The Five Thresholds of Faith
Over the next five weeks, we are thinking about how to share our Christian faith with others. We'll look at research done by Intervarsity Christian Fellowship on college campuses about how people come to faith. IVCF has found that when people decide to follow Jesus, they step through each of five "thresholds," and they do so in pretty much the same order. We start with Threshold 1, Trust -- and making friends. Note the two handouts included here, from evangelism.intervarsity.org -- they are summaries of the sermons.

John 6
The sixth chapter of John has much to teach us about Jesus, the bread of life -- starting with Jesus' feeding over five thousand people bread and fish.

Summer Downtime: Reflections on Solitude and Silence
Summer is, for many people, a time of "downtime"-- time to go on vacation, to get some relaxation and refreshment. Can we use the summer months to seek some spiritual refreshment as well? In June and July, our series is about what we can learn from the Bible and our Christian tradition about spiritual refreshment and the Christian practice of solitude and silence.

After Easter
In the weeks following Easter, we considered the four Servant Songs in the Book of Isaiah, predictive of our Lord Jesus, Messiah-- the One who came not to be served, but to serve.

The Season of Lent: The Road to the Cross
