Summary
God’s love, human choice, and baptism. Each is a sermon in it’s own right, but each is related to the other. Eric explores how human choice–even when that choice is an evil one–is an expression of God’s love towards mankind. This gift of choice makes love possible. Baptism is an exercise of choice to publicly submit to God, and then live out God’s love in every area of our lives with the power God supplies.

Summary
Eric walks through weighty matters that many Christians neglect–faithfully attending fellowship and faithfully tithing. Both these acts carry a lot of weight with God–weighty blessing. Failure to do either of these robs God of the opportunity to bless us.

Listen in and find out how these weightier things of God ought to show up in our own lives, and though us, to the world.

Summary
Our de-mythologizing series continues. This week Eric begins to focus on heaven. The questions asked about patriotism naturally lead into questions about the homeland we are supposed to represent among our family, friends, and co-workers. Is heaven a place or state of mind? Is heaven a place of work or recreation? Who goes there, and how? Discover the answers in this week’s Salt Mine Sunday Sermon.
