Author: Tom Harrington, Senior Pastor.

Series: Flow – Part 3 of 7.

Text: Matthew 11:28-31.

Title: Why Change Is So Hard.

Theme: Real spiritual change can be quite difficult, especially since there are various issues and struggles (sins) in which we can get wrapped up. In order to get “unwrapped” and in order to have genuine spiritual change, we need grace – we need to know how to exist in the flow of (or how to dance with) the Spirit. [The sermon will include a treatment of Psalm 51 and King David.]

Title: Living Out of Your Mind.

Theme: Following two general observations about how we grow spiritually: (1) disciples are hand-crafted, not mass produced; and, (2) no matter how much you grow spiritually, you will always be you], the main focus of the sermon will be a consideration of how the Spirit can flow in our minds.
