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.

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.
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.
World Falling Apart? Buy a Field.
In Jeremiah 32:1-15, the prophet Jeremiah gives an answer to the ultimate question: why is there evil in the world? But his answer is a little strange; he explains how the Lord told him to buy a field. Click the link below to hear Pastor David explain the situation and apply this passage to today’s world.
Whom Will You Serve?
On Sunday, September 19, Pastor David spoke about our call to serve the Lord instead of money. With the annual business meeting just around the corner, this is a timely message! The main sermon passage is Luke 16:1-15, the parable of the dishonest manager. We also read from Amos 8:4-7, which Pastor David references occasionally. Click the link below to listen.
A Trustworthy Saying
On Sunday, September 12, 2010, Pastor David preached from 1 Timothy 1:12-17. In this passage, Paul writes to Timothy about a trustworthy saying: Christ Jesus came to save sinners, of whom he is the worst. Click below to hear Pastor David’s application of this passage to today’s world!
How the Kingdom Works
The prophecy given by Isaiah in Isaiah 58:9-14 contains two different emphases. Click the link below to hear Pastor David’s sermon about how our worship life (inside the church building) cannot be separated from our mission life (outside the church building).
Family Ties
In Luke 12:49-59, Jesus says some pretty uncomfortable things. Did he really come to divide families against each other? Can our bond to the Lord be stronger than our family ties? Click the link below to hear Pastor David’s interpretation of this difficult passage.
