4. IN not OF: Will You Bow Down?
July 24, 2022 10:54 - 38 minutes - 26.6 MBThis weekend we continue our series called "IN not OF". We know as followers of Jesus we are called to live in this world but not to be of it. In John 15:19 Jesus reminds us that we are not of this world because He has called us out of it. As we follow Jesus we learn that we must live differently than everyone else because we belong to Him. This is because we are set apart for a holy purpose. Our lives need to reflect God in order for us to accomplish this holy purpose. We must become ex...

2. IN not OF: Daniel 2
July 10, 2022 07:57 - 39 minutes - 27.5 MBThis weekend we continue in our series out of the Book of Daniel called, IN NOT OF. Christians are the "called out ones" who belong to God. We are to live our lives differently than everyone else around us. When we choose to follow Jesus, we are left in the world but we are told not to love the world or the things of it. We are to make sure that our love is first and foremost for God and our allegiance is to Him alone. Now God has given us this life to enjoy and this world is our playground....
1. IN not OF: Being Bold / Rooted in God's Promises
July 03, 2022 10:53 - 40 minutes - 28 MBThis week we will start a new series entitled "IN not OF" and we are going to look at Being Bold and Rooted in God's Promises. Jesus told us that we would be in the world but not of it. As we take a look at Daniel chapter 1, we will find how clinging to the promises of God in the midst of corrupt culture will lead us to becoming the salt of the earth.

June 26, 2022 07:57 - 46 minutes - 32.7 MBFor the final message in the series, HABITS, we will be looking at the fourth resource that Jesus used to live the life God intended Him to live.

The truth is we have the same resources available to us that Jesus utilized to accomplish His mission. In our current series called HABITS, we are learning the resources Jesus had available...
2. Habits: The Bible
June 12, 2022 09:53 - 26 minutes - 19 MBThis weekend we continue in our series called HABITS by focusing on the second resource Jesus used to do His ministry which was the scriptures. Jesus spent time learning and memorizing the Old Testament scriptures. He used them to interact with the religious leaders and He quoted them when being tempted by the Devil. Jesus used the scripture to teach and instruct. If we are to become the people Jesus wants with the capacity to accomplish the mission Jesus calls us to then we need to make a ...

June 05, 2022 10:54 - 38 minutes - 27.3 MBThis weekend we begin a new series called HABITS.

The mission is to share...

May 15, 2022 07:55 - 32 minutes - 23.8 MBThis week we continue our series called DIVIDED with a focus on the fact that We Need Each Other To Grow - The Bible tells us that we belong to each other, we are commanded to love each other and next we need each other to grow as followers of Jesus.

The word occurs 100 times in the NT and 59 of those are specific commands teach...

May 08, 2022 10:54 - 34 minutes - 24.7 MBThis weekend we celebrate mothers. We all have a mother and so we want to honor her and say thank you for all the sacrifices our mothers have made for us.

1. Divided: Part of Each Other
May 01, 2022 10:56 - 40 minutes - 28.7 MBThis weekend we begin a new series called DIVIDED. We live in a divided world and it seems that we are being pulled further apart all the time. The good news is God has a plan to bring people together in a divided world. His plan is called the Church. Jesus started the church with a group of disciples who were not drawn to each other naturally. The early church became the most diverse group of people in the known world. The reason this could happen was the example of Jesus and the instructio...
5. Forgiveness: The Freedom Found in Forgiveness
April 24, 2022 10:54 - 36 minutes - 25.6 MBThis weekend we conclude our series called FORGIVENESS. We have been focusing on the very important topic that is at the core of our faith. Much of our internal struggle is due to the fact that, as time goes on, we ask God for forgiveness less and we give forgiveness to others less. God offers us free, limitless forgiveness and in return He requires that we forgive each other. As is always the case, God requires behaviors of us for our own good. Forgiveness is like medicine for our souls. Wh...

2. Forgiveness: Forgive Ahead
April 10, 2022 10:54 - 1 hour - 42.9 MBWhen we feel offended it is often because we were unprepared to forgive in the first place. We function out of a mentality that expects everyone around us to be about MY desires and MY good! But we are living in a fallen world, full of sinful people! We are going to get hurt, attacked, offenses will be done against us! So how do we live in a world full of sin and still reflect the heart of Christ? We forgive before the offense ever comes. This week we will see the attitude of Jesus who knew ...
1. Forgiveness: The Struggle To Accept It
April 03, 2022 10:56 - 38 minutes - 26.6 MBThis weekend we begin our Easter Series called FORGIVENESS. The role forgiveness plays in our lives is eternal. In order for a person to access God they must come to the place of admitting their need for the forgiveness of God. What follows is the requirement that we give forgiveness generously to others. This is essential for our spiritual health and as we mature we give forgiveness more quickly and more often. We will begin the series looking at the difficulty we can have at accepting fo...

2. Spiritual Leadership: Church People
March 13, 2022 10:53 - 40 minutes - 28.8 MBThis weekend we continue in our series called SPIRITUAL LEADERSHIP.

4. Judges: Jephthah
February 27, 2022 10:55 - 43 minutes - 32 MBThis weekend we conclude our series in the Book of Judges. We will look at a time when the nation of Israel reached her height of rebellion against God. They worshiped all of the gods of the peoples around them. Pursuing them and worshiping them. God again allows them to be persecuted by these peoples who probably disrespected them more for leaving their own God to worship theirs. God gets so fed up with their idolatry that He says He will not save them but leave them to the gods they so desp...
3. Judges: Gideon
February 20, 2022 10:55 - 40 minutes - 30.1 MBThis weekend we continue in the series called JUDGES. The next Judge will study is Gideon. Gideon was a reluctant leader. Jesus appeared to Gideon and told him that he had been chosen to deliver the people of Israel from the oppressive treatment by the Midianites. Gideon struggled to believe what God said He would do was true. After testing God several times he agreed to trust what God said He would do in delivering the Midianites into Gideon's hands. Like Gideon we can lose our faith in God ...
2. Judges: Deborah
February 13, 2022 10:54 - 51 minutes - 37.6 MBThis weekend we continue in our series called "Judges". In this series we are learning about four of the leaders God raised up during the time after Joshua died and before they had a King.

1. Judges: Ehud
February 06, 2022 10:55 - 47 minutes - 34.9 MBThis weekend we begin a new series called JUDGES. We will be examining four of the Judges found in the book of the Bible with the same name. Israel has entered the land of Cannan under Joshua's leadership. Joshua has now died and there is no one leader to lead Israel. Israel has not obeyed God in driving out all the inhabitants of the Land and so their Pagan influence from those people is still around them. Israel rebels against God and is drawn away from God toward the Idolatry of the pag...

6. Fear Not: Fear of Earthly Powers
December 26, 2021 10:55 - 38 minutes - 28.7 MBToday we will conclude our series called "Fear Not" through a study in Matthew chapter 2. God's plan was under attack and the powers that are at work in our world sought to bring it to an end before it had a chance to begin. Kings from the East, following a star put in the heavens by God, came to worship the King of the Jews. King Herod, having heard this messiah had been born, sought to destroy him. We are tempted to fear earthly powers in our time as well. We need to be reminded that God ...
