Youth Ministry = Team Ministry - Part 8

Every teen deserves to hear the gospel! First we build relationships but then also plan organized time with teens. When we create services and programs to share the gospel and make disciples, it helps to set goals. When we build a team, each person takes resposibiility for a part of the goal. As each person does there part, we can watch our dreams come true!

Youth Ministry = Team Ministry - Part 6

We often want to reach a lot of people with the gospel. To do this, we often begin to put together events or programs to do this. This takes a plan. A vision is the dream we want to see become reality, planning is the roadmap that allows us to walk it out.

Youth Ministry = Team Ministry - Part 4

It's amazing that before Jesus began His public ministry, He put together a team of 12 people to do ministry with Him. Let's be like Jesus, let's build a team and change the world!

Youth Ministry = Team Ministry - Part 3

To build a great ministry, you must build a great team. Great leaders are strong enough to lead other strong leaders with strong personalities. Strong leaders are also able to move out of the way for others to serve in great ways!

Youth Ministry = Team Ministry - Part 2

We can always do more together than we can apart! We must have a vision that requires a team and then build that team over time. Let's make a plan and work the plan to build the team!

Youth Ministry = Team Ministry - Part 1

If we are going to build strong youth ministries, we must build strong teams. There is so much work to be done and so many gifts and talents needed to reach and keep teens. Let's work together, grow together and serve together.

The Sheep - Shepherd Relationship - Part 1

Let's take a look at Psalm 23. The relationship between a shepherd and their sheep goes much deeper than most people realize. Jesus also wants a deep relationship with you!

Uncomfortable - Part 2

Part of changing the world is the need for people to be uncomfortable with the status quo of society. God has called us to impact the culture of our workplace, school, neighborhood and country. It all begins with wanting more of God's will being done right where we live each day!

Uncomfortable - Part 1

Sometimes the enemy of what God wants to do in our life is being comfortable! When we are comfortable, we will just conitnue in life on the same path. If we are to experience all that God has for us, we must become uncomfortable with the status quo!

The Life of Jesus - Part 2

Jesus was a role model to us on how to live victoriously. Jesus overcame sin, death, and much more. Through Him, we can learn to overcome whatever life throws at us. We can do all things through Christ and He came to show us how!

Knowing the Will of God - Part 2

Jesus tells us that He stands at the door and knocks. If we let Him in, He will come in and spend time with us. God will teach us His Will through the Word and His Presence. We are His children and He wants us to live out His best for our lives!

Knowing the Will of God - Part 1

Knowing the will of God is VERY important! God has a perfect plan for you and the enemy does too! We must know God's will for our lives if we want to live it out. Let's dig into God's Word and learn how we can know God's will.

Just Getting Started - Part 2

Don't settle for the little that the world gives you! God has more. Will you go and get it? Will you trust Him? God is infinite and His plan for your life will always be unfolding. God has more - and if you have an attitude of "I'm just getting started" you will continue to grow and experience God more and more!

God is infinite! Now matter how much of God's amazing plan you have experienced, He always has more! If you have been experiencing challenges or failure, this also applies. Keep going and keep growing! Whether you are walking in blessing or trials have the right attitude - you are just getting started!

The Kneeling Warrior - Part 2

Warriors have a mindset that is much different than civilians. They must have this mindset to win battles. When it comes to spiritual warfare, having the mindset of kneeling warrior can be all the difference between living in God's victory or being stuck in your current situation or losing that spiritual battle. Let's let God give us the mindset of a kneeling warrior!

The Kneeling Warrior - Part 1

We are all in a spiritual fight! The question is "are you winning?". Let's look at the importance of prayer and how through prayer we can - focus - fight and win our spiritual battles!

The Call to Radical Christianity - Part 2

The world is seldom changed by one person, but most often the world is changed by many people doing small things over time. Radical Christianity is about being committed to changing the world right where you are each day. It's about being committed to love and serve until things change.

The Call to Radical Christianity - Part 1

Things like loving the unloveable and serving people for no personal gain are seen as radical in our society. In a culture that is focused on self promotion and self gain, Christ is calling us to live a radically different lifestyle than what is promoted to us by the world. It is when we whole heartedly follow Christ and serve people where God's power is released and lives are changed!

As you grow in your prayer life, you will advance in your effectiveness in God's army!

Becoming a Kneeling Warrior - Part 1

We are all in a spiritual fight. Many people choose to be spectators in this battle.

Let's look at our spiritual war and then to how Daniel won so many huge spiritual battles because of his prayer life!

Tithing is a powerful principle that has great benefits both to the giver and the local church. Let's look at some of the benefits of tithing which begin first with a giving heart.

The Heart of a Giver - Part 1

A Church With Vision - Part 2

Nehemiah saw a problem that existed for years! The difference between him and others who did nothing was that he had vision! God will use you to do things that should have been done years ago if others had vision from Him. Will you just see the problem or overcome the problem? Its all a matter of vision.

A Church With Vision - Part 1

Many people and many churches have dreams, but few have vision.  Vision is when you have a picture of a possible future that drives you to order your life to make that picture in your mind come true. We must have both personal and corporate vision as a church!

Soul-Saving Prayers - Part 2

God's word teaches us many things. One of them is that His will is that none shall perishc - 2 Peter 3:9.  Secondly, when we pray anything according to His will - He will do it - 1 John 5:14-15.  We can expect people to come to Jesus when we pray for them to come to Jesus!

Soul-Saving Prayers - Part 1

Jesus #1 reason for coming was to save the lost.  As his followers, our role is to play a part in what Jesus wants to do. There are many ways God wants to use us but in this message, we are focusing on prayers that will lead to people being saved.

The Great Rescue - Part 2

We have been called to walk in the power of God!  We have been anointed, which means the presence and power of God is smeared all over us as we follow Him which empowers us to do what Jesus did! Jesus came to seek and save the lost and we are part of that plan!

The Great Rescue - Part 1

We are not called to be spectators!  There is something within us that desires to make the wrong things right. We know inside that we are called to do something and to make a difference because God had created us to be a part of the great rescue!

Prayer is a Weapon - Part 1

We are in a spiritual battle and as in any war, whoever takes and controls strategic grounds, has the advantage in winning each battle.  Let's talk about how prayer can be applied to every day situations and we can take spiritual ground in all areas of our life!

Prayer is a Weapon - Part 1

Most Christ followers would say that they have some type of prayer life but not all that follow Christ would say that they use prayer as a weapon.  One of the greatest weapons we have in winning our spiritual battle is prayer!  Let's grow in our prayer lives and grow in victory!

Healing the Broken - Part 2

God wants to do a great work in each of our hearts. God not only heals us but lead us from a place of pain to a place of wholeness, from a place of brokeness to the abundant life He created us to live!  Parts of this message are taken from Jack's book:  Wounded Heart: Keys to Overcoming Life's Pain and Disappointments.

There is a huge difference between being a church goer and being a person of faith!  People of faith have learned that God they can trust God and have learned to overcome the many struggles of life!  Let's become greater people of faith.

The Emotionally Healthy Teen - Part 1

In a world that is more emotionally challenging for teens than any other time in the history of the world, how can a teen maintain being emotionally healthy?  Teens face greater temptations and opportunities than ever.  A relationship with Jesus and a life based on God's Word brings stability like nothing else.

People, Pain, Power and Pull - Part 1

Our world is full of people. These people experience so much pain.  The way to overcome life's pain is to experience, God's power.  Let's talk about how God wants His power to work in your life in greater ways!

Learning to Trust God - Part 2

Trusting God is a heart issue.  Many times life has so dissapointed us that in our heads we can't think we can trust God.  God is bigger than how we think or what we have been through.  Let's learn to trust God with our heart and our thinking will catch up when we see Him move on our behalf!

Learning to Trust God - Part 1

Learning to trust God is one of the greatest things we can ever do. The reality is that for most people, they have trusted many people and been disappointed.  Many people then have difficulty trusting God because after being let down by people, they then target their distrust towards God.  Let's not let how man has disappointed us hinder us from trusting God!

The Power of Sowing and Reaping - Part 2

God always keeps His Word!  He says that we will reap what we sow.  Most people always take the negative side of this.  We can rejoice in the good side of this reality.  When we sow good things, we will reap good things.  This is powerful!

The Power of Sowing and Reaping - Part 1

There is power in our words and actions.  Everything we do and say is a seed to our future.  People often look at the negative side of sowing and reaping and express to people they get what they deserve when they do wrong.  Let's look at the other side of the coin. When you sow good things, you will experience and reap good things. We can have confidence in this promise of God!

After the Storm - Part 2

When storms of life hit, they provide a time to re-evaluate the big picture.  Many storms are not caused by God, but when we go through them, God doesn't want us to go back to the way things were before them!

After the Storm - Part 1

Storms of life will come and they create problems and destruction.  The question is not if they will come, but how we will react to them.  This message was spoken a week after Hurricane Sandy and applies to all storms of life!

Through the Storm - Part 2

We will all go through storms.  The reality of whether or not we will stand is the foundation that we stand on.  Let's learn to stand on the rock of Jesus through every storm!
