We have just begun having Sunday evening services at Mt. Haley. If you missed the first one, we’ll have one again next Sunday at 6pm! Throughout these services, Pastor David will be leading us through a study of Ephesians. The theme for this study is “God’s Intent for the Church” – looking at what Ephesians can teach us about healthy church life. This Sunday’s passage was Ephesians 1:1-14. Click the link below to hear what this passage says about being “to the praise of his glory.”
A Myth of Church Growth
On Sunday morning, October 10, Pastor David preached from Luke 17:11-19, the story of Jesus healing ten lepers. What does this story have to do with (a) last week’s installation service, (b) Pastor David’s subsequent cold, and (c) church growth issues? Click the link below to hear this message.
Preview: A Myth of Church Growth
Every church wants to grow, right? In fact, spreading the gospel is something Jesus commanded us to do. But growth for the sake of numbers isn’t always healthy – especially when it comes to “sheep-stealing.” What does this have to do with Luke 17:11-19, the story in which Jesus heals ten lepers and only one returns to thank him? Come worship with us on Sunday and we’ll explore together!

Installed…now what?
This past Sunday, we shared in a wonderful experience: the installation of Mt. Haley’s new pastor, yours truly. I’ve never been “installed” before, since this is the first church I’ve pastored. From my perspective, it was a exciting, humbling, and beautiful time. But now the question that begs to be asked is this: Now what?
It’s Not About Me
In Luke 17:5-10, the apostles ask Jesus for more faith. He responds by challenging them to consider themselves unworthy (or unnecessary) servants. What does this have to do with church life today (and Forrest Gump)? Click the link below to hear Pastor David’s sermon on this passage.
