EGO - Ego and Being Offended
May 03, 2013 14:26 - 22 minutes - 20.5 MBOne who is easily offended is sometimes dealing with their broken soul. Something has hurt them causing their response to every little mishap to be over-blown. There is a need to look more closely at their ego and diagnose the root of the problem. Reactions tell volumes about one's soul. Another great message from the EGO series.
EGO - Ego That Controls
April 25, 2013 20:39 - 25 minutes - 23.7 MBThose that are controlling are those that have broken souls. They might be broken and shaped by a past experience. Controllers squeeze the life out of those around them. God wants for us to rely on Him only in life and stop trying to control all things and all people. Are you a control freak?
EGO - Ego High
April 18, 2013 22:02 - 25 minutes - 23.4 MBWhen we are infected with pride, we will believe that some things are true when they really aren't. If we have a false sense of self, we can think we never need help from people, from the church and even from God. We must walk humbly and in truth with the Lord. This message is the second installment in the series EGO.
EGO - Ego Low
April 12, 2013 13:51 - 31 minutes - 29.1 MBWe would never treat people the way we sometimes treat ourselves. When we are so unloving with ourselves, we lower our self-esteem and cause problems with how we live our lives and interact with others. We need to see ourselvers the way God does. We are loved and believed in to the point that we are deemed part of a royal priesthood. The first of a series of messages regarding the ego.
The Bible 5
April 11, 2013 17:11 - 21 minutes - 19.5 MBThe story of Easter and your story. What is your story? Are you looking for victory over a struggle? Are you about to throw in the towel? Jesus' story is one of never giving up and claiming victory in the end. Do you need resurrection from something?
The Bible 4
April 11, 2013 16:16 - 25 minutes - 23.8 MBFrom Religion to Relationship. When Jesus entered Jerusalem, conflict started building behind the scenes. We learn that Jesus' mission was all about relationship not religion. This message helps us understand what a life of relationship with Jesus looks like.
The Bible 3
March 26, 2013 20:02 - 25 minutes - 23.7 MBA Clear-Cut Resolve. Many times we flirt with the edge regarding our sin-nature. When we look at Daniel, we find a man who was determined to be faithful to God no matter what. He constantly steered away from darkness and stayed pure in the midst of adversity and temptation. Sin can easily creep into our lives little by little. We must stay true in our walk.
The Bible 2
March 26, 2013 19:44 - 25 minutes - 23.4 MBGod's Surprising Ways - God's journey for you into His promised land (future) is not a straight line. We must endure the valleys before we get there. In our following of Him, it's much like the Israelites many years ago. He is more concerned about who we are becoming along the journey as He is our getting to the endpoint.
The Bible 1
March 08, 2013 15:50 - 26 minutes - 23.9 MBFirst of the series, this message centers around the story of Abraham and Isaac - a story of extremem faith and devotion. As we look at the altar that they approached, we realize the power of what happened at the cross two thousand years later.
COMMITMENT - To the Church
February 22, 2013 17:45 - 29 minutes - 26.7 MBJesus called everyone to missions. You don't have to be an ordained minister to fulfill this. Everyday He gives us simple opportunities to carry out His mission.
COMMITMENT - To Family
February 14, 2013 23:19 - 24 minutes - 22.8 MBCommitment can be about endurance, sacrifice and dedicaiton. When one is committed to a family, they will stay the course even when it's tough. They will stay the course no matter what. In a time and a culture that has less and less commitment, God is calling us to be the examples of His plan.
COMMITMENT - To God
February 13, 2013 20:29 - 22 minutes - 20.5 MBCommitment to God takes sacrifice. It takes selflessness. Sometimes it is challenged by pain, suffering and disappointment. How committed are you to God?
Nehemiah, The Myers Family & A Mission for God
January 31, 2013 21:25 - 29 minutes - 26.9 MBGod could be calling you to a field of mission. And, just like Nehemiah encountered, with change there's opposition or obstacles you will encounter. How willing are you to follow His leadership in your life?
VISION 2013 - Surprising Generosity
January 25, 2013 16:13 - 27 minutes - 25.6 MBThere's a metaphor in the Bible regarding a banquet table in God's house. All are invited to this special gathering, not just a few "elect". The metaphor should show us how we must look at those around us without discrimination. We should show the love of Christ and bare witness to the good news to all regardless of class.
VISION 2013 - Influence
January 18, 2013 18:36 - 25 minutes - 22.9 MBInfluence can be powerful. The Word of God says that if we confess to one another, we can be healed. We should seek community with others for this to happen.
VISION 2013 - Go
January 12, 2013 21:03 - 29 minutes - 27.1 MBChrist has a claim on our lives. This life is much more than just believing in Him. He has a plan and purpose for each of us. What is it that He is calling you to do starting this year? Maybe it is to start with serving in small ways. Maybe it is something that requires you to make a bold change in your life. Regardless, He is calling all of us for something.
VISION 2013 - Lessons From God's Timeout Chair
January 04, 2013 16:59 - 29 minutes - 26.8 MBSometimes God needs to put us in "timeout". All throughout the Bible, there are stories of exile - a sort of "timeout" experience. This does not mean that God is abandoning us. We may need to learn something from a poor decision that we've made or it may be a wakeup call to draw close to Him.
Christmas 2012 - BETHLEHEM
January 03, 2013 22:54 - 29 minutes - 27.3 MBMany times we adapt and adopt traditions over time. Sometimes these traditions replace the truth of the story. Jesus was born in Bethlehem, but the story of what took place there has been skewed over time. We need to know what truly happened. Christmas can mean so much more to all of us this time of year as we celebrate a special baby's birth.
Christmas 2012 - STINKIN' SHEPHERDS!
December 19, 2012 23:06 - 16 minutes - 14.8 MBThe news of Christmas first came to the most unlikely of them all - shepherds. This is how God works. He is interested in the lowest of our societal ladder. The message of this should open our eyes to sharing the gospel (good news) to anyone, even the outcasts.
Christmas 2012 - NAZARETH
December 19, 2012 23:02 - 26 minutes - 23.8 MBSometimes great blessings and miracles come from the most unexpected places. Learn more about the place where Jesus spent most of his life waiting to become the fulfillment of redemption. Learn how important it is to humble ourselves and wait on God.
Live By Faith
November 14, 2012 18:00 - 21 minutes - 20.1 MBDo you have the kind of faith that when things are bad and outcomes look shaky, you are secure in God? Faith is only faith when it is tested and stands up in the test. How strong is your faith today?
Beyond Politics 2
November 14, 2012 17:27 - 19 minutes - 18.3 MBThere's so much more to life than politics. During this season when we point fingers about who or what's to blame for our financial status in America, we must pause and think about ourselves. How responsible are we with our own money? What have we done with God's blessings in our own lives?
Beyond Politics 1
November 02, 2012 13:35 - 19 minutes - 18.1 MBThere's so much more to life than politics. In this season of elections we must remember that politics are not the means by which we change the world for Christ. It is the way we live that transforms our world not our selection at the polls. First of two installments on BEYOND POLITICS.
30 Day Church Challenge - OUTREACH
October 26, 2012 16:20 - 20 minutes - 18.6 MBOutreach is part of Christ's command for those who love Him. We must be the hands and feet of Jesus to our world. How else will they hear? How else will they know? Our love and service to those around us is critical for the kingdom to be built.
30 Day Church Challenge - GENEROSITY
October 19, 2012 20:56 - 22 minutes - 20.5 MBGod has called us to more than just giving when it's convenient. He has called us to sacrifice for others and, ultimately, for Him. There should be no limitations when it comes to our generosity.
30 Day Church Challenge - GROWTH
October 11, 2012 21:04 - 25 minutes - 23.4 MBAre you willing to grow from your experiences on your path of following Christ? The fool ignores or disregards learning from mistakes or trials in life. Are you growing spiritually?
30 Day Church Challenge - WORSHIP
October 05, 2012 18:42 - 26 minutes - 24 MBIt is entirely possible to have two very different perspectives from two people who are at the same place watching or experiencing the same thing. Based on the story of David and Michel, this message delves into the real reason for worship and how we can be ill-prepared for meeting God. So many times our view is skewed by attitude or negative circumstances. How close are you to God? Regardless of how you worship, do you ready yourself to meet Him?
WHY JESUS?
September 21, 2012 15:22 - 24 minutes - 22.6 MBTo pose the question WHY JESUS truly begs for an answer. The answer is rooted in the mission that Jesus completed - redemption. A powerful message about forgiveness and salvation.
Difficult People - Manipulators
September 07, 2012 20:21 - 27 minutes - 25.1 MBGod does not approve of people manipulating. This selfish act is contrary to all that God wants for His people. Are there difficult people around you that need your love and care? Are you being a difficult person?
The Faith - Security
August 17, 2012 16:00 - 31 minutes - 28.9 MBWe truly have security in the One who secured our redemption. We only need to trust Him for it and live a life according to this faith. For, there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. The last installment in the series called The Faith - Romans 8.
The Faith - Calling
August 03, 2012 19:53 - 24 minutes - 22.5 MBWhat is your calling? God is more interested in each of us fulfilling a life that is striving for a powerful testimony not a title. So many live for the title and not the testimony. We are all called to live for Him in all that we do which includes loving others and loving God. If we do these things with our moments, having a title will not be our passion.
The Faith - Hope
July 26, 2012 16:22 - 23 minutes - 21.3 MBMany times, we lack hope. We are troubled and even paralyzed by our pasts. Jesus came to make a way for us to gain hope in Him. Forgiveness and release is just a prayer away. There is real HOPE in the cross. This message is based on Romans 8.
The Faith - Debt and Life
July 12, 2012 20:46 - 25 minutes - 23 MBRomans 8:5-13 describes how we are indebted to Christ for all the sacrifice on our behalf. These passages also describe how we have been given a life to live for Him. We should want to live for Christ because of all that He has done for us. It's all about DEBT and LIFE.
The Faith - No Condemnation
June 28, 2012 22:44 - 25 minutes - 23.8 MBHeld back by guilt? Satan is a master at placing guilt on us. We may feel that there's no way to be redeemed. Jesus came not to condemn but to save. Part of a series based on Romans 8.
Honor Your Father and Mother
June 21, 2012 21:33 - 25 minutes - 23.3 MBA father's day message that reminds us of the importance of honoring our parents. That this is really a basic mirroring of honoring God as well. Regardless of our experiences regarding being parented, we must seek to honor God.
Steering Toward Darkness
June 14, 2012 20:47 - 25 minutes - 23.4 MBWe can't just put our Christian life into autopilot, rolling through life without any regard for our sin nature. Many times, we can grow too comfortable with things in our life that need not be there. And, when you're in darkness its hard see the sin and it's destruction. We need to stay close to Christ and pursue holiness. We need to be honest and deal with those secret sins that can eventually destroy our relationship with God and quite possibly destroy us.
With God Series: Christian or Disciple?
June 08, 2012 18:53 - 20 minutes - 18.7 MBBeing a Christian is relative depending on who you talk to. There were only three mentions of it in the Bible - all contemptuous or negative. To merely believe like one is not much in the eyes of God. But, when we go by the title of Disciple, a whole new meaning comes into play. A true follower of Christ is not merely a Christian, but a disciple of Him. Which are you?
With God Series: Spiritual Exercises
May 31, 2012 22:05 - 30 minutes - 27.9 MBIn life, we deal with essentially two types of sin - sins of ommision and sins of commission. In order to be in the presence of God, we must keep in check our sin nature. What are you having trouble with the most? Sins where you don't do what you ought or sins where you do what you shouldn't? We must go through some spiritual exercises in our pursuit of holiness in order to be in the presence of God.
With God Series: Confession
May 24, 2012 19:01 - 27 minutes - 24.8 MBThe only way we can draw close to God and abide with Him is if we confess our sins and truly come clean. Many times, we rationalize our sin and deny what really happened. This drives a wedge between us and God. Largely based on the story of David and Bathsheba.
With God Series: Attitude
May 17, 2012 20:21 - 27 minutes - 25.4 MBAttitude is so critical when it comes to abiding in God daily. When we focus on self, we tend to get disatissified and acquire horrible attitudes. Conversely, when we focus on every little blessing daily, we tend to live a more joyful and satisfied life - a life that lives in the presence of God.
With God Series: A WITH GOD Life
May 01, 2012 18:33 - 26 minutes - 24.2 MBA life of following Christ is more than a decision at the alter. The Christian life is one that requires us to truly abide in Him every day. How much time are you devoting to living in the presence of God? A WITH GOD life is so much more than a single event of surrender and salvation. This message is the first of the series.

The Bridge I
March 27, 2012 19:02 - 21 minutes - 19.3 MB1 of 2 messages in a series laying out the bridge illustration. This first sermon deals with the problem of sin - what it is, why it's there and how it is a part of our human existence. We cannot solve the problem on our own.
INFLUENCE
March 20, 2012 19:55 - 23 minutes - 21.5 MBOur mission is not to pressure people into following Christ. Rather, we are to share our faith of what God has done for us. Our gratefulness for God and our love for others is contagious and can influence so many in our circle of influence.
40 Days in the Word - FRUIT
March 15, 2012 15:18 - 26 minutes - 24.3 MBContext is everything. If you really want to understand the Word of God, you have to find context.

The topic of fruit is used to help us understand why context is everything.
40 Days in the Word - TREASURING the Word
March 06, 2012 19:17 - 26 minutes - 24.1 MBContinuing the series 40 Days in the Word, Senior Pastor Byron delivers this message that is all about placing high value on scripture. When we take in the Word of God, it transforms us in so many ways. We, in turn, live out the Word. Many of us are spritually mal-nourished and need to be nourished to live the life God wants us to live.
40 Days in the Word - APPLICATION - Disputable Matters
February 23, 2012 21:18 - 36 minutes - 33.3 MBAnother message in the series 40 DAYS IN THE WORD. Senior Pastor Byron Beck speaks about applying the Word to our lives - one of the hardest things to do. This message is largely about how Christians should handle disputable matters. We must accept people who think differently about topics of life regardless of our disagreement, we must not judge one another, one's convictions must be that person's convictions - between that person and God and we must be patient / not selfish in ALL thing...
