SECURE IN CHRIST - No Condemnation
June 27, 2014 20:33 - 24 minutes - 22.5 MBThe gospel message is one of hope for all. Through Christ we are redeemed and will face no condemnation for our wrongdoing. We can find security in Him. Based on Romans 8:1.
SECURE IN CHRIST - Exhaustion & Grace
June 26, 2014 15:12 - 24 minutes - 22.8 MBAre you obsessed with saving your own life? If so, you will lose it. There is a Savior that finished the task for us all. We need to accept it and let go of trying to work out our own payment for salvation. Don't fall prey to PERFORMANCISM.
SECURE IN CHRIST - Identity
June 13, 2014 17:27 - 31 minutes - 29 MBWhere do you find your identity? Many times we have identity problems and don't know it. We may become obsessed with what others want from us to the point that we toil with changing who we are to fit what's expected. With God, we become what He designed us to be and what glorifies Him. Our source for life and reason must be rooted in God.
SECURE IN CHRIST - Saved By Grace
June 06, 2014 19:40 - 34 minutes - 31.2 MBMartin Luther was one of the most pivotal figures of our time, revolutionizing modern Christianity with the advent of the protestant movement and the reformation. His conviction about being saved by grace and not by works changed everything for him and changes everything for us. Our futures are secure and we find our motivation to live for Christ because of this great gift. What does the gift of salvation mean for you? Have you received it?
A Love that Changes Things
May 30, 2014 15:43 - 25 minutes - 23.7 MBWe are not to push people to change their ways with regards to following Christ and living for Him. We are only to love people with the love of Christ, so much so that they want to live for Him. Do you look at people with the eyes of a judge or a doctor?
The Gift of No
May 16, 2014 15:28 - 26 minutes - 24.1 MBA Mother's Day message about setting boundaries. Many times we can overload ourselves to the point that we are ineffective with the most important duties we have. We may have our reasons for always saying "yes", but God wants us to be careful how much we commit to. Jesus was a good example of balancing commitments and guarding from manipulation by others. We all are given the gift of being able to say "no" when necessary.
Hope
May 13, 2014 14:16 - 30 minutes - 54.9 MBMany times life can kill our dreams, but Jesus can bring the dreams back to life. He can provide resurrection because of His resurrection. Hope is Jesus.

The Problem of Suffering and the Suffering Servant
May 02, 2014 20:58 - 30 minutes - 28.2 MBWe tend to avoid suffering whenver we can. Pain is not acceptable in our culture. Yet, as Christians, we are called to be living sacrifices for the One who sacrificed it all.

Resurrection Hope

TRANSFORMED - Transforming My Relationships
April 04, 2014 21:51 - 30 minutes - 28 MBThe Christian life is one of submitting. You surrender to God fully and you surrender to others in relaitonships. An attitude of wanting to win and getting your way is not healthy for relationships. God wants us to transform the way we treat relationships.
TRANSFORMED - Transforming How I Feel
April 03, 2014 14:39 - 22 minutes - 20.4 MBWe need to learn how to question our emotions. Just because you feel something is right doesn't make it right. God wants us to transform our lives to keep from having our feelings dictate our direction.
TRANSFORMED - Transforming How I Think
March 21, 2014 18:55 - 31 minutes - 28.6 MBTo be the people God wants us to be, we must allow Him to transform our thinking. We must not allow mental strongholds to dominate our lives. God wants to change our core process from the inside out.

TRANSFORMED - Transforming My Heart
March 07, 2014 16:10 - 24 minutes - 22.6 MBThere are forces in this world that will continue to keep you from becoming more like Christ.

FOLLOW - Listening
February 27, 2014 21:22 - 27 minutes - 25 MBJesus said, "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them and they follow me." If we are really followers of the Lord, we will listen and follow after Him. Listening to God is so critical if we want to be a disciple.
FOLLOW - Following
February 27, 2014 21:12 - 24 minutes - 22.1 MBAre you a fan or a follower of Jesus? There's a big difference between the two concepts. Jesus promises life to those who truly follow. And, following means that sacrifice, submission and obedience will be required.
Resolve 2014 - Idolatry
February 07, 2014 18:24 - 26 minutes - 24.1 MBIdolatry is a systemic problem we all share in our lives. The key to seeing idolatry correctly is to understand what idols do to us in our relationship with God. Anything that detracts from our focus and devotion to God is an idol. Final message in the series RESOLVE 2014.
Resolve 2014 - Real
February 06, 2014 18:20 - 27 minutes - 25.1 MBYou can know a lot about God, but not truly know Him. This message challenges us to fully experience God in our lives.

January 24, 2014 14:52 - 22 minutes - 20.7 MBReal commitment takes two things: Positive steps towards a goal and dealing decisively by burning up anything that can take you away from that goal.

Resolve 2014 - Identity
January 17, 2014 20:37 - 30 minutes - 27.5 MBWhen our identity is wrapped up in our possessions, our sexuality, our nationalism or our relationships, we fail to follow Christ and make Him our identity. To follow Him, we must let go of things that captivate our passion. Just as the young ruler experienced, we are faced with sacrificing ourselves to be a real disciple. Where do you find your identity?
Resolve 2014 - The Mind
January 10, 2014 17:39 - 15 minutes - 14.1 MBThe mind is amazing. You can decide to be pure or not in all that you think, feel and do. Your life is tied to these decisions.

The Upside Down Church
January 03, 2014 17:37 - 19 minutes - 18.1 MBSo much of what Jesus is all about is the opposite of the way our world works. The gospel works from the inside out as it changes people in this manner.
The 'Why' of Christmas
January 03, 2014 17:31 - 28 minutes - 26.4 MBWe usually don't address the question of why Jesus came to earth as a baby so long ago. The words, "For unto you a Savior is born", is so important for all of us. Why did He come? A unique Christmas message.

December 19, 2013 18:32 - 21 minutes - 19.6 MBWe are all born needing a Savior. The depravity of man is something that is part of our reality. Jesus being born into this world means that God has given a way for us to deal with this depravity or brokenness.

Jesus Says - MEEK SERVANTS
November 20, 2013 22:06 - 27 minutes - 25.4 MBMeekness is often confused with a whimpy kind of term. It really is power under control. Jesus taught and even exemplified being a servant with much power to convict those around him. Many times, one cannot argue with goodness. If we are to be like Jesus and become a strong witness, we must submit ourselves to serving others. Our goodness will point to our God. Meekness is a challenging characteristic to put on, but extrememly effective in winning souls for Christ and loving as Jesus w...
Jesus Says - CASTING STONES
November 14, 2013 20:19 - 33 minutes - 30.9 MBOne of the most convicting stories from the Bible regarding Jesus was when He stopped accusers from stoning an adultress woman. The powerful statement He made at that time was, "Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her". This confrontation is disturbing even today when we think about how unworthy we are of making judgment on others. A great message that points once again to the power of Jesus and His words.
Jesus Says - GOLDEN RULE
November 14, 2013 18:21 - 22 minutes - 20.5 MBFirst installment of the series Jesus Says. One principle that Jesus stood for and talked about was for us to treat others as we would want to be treated. This behavior is many times backwards to how the world would commonly treat others.
Hupokrites
October 25, 2013 20:52 - 31 minutes - 57.8 MBMask wearing isn't just something we do for fun this time of year. Mask wearing is all too often the common thing to do.

And, He wants us to be authentic before Him and those around us. What kind of mask could you be wearing? Are you needing to confess some wrongs and become restored through Christ? End the hy...
Christian Influence
October 25, 2013 18:09 - 23 minutes - 21.8 MBWe're seeing our culture in this world shift from seeing Christianity as positive and real to less significant and negative.

Are you willing to stand up for your faith? In Christ there is hope for those who love Him.
When My Best Is Not Enough
October 11, 2013 18:40 - 24 minutes - 22.3 MBFor some reason, we are all hard wired to think that we've got to work to be right with God. The truth is that the work has already been done by Jesus.

A City On A Hill
September 13, 2013 18:14 - 26 minutes - 24.6 MBIn a world of cynicism and negatvism, there's still hope for the church. God's not done yet.

Are you living like a city on a hill?
Reclaiming Men - Real Men
September 06, 2013 15:32 - 30 minutes - 27.6 MBWhat is a real man like? Many do not seem to fully know. The Bible tells us a lot about the qualities of a real man - a man that God is pleased with. Some men are over-manly yet some are under-manly in the context of what our culture defines one to be.

Based on David Murrow's research and teachings.
Getting Love Right
August 16, 2013 19:18 - 27 minutes - 24.7 MBWe live in a culture where we learn the wrong definition of love. God has created something much more valuable than we make it. This message is all about Getting Love Right.
REAL - Humility
July 26, 2013 17:35 - 24 minutes - 22.2 MBHumility is similar to meekness.

May 31, 2013 18:47 - 25 minutes - 23.1 MBHonesty is always the best policy. The scripture tells us to confess - be honest with God and one another. The truth is that if we live REAL like this, we will find that our lives are so much more free, peaceful and fulfilling. First of the series REAL.
Mother's Day and Submission
May 17, 2013 16:58 - 26 minutes - 23.8 MBThe subject of submission gets distorted by culture, opinion and difference in gender. Scripture tells the wife to submit to their husband, but it also tells the husband to treat his wife as Jesus treats the church with deep love, sacrifice and honor.
