Where do I fit in? Isn’t that a question that everyone asks? Whenever you start anything new: a new job, a new school, a new team, a new town, one of the first things you do is try to figure out where you fit in.

Praise God that he doesn’t pay us by contract. Thank the Lord that he has chosen to be generous. It’s all grace, and grace is not fair.

This might have been one of the hardest sermons I’ve ever had to write. Not hard in the sense that I didn’t know what I was going to write. But hard in the sense knowing how much I was going to have to leave out.

f someone described the life that you are called to live as a Christian as oxymoronic, how would you react? Would you think they were insulting you?

Jumbo shrimp, paid volunteer, and pretty ugly are all examples of oxymorons.

Today I’m going to talk about roots. But I’m not talking about plant roots. I’m talking about people's roots. Maybe you’ve heard the phrase, “Don’t forget where you come from.”
