Speaker: Pastor Dan Latta
This message concludes our journey through the book Practicing The Way by John Mark Comer. We look at how our goal in spiritual formation is to look more like Jesus and less like ourselves. The sermon focuses on how using a Rule of Life, a plan to follow Jesus, can be a helpful tool in doing this. We also discuss how the measuring stick of our spiritual formation is love.
Speaker: Pastor Dan Latta
In this message we move from forgiveness to confession and repentance so that we can ultimately heal broken relationships.
* Note- During the message there is a five minute period where we had silent prayer. This time of silence has been edited down to 10 seconds on the recording so as not to have five minutes of "dead air" followed by the closing prayer.
Speaker: Pastor Dan Latta

This podcast is a combination of two messages I shared at Rock and Refuge Church regarding homosexuality. I chose to combine them into one for this podcast because the messages are designed to go together so if you only listen to one of them you get an incomplete picture.
The world has a lot to say about homosexuality. The church, not so much these days. That is why I felt so strongly that these ...
