Your purpose in life – Finally...

Submitted by CindyE on Wed, 02/01/2012 - 10:32am
Dear HCC Family,
 
This Sunday I will share with you your purpose in life. You’re stunned, I know!
 
Actually I know what you’re thinking; “Not another generic sermon on the big picture?” Well, it will be a sermon on the “big picture”, but hardly generic. Not because it’s me speaking, but because it’s the central call for every child of God.
 
Read Romans 11:36, 1 Corinthians 10, Matthew 15:8 in order to be ready to hear the Holy Spirit speaking to you during the sermon.

God Wants You To Live The Prosperous Life...

Submitted by CindyE on Thu, 01/26/2012 - 12:37pm
Dear HCC Family,
 
God does want you to live the prosperous life; however, our idea of prosperity and God’s idea is often at odds.  Please bear with me, the following is important.
 
Recently I learned about a particular Christian leader who was teaching about the year of Jubilee found in the Old Testament book of Leviticus.  If you read his interpretation of Leviticus 25, you will hear a thoroughly one-sided, myopic interpretation.  The casual reader in tough economic times might be sucked into the specious ill-conceived interpretation. 
 

Paid and un-paid positions open at HCC plus some other things...

Submitted by CindyE on Tue, 01/24/2012 - 9:00am
Dear HCC Family,
 
Below are several acute needs that the church has if you’re interested:
 
·       12 hour per week paid maintenance position at $10 per hour.  4 hours Saturday morning and 8 hours Sunday from 6am-2pm.  The employee will have the option of attending a worship service during work time on Sunday.  Please contact Pastor Cary Sharpe if interested cary.sharpe@heritagecc.net.
 

In the absence of Tim Tebow...

Submitted by CindyE on Fri, 01/20/2012 - 9:59am
Tim Tebow is the current quarterback for the professional football team, the Denver Broncos. He boldly expresses his faith in the public arena of pro football by kneeling in the end zone for a quick prayer of thanksgiving, enthusiastically pointing Heavenward recognizing that his talent comes from God and verbally expressing gratitude to God for any athletic achievement during the game.
 
Well last week God’s ubiquitous public figure was removed from the presence of the national media because his team lost in the playoffs.
 
So in the absence of Tim Tebow who are people going to talk about this week regarding Christianity? Who’s going to stand in the vacuum of public witness?   How about you?

Blindspots???

Submitted by CindyE on Tue, 01/10/2012 - 10:12am
Dear HCC Family,
 
A follow up word about last Sunday’s sermon.  I’m thoroughly aware that the 20 – 30 min time slot for Sunday sermons will not allow me to treat a subject fully.  So periodically I will follow up in order to close the loop on whatever “loose ends” I may have left undone on Sunday.
 
First, I realize that this past Sunday some could have got the idea that I was advocating a “works based” salvation.  Not at all!  Grace is free, but not cheap.  I was emphasizing the “...not cheap” part last Sunday.  The Bible is full of paradox; like dying to live, lose your life to gain your life, first shall be last and vice versa.  There are many a paradox in Scripture.  This is what I meant Sunday by saying that the free gift of grace requires sacrificing everything.
 

My tax guy is a professional gambler...is this a good thing???

Submitted by CindyE on Thu, 01/05/2012 - 12:19pm
Dear HCC,
 
In 2005 a couple other pastors on staff and I were shocked to find out that our tax guy is a professional gambler.  Furthermore, he was the newly crowned 2nd place runner up in the World Series of Poker – winning over 4 million dollars as the prize!
 
We were all shocked!  We simply could not reconcile the starched conservative accountant type guy we knew, and his recent gambling champion status.  Gambling demands risk at any level.  I imagine at the World Series of Poker it demands life-altering risk.  I still can’t imagine him engaging in anything involving significant risk.
 
Do you gamble?  Or should I say, do you risk?  Some would say that to drive the beltways during rush hour is a significant gamble or risk.  If we’re honest marriage is a gamble.  No person has any guarantee that his/her new spouse might not suffer a closed head injury or stroke and drastically change their personality in an instant.  Parenting is a gamble.  Couples roll the genetic dice and see what turns up.  No parent has any assurance that their child will never have any physical, social, academic, spiritual or relational failures.
