In 1 Timothy 1:5 Paul writes to Timothy, urging him to love with a pure heart, good conscience and sincere faith. These qualities allow us to serve out of a genuine love of Christ and not one of self. Are you serving Christ out of Paul's charge or for what you can get?

So Loved (Week 5)

May 26, 2014 20:02 - 22.1 MB

Love is missing in our generation. We all seek an unconditional, agape love, which we understand inherently. We search in vain to find such love in our own flesh when the truth is, only God can provide what we seek.

So Loved (Week 4)

May 18, 2014 19:57 - 15.2 MB

This Sunday, Billy Humphrey, the newest member of the Engage team, delivers a powerful message rooted in Luke 15. In this scripture Jesus gives the parable of the prodigal son where two distinctly lost brothers, through their own father, are shown the matchless love of our Heavenly Father.

May 11, 2014 19:59 - 17.2 MB

How many times have we heard these words recited during a wedding ceremony? "Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." Beautifully spoken, to say the least. But how often do we fully examine this passage and what God is communicating to us through it? In week 3 of our 'So Loved' series, Pastor Adrian delivers a compelling word to do just that.

So Loved (Week 2)

May 04, 2014 23:23 - 17.5 MB

Love is a word that can invoke many different reactions. Some good, some bad, depending on the perspective.

Easter Sunday

April 21, 2014 12:11 - 17.4 MB

In His resurrection, many of Jesus' followers did not recognize Him as the man they had followed to the cross. As His followers today, we also fail to remember Jesus for who He is. We wish Him to be what our preferences hope for and miss the reality of His true identity as Lord and Saviour.

Palm Sunday

April 15, 2014 14:07 - 18.7 MB

On Palm Sunday it is important that we recognize the significance of the triumphal entry described in Luke 19. It is at this moment that Jesus establishes Himself as king; a king who would rule like no other; not to conquer nations, but the hearts and minds of those who would follow Him.

Flawless (Week 1)

March 10, 2014 00:14 - 19.8 MB

At the beginning of the year people are always making New Year's resolutions. Today, Pastor Adrian encourages us to not settle for behavior modification, but to accept Jesus' plan to revolutionize our entire lives. In our own strengths our resolutions rarely ever make it to the end of the year. Rather we should receive Jesus' finished work on the cross that allows and enables us to be changed at our core.

We lost Jesus

God with us

December 16, 2013 04:28 - 47.2 MB

One of Jesus' names, all of which allow us to peer into the nature of our savior, is Emmanuel. When translated it literally means God with us. Jesus willingly stepped out of heaven to be with us, to be the example that we should all emulate. Today we explore Jesus Christ's example to us in how he taught us how to live, how to serve and how to suffer.

The Gift - 12-8-13

December 10, 2013 04:16 - 23.6 MB

Christmas is a time when gifts are given and received. The greatest gift in history was when God sent down His son Jesus to the earth. This gift, however, has met up against the greatest opposition of any other gift in through all time. The greatest obstacle to receiving this wonderful gift is the perspective held by the receiver. We examine the difference between those who had a skewed perspective of Jesus birth which caused the gift to not be received, while also looking to those who waite...

What will you do with Him?

December 02, 2013 15:44 - 45.1 MB

In our country today, true Christian belief has been, in large part, replaced by a hodgepodge of beliefs. Jesus' gospel message, at times, is in direct opposition to the belief systems at work in our culture. The question then becomes: At the end of your life where will you stand with Jesus based on His teachings?

November 24, 2013 21:52 - 38.6 MB

What were you created to do? This question is posed by people of all ages, from the child in elementary school to the 45 year old who has been in the workforce for years. God has divinely created us in such a way that we flourish when we combine those inherent gifts and the needs of our society

Made to Work (Week 3) - Work Revealed

November 17, 2013 22:40 - 45.1 MB

Our culture today fosters the desire inside of us to idolize our occupation. We gain our identity through the significance that we attach to our occupation. The question is will we lay down our idols associated with our occupation and learn to receive our significance through the only one truly worthy of our worship, Jesus.

Made To Work (Week 2) - Work Dignified

November 10, 2013 21:52 - 19.3 MB

Scars & Stories (Week 4) - Aftermath

October 27, 2013 17:53 - 24.4 MB

This Sunday Pastor Clayton Bell delivers a powerful message addressing the aftermath of the events, which produce our scars. We are not guaranteed a life free of suffering. In fact, we are promised a life of trial marked by scars. The question we must answer is, will we be defined by, or refined by the trials in our lives?

Scars & Stories (Week 3) - Idols

October 21, 2013 13:56 - 23 MB

In life, we all want good things, for ourselves and for each other. But what we perceive as good may not be what God has for us. Often our expectations do not align with God's plan. Our challenge is to embrace what's in front of us and seek God through it all.

Scars & Stories (Week 2) - Self-Inflicted

October 14, 2013 11:03 - 21.4 MB

Many times scars result from self-inflicted wounds. It's important that we recognize the significance of sin and the consequences they have on our souls. Our culture has a tendency to treat sin like a common cold, when really it's more like a cancer, which starts small, but spreads when left untreated, ultimately resulting in death.

Scars & Stories (Week 1) - The Purpose of Pain and Suffering

October 07, 2013 23:21 - 17.5 MB

September 04, 2013 00:52 - 22.8 MB

Confession. It's a word that stirs our soul. None of us want to show vulnerability, but sin seeks to isolate. Confession brings community, not only with each other, but with God. With confession comes humility, relationship and the life God intends us to live.

August 27, 2013 01:07 - 21.8 MB

#NoFilter - Week 5 (Burden of Proof)

July 23, 2013 00:26 - 20.7 MB

Human experience leads us to place things, and people, in categories. However, our human experience is one that leads us down treacherous paths. The Gospel leads us on a different path; God's path.

#NoFilter - Week 3 (Special Message)

July 15, 2013 23:36 - 22.4 MB

In light of recent events in the US, our message this week focuses on the way each of us can approach volatile situations with an unbiblical nature; a nature of posturing to appease our own emotion; a nature that is self-centered and not biblically focused.
