Overcomers- Holy Spirit

Posted by Erik Hall on

What’s in it for me! Isn’t this the question of our times? “What’s in it for me?” captures our compulsion to self-interest. “What’s in it for me?” drives our everyday consumer expectations and decisions. We often look to be served, entertained...

Overcomers- A Conquering Faith

Posted by Erik Hall on

One of the hardest things to do in raising teenagers is convincing them that you, the parent, know better than they do. I say its one of the hardest things…   its actually darn near impossible! Something happens to a child when they become a teenager that makes them think they...

Overcomers- Strength

Posted by Erik Hall on

There are a lot of persistent challenges that are weighing us down these days. When we are persistently weighed down…   we soon become worn down and vulnerable. Mental health experts are frequently and forcefully reminding us that it is an opportune time for conditions like...

Overcomers- Endurance

Posted by Erik Hall on

What do we call discipleship in our churches these days? When we say ‘discipleship’ we are often referring to in-church meetings and gatherings (now taking place on Zoom and Facebook) in which we listen to a sermon, reflect on the Christian life, study and discuss the truth of...

Overcomers- Hope

Posted by Erik Hall on

Our culture encourages bold self-confidence. How often have we heard the phrase “you’ve got to sell yourself”? Commonly, this leads to vanity, bragging, one-upmanship, and quite frankly, crass narcissistic behavior. At its best, boasting is a sign of confidence. Most of us...

Posted by Erik Hall on

Doesn’t it seem like peace is hard to come by? Any peace and every peace seem to be rare to find and fleeting to experience. We yearn for inner peace, peace of mind, peace with others, peace in circumstances, peace in decisions, but what we seem to get, more often than not, is worry...

Easter- Doubt & Faith

Posted by Erik Hall on

The first hours and days following Jesus’ resurrection were filled with fear and amazement and doubt and wonder. Jesus appeared to a few of his friends…   and these few friends went to tell the others. Some believed and some didn’t. Some acted and some didn’t...

The Wilderness- Hope Endures

Posted by Erik Hall on

As we journey through Holy Week, we continue our Lenten theme of ‘wilderness’. Since Ash Wednesday we have been reflecting on the wilderness journey of our human experience, our faith and spirituality, our church…   and, in these past weeks, a global pandemic...

The Wilderness- Hosanna!

Posted by Erik Hall on

God is always at work. Let’s say that again…   GOD is ALWAYS at WORK. Before I came to Christ, one of my very first encounters with God was an invitation to pray. I was encouraged (by a faithful Christian friend) to pray to God to show me that God exists and is present in...

We are the Church- No Matter What

Posted by Erik Hall on

We are saved by God's grace and given new life in the death and resurrection of Jesus. Our lives are God's. Jesus called his followers into a 'household'' of faith, the church. Empowered by the gift of the Holy Spirit, this community of faith, IS the Body of Christ, God’s way to bring the...
