lived, began with an epic fail.  This week we'll look to Moses; experience for guidance as to how we can recover from our own epic fails.  This is the second installment in our study of the life of Moses.

This week Pastor Jeff begins a new sermon series called "Lessons from the Life of Moses."  Moses is one of the most impactful figures in both human history and spiritual history.  We're going to learn so much from him -- practical lessons that we can apply to our daily lives.

This week we conclude our intensive study of the New Testament book of Colossians by focusing on Paul's closing words.  At first glance, our passage just appears to be a litany of personal notes directed at different individuals.  But as we dig into it, we'll see wonderful glimpses of what spiritual community is supposed to […]
