WYBIGB - You Don't Trust Him
August 01, 2021 17:14 - 28.3 MBWe wrap up our WYBIGB series today. "When you believe in God, but...you don't trust him." Worry can paralyze us. We get too concerned about what might happen and we forget that God is in control. And we forget how much he really loves us. Don't be a worrier. Be a warrior!
WYBIGB - You Don't Pray
July 25, 2021 23:08 - 9.53 MBYou know what power we have if we have a relationship with Christ? Because of our belief in Him, we are given 24/7 access to the God of the universe. When Jesus walked this earth, he taught us how to pray. And yet, we don't do it, for a variety of reasons.
WYBIGB - You Don't Give
July 18, 2021 16:46 - 32.2 MBFinances. Such a touchy subject to bring up in most circumstances. Churches in particular are criticized for bringing up money. But Jesus was concerned about money. He didn't need it. He just knew that people tend to become fascinated with it, even to the point of pursuing it instead of God. Where you spend your money is a great litmus test on what you value. So, are you a giver? If not, what is holding you back. Doc Pattison, our preaching minister, has got a challenge for you, one that come...
WYBIGB - You Lust in Your Heart
July 04, 2021 21:02 - 29.1 MBWe've all been guilty of coming up with lines we shouldn't cross, then we cross them anyway. What if identifying the line wasn't really the point? Jesus taught about freedom from sin. He wants us to be from what all of that entails. Our worry, guilt and shame over such things can be debilitating. When Jesus spoke about lust in his sermon on the mount, he started a few phrases with: "You've heard it said..." Society, family, friends, religion, peers all give us a line we shouldn't cross. But J...
WYBIGB - You Have an Angry Heart
June 27, 2021 12:59 - 27.8 MBHow's your heart? Is it full of joy? Peace? Love and mercy? Most of us can say we have some measure of love within us. We are certainly capable of it. But God calls us to love everybody. Everybody. Sounds impossible! It is, apart from Christ. He has called us to a higher standard. He wants us to not let anger rule over us. All too often, we let our "micro-aggressions" take over. And then, we just seem angry all the time. Also, it was Sunglasses Sunday. Which is kinda weird.
WYBIGB - You Don't Share Your Faith
June 20, 2021 12:58 - 26.8 MBJesus said we are the salt of the earth, the light of the world. If the people in our lives are truly in darkness, why aren't we doing everything in our power to bring them to the light? Join us as we continue our series: When You Believe in God, But...
WYBIGB - You're Not Really Good
June 13, 2021 12:52 - 26.2 MBToday's message comes from a famous sermon Jesus preached. He spoke about people who were blessed and happy. We focused today on a particular set of "happy" people: those who are pure in heart. Jesus said they were happy and blessed because they will get to see God. What an awesome reward! Most of us can admit that our hearts are far from pure. We need to align it with Jesus' heart so we get to see our Father.
WYBIGB - You Don't Really Need Him
June 06, 2021 23:56 - 28.4 MBWe start a new series today. We call it "WYBIGB." When you believe in God, but... It's not enough to just believe that God exists. You have to acknowledge that you NEED him. And when you do, you are able to experience what life is truly about. Because God knows that you need him. When you acknowledge it, he is ready to help fill that need within you and change you into something extraordinary.
Follow Me - Where Else Would We Go?
May 30, 2021 21:53 - 28.8 MBWhen you look at all the world has to offer, you may be tempted to go down many paths that lead away from the Lord. But when you've tested Jesus and followed after Him, there's no other way that is more appealing. Today, Doc Pattison speaks about an interaction that Jesus had with his disciples. Many of Jesus' followers were deserting Him, and when they did, he turned to His closest followers and asked the question: "Are you leaving me, as well?" They answered Him with a question of their own...
Follow Me - Do You Want to Be Well?
May 23, 2021 13:35 - 28.8 MB"Do you want to be well?" What kind of question is that? Doesn't every sick person want to be healed? The truth is, sometimes sick people get used to their circumstances. They have learned to cope with it, maybe even benefit from it, and struggle to think what their life might look like if they were completely well. Jesus asked this question of a man who'd been sick for decades. And he's asking us, as well. Do YOU want to be well?
Follow Me - The Samaritan Woman
May 16, 2021 23:15 - 29.6 MBJesus interacted with all sorts of people. This week Doc Pattison discusses a conversation Jesus had with a Samaritan woman. She learned quickly that man was completely different from anyone she'd ever encountered. In her words: "he knew EVERYTHING about me." What a scary thought! But he also showed her true compassion and grace. She was able to find what she was looking for. Her Messiah, her Savior, was right in front of her. She had no problem answering the call to follow Him.
Follow Me - The Story of Nicodemus
May 09, 2021 12:57 - 30.7 MBNicodemus was given the opportunity to follow Jesus. Nicodemus met with him and heard about his message. And yet, chose to stay where he was comfortable. The challenge for each of us is to follow Jesus. The series that began today will focus on the stories of those who heard the message of Christ and made the decision to follow him.
Daily 247 - Confess Before Men
May 02, 2021 12:54 - 28.3 MBIt's easy to acknowledge Jesus as your Savior and Lord while in church. Jesus says that is not something you only do on a Sunday. He wants you to confess your allegiance to him daily.
Daily 247 - If Only I'd Known
April 25, 2021 15:04 - 23.9 MB"If I'd only known, I'd..." This phrase comes back to haunt us, doesn't it? Our senior minister, Doc Pattison, talks about this in regard to a passage in the book of Matthew. When Jesus tells this story, he speaks of a coming judgement when he will reward those who took care of HIM by caring for those in need: clothing the naked, giving a drink to the thirsty, and visiting the imprisoned. Punishment awaits for the ones who refuse to help. "But I would have helped if I'd known it was you, Jesu...
Daily 247 - Idle Words
April 18, 2021 20:36 - 31 MBJesus should have a powerful effect on each of us. As we learn to walk with him, our hearts change. We start looking more like him. And we start sounding more like him. Taking up our cross and following him daily means what comes out of our mouth will glorify him.
Daily 247 - Forgiveness
April 11, 2021 21:03 - 22 MBSo where does forgiveness come from and why does it matter? James Driver speaks in the first of our "Daily 247" series.
Will You - Take Up Your Cross (EASTER 2021)

Will You - Take Up Your Cross? (What if Jesus had said, "I Won't?"
March 28, 2021 13:23 - 37.8 MBJoin us as we explore a thought-provoking question: what if, at any point in his ministry, Jesus had said, "I won't take up my cross?" And, as we explore our own thoughts, what happens when we say that we will not follow his example.
Will You - Take Up Your Cross? (Lose a Life to Find It)
March 21, 2021 17:25 - 26.1 MBJoin us for Part 3 of our Series: Take Up Your Cross. Today we talk about losing a life to find it.
Will You - Take Up Your Cross? (No Fear)
March 14, 2021 18:34 - 29.6 MBWhat do you fear the most? An even better question: "what is more important to you than your fear?" Jesus wants us to fear ONLY God. We shouldn't concern ourselves with the things that could harm our body, knowing our attention and focus should be on the only one who can do anything about our soul.
Will You - Take Up Your Cross? (Do What?!)
March 07, 2021 13:52 - 31.6 MBJoin us as Stephen Pattison discusses another facet of the phrase: "take up your cross?" When one is faced with suffering, he or she may respond with incredulity. "That's not what I signed up for, is it?"
Will You - Deny Yourself (Hate Your Momma)
February 28, 2021 23:52 - 31.1 MBWhoa! Let's not talk about mothers. Well, we did it. We don't REALLY want you to hate your mom. Jesus said in order to be his disciple you have to put Him first. In fact, in comparison with your love for Him, it should look like everything else is worthless. It should look like you hate your mom, dad, family, even yourself when you put it up against your love for God.
Will You - Deny Yourself (More than These)
February 21, 2021 18:29 - 37.3 MBJesus asked one of his followers, Peter, a question more than once. He said, "Do you love me more than THESE?" Join us this week as Vern Huber discusses what "THESE" could mean. Are you putting Jesus Christ first in your life?
Will You - Deny Yourself (The Rich Young Ruler)
February 14, 2021 23:55 - 27.9 MBWe are continuing our "Will You?" series. Join Doc as he discusses Jesus and the rich young ruler. This pious man came to Jesus seeking his next steps. Jesus gave him a task that the man didn't feel he could accomplish. Sell all he had? Give it to the poor and follow? The price was just too steep.
Will You? Deny Yourself (Foxes and Birds)
February 07, 2021 20:51 - 28.3 MBWe want to be followers of Jesus. Jesus tells us to prioritize Him above all. Get rid of the excuses. Put Jesus FIRST. Join Doc as he speaks about what it takes to follow Jesus - denying ourselves.

Is He Really Coming Back?
October 25, 2020 22:47 - 57.4 MBOur final sermon in "The Way Out" series. Jesus is the way out of a dead end life. He has promised to return at some point. Our job isn't to predict the day, just to be ready for it. What does that look like?
Is Jesus the ONLY Way?
October 18, 2020 12:57 - 29.5 MBThe world tells us there are many ways to God. But Jesus himself said there is only one way. He is the way, the truth and the life.
Did He Really Rise From the Dead?
October 11, 2020 23:14 - 75.3 MBDoc and our executive minister, Jon, tackle this important question in our "Way Out" series. As always, it's not WHAT you know, but WHO you know. All of history revolves around what Jesus did for us. We celebrate his death, burial and resurrection with our daily lives. There better be some pretty outstanding evidence to hinge everything upon. The fact is: there is!
Why Did He Die?
October 04, 2020 21:21 - 75.3 MBWhy did he have to die? The idea of a sacrifice doesn't sit well with us. But that is what atonement is all about. It is hard to fathom a God loving us so much that He'd go to extremes to make sure we were a part of His family. But that is exactly what He did.
What Was He Like?
September 27, 2020 16:36 - 56.8 MBEver wonder what Jesus was really like? People in the Bible were drawn to him. They just couldn't get enough of him. He was able to see them EXACTLY as they were, and he loved them anyway. He had an uncanny knack for unmasking people and showing them grace.
Why Did He Come?
September 20, 2020 21:56 - 112 MBQuestions, questions, questions. In this series, entitled, "The Way Out," we ask questions about Jesus. This week, Doc asks, "Why Did He Come?"
Why Do I Care?
September 13, 2020 17:07 - 55.6 MBWe started a new series today entitled, "The Way Out." Those who have an intimate relationship with Jesus know that He is the way out. Out of their past. Out of their struggles. Out of their addictions. He is the one who gives freedom. The message today focused on getting to know the Jesus from the Bible. Why should you care about Him?
All You Ever Wanted to Know About Baptism
September 06, 2020 18:13 - 44.3 MBOK, that may be overstating it a bit. But James Driver preaches on baptism. Why is it so important? This is the full worship service from September 6, 2020.
