Follow Jesus: Resist

The path of least resistance…   it is not only established by physics and natural law…   it is part of our human experience as well. Things naturally progress according to the path of least resistance. It is easy to go downhill. It is difficult to go uphill...

Follow Jesus: Commit

‘Cost’ is a four-letter word. In fact, when salespeople are being trained to sell everything from pick-up trucks to carpet cleaning services, they are taught never to use words like ‘cost’, ‘price’, and ‘expense’. This is because it places the...

Follow Jesus: Love

Posted by Erik Hall on

Since Lent is a season for Christian reflection, I’ve been thinking about Jesus’ call on his followers to LOVE. Of course, this call to love hits its peak in at least three prominent scenes in the Gospels. First (and these are not in chronological order), the call to love God with...

Follow Jesus: Surrender

Posted by Erik Hall on

It’s tough to be humble in our world today. There is so much pressure to be assertive (even aggressive), confident (even arrogant), proactive (even offensive). If we show any signs of deference, if we ever claim we aren’t sure of something, if we back-down to anyone for anything, we...

Lenten Journey 2019

Posted by Erik Hall on

Everyone knows that Easter is the most important and most celebrated Christian holiday of the year. We are not just celebrating the peace and joy of Jesus’ birth and God’s presence with us, like we do at Christmas. We are celebrating the reality that God loved the world so much that...

In 1 John 4:18 it says “perfect love casts out fear”. But, how many of us trust this? Usually, most of us just try to avoid the things we are afraid of. When Jesus calls us to follow him, he calls us to a courageous love that overcomes and casts out fear. Jesus said, “follow...

Be Not Afraid

What makes you feel most alive? What makes life worth living? There can be varied answers to these questions, but when it comes right down to it…   it’s a pretty short list. ‘Love’ is usually on that short list. The relationships we have with family, friends...

Audacious Love

Posted by Erik Hall on

I’ve been surfing for close to 40 years. I can honestly say that there hasn’t been a season of my life (through the best and worst of times) that surfing did not provide an anchoring experience of joy and fulfillment. And I treasure it immensely. But, is NOT what my life revolves...

Winter Worship Theme: Love Does

Posted by Erik Hall on

As we embark on the journey of 2019 we will be challenging ourselves to 'do' the love that God calls us to. We can't just study it. We can't just plan and make strategies about it. We can't just observe others doing it. We, ourselves, must leap into the adventure that Jesus is calling us...
