“Loving God Back: The Practice of Passionate Worship” by John Collins

Texts: Exodus 3.7-12, 8.1; Hebrews 10.19-25; and Luke 10.25-28

This was the second in our six part sermon series titled “Six Practices of Fruitful Living” which is based, somewhat loosely, on Five Practices of Fruitful Living by Robert Schnase. We’ve made enough changes that he may or may not want to be associated with it.

I was happier with the way this sermon came off in the 10:50 service, but during that service, our recording equipment was locked in my office. So I’ve recorded a podcast version.

“Receiving God’s Love: The Practice of Radical Hospitality” by John Collins

Texts: John 3.1-17 and 1 John 4.16b-19

This was the first in our six part sermon series titled “Six Practices of Fruitful Living” which is based, somewhat loosely, on Five Practices of Fruitful Living by Robert Schnase. We’ve made enough changes that he may or may not want to be associated with it.

This sermon had more than 30 slides, which, sadly, are not available on an audio podcast. But I listened all the way through it and I think it still makes sense.
