January 08, 2023 20:00 - 32 minutes - 22.3 MBPastor Richard Myers - Sunday, January 08, 2023 A lot of people have gotten the impression somewhere along the way that all that is required to follow Jesus is saying a certain prayer, attending the occasional worship service and giving Jesus lip service, but is that really all that there is to following Him?

December 25, 2022 17:00 - 5 minutes - 4.08 MBPastor Richard Myers - Sunday, December 25, 2022 (Christmas Day) At Christmas we receive presents from those we love. To discover what the gift is and how much the person values us, we must unwrap it to see what is inside.

Join us for this brief reflection on the meaning and significance of Christmas.

December 25, 2022 01:00 - 27 minutes - 18.6 MBPastor Richard Myers - Saturday, December 24, 2022 (Christmas Eve) Many of us are familiar with the Christmas story, but do we really know it and the Christ child to whom it points? If Luke's Christmas account is historically true and accurate, there is too much at stake to simply treat it as a sentimental story. In this sermon you will be challenged to probe the claims of the Christmas and ponder its message. Why? Because if Christ is who the angels claimed He was, it changes everything!

God revealed Himself when he came to this earth in His Son, "Jesus", a name that means "the Lord saves". That raises the question: "Saved from what?" Join us as we explore the answer to this question and get a glimpse of just how awesome God is and how blessed we are through Jesus!

November 13, 2022 20:00 - 35 minutes - 24.4 MBPastor Richard Myers - Sunday, November 13, 2022 Conflict in relationships is normal and can be healthy, but if mismanaged, it can magnify our problems rather than minimize them. In today's Scriptures Jesus shows us the proper steps to take when issues arise in our relationships.
RELATIONAL REPAIR - Part 5: "Take a Look at Yourself!" Psalm 139:23-24 & Matthew 7:1-5
November 06, 2022 18:00 - 31 minutes - 21.5 MBPastor Richard Myers - Sunday, November 6, 2022 When we get frustrated or hurt by someone, we are often tempted to react without any thought on our part.

In today's Scripture James explains that it takes a godly, heavenly wisdom that is lived out in practical ways to maintain such unity. Join us as we consider what wisdom is, what it looks like, and how it can positively imp...

September 18, 2022 16:00 - 22 minutes - 15.3 MBWendell Kluttz - Sunday, September 18, 2022 Each of us has a special gift or talent to serve others with.

What can we do in the meantime? In today's message we will examine the unexpected, dramatic turnaround in Saul's life and the roles that other people played in that transformation. We will discover that when we let God do the work in a person's heart that only He can do, He will often invite us to...
The Ongoing Power and Presence of Christ - Part 13: "What It Takes To Witness For Jesus"
August 21, 2022 23:00 - 43 minutes - 30 MBPastor Richard Myers - Sunday, August 21, 2022 (Scripture Reference - Acts 8:4-40) For many of us who are Christians, one of the most challenging things in our walk with Christ is to share our faith and the gospel with others.

Not how many people claim to be your friend on Facebook, at school, at work or in the community, but how many true friends are there for you when the chips are down? With the start of a new school year, we will examine various verses on friendship from the book of Proverbs. Whether we are students or adults, we will discover the importance and impact of choosing our friend...
The Ongoing Power and Presence of Christ - Part 12: "The Scattering Seed" Acts 6:8-8:4
August 07, 2022 20:00 - 37 minutes - 25.9 MBPastor Richard Myers - Sunday, August 7, 2022 Persecution is a word that is sometimes used in Christian circles.

In today's message we will examine how the early church addressed an issue that threatened to disrupt its momentum. In doing so, we will discover that issues provide opportunities for further growth.

In doing so, we will find that how we respond to Jesus determines what we receive from Jesus!
The Ongoing Power and Presence of Christ - Part 9: "Keeping Up Appearances" Acts 4:32-5:11
July 11, 2022 01:00 - 41 minutes - 28.4 MBPastor Richard Myers - Sunday, July 10, 2022 When we were children, many of us played and pretended to be someone that we are not: a cowboy, a princess, a superhero, etc. But even as adults, we are tempted to pretend to be someone that we are not. In such cases, who we really are is masked behind a public persona or online image that does not match reality. Such inconsistency can lead to difficulties in our lives and relationships, especially when it comes to our relationship with God and o...
The Lord's Supper: "A Meal to Bring Us Together" 1 Corinthians 11:17-34
July 03, 2022 20:00 - 36 minutes - 24.9 MBPastor Richard Myers - Sunday, July 3, 2022 Jesus left His followers a meal to celebrate together until His return. Mealtime is meant to draw families closer together, and Christ's meal for the church is no different. When we celebrate Holy Communion, It is a time for us to draw closer to Him and one another as we remember His amazing love and sacrifice for us. In this message on the Lord's Supper, we will explore how to crave communion rather than dine in division.

June 27, 2022 12:00 - 36 minutes - 25 MBPastor Richard Myers - Sunday June 26, 2022 Sooner or later we all face opposition.

In today's message we will examine how Peter and John responded to their opposition and discover how divine perspective and power make all the difference in the world!
The Ongoing Power and Presence of Christ - Part 7: "In The Name of Jesus" Acts 3:1- 4:4
June 13, 2022 00:00 - 32 minutes - 22.2 MBPastor Richard Myers - Sunday June 12, 2022 We’ve all come across someone who appeared to be in need and wondered whether we should help or not. In today’s passage we will see how Peter and John encountered a lame beggar and responded not by simply throwing money at the problem but by meeting an even deeper need in Jesus’ name. This single encounter then led to an opportunity to meet an even deeper need for the crowds that gathered. Come join us as we discover what it means to make a positi...

Who or what are we pursuing in the hope of finding happiness? In today's Scripture we will examine how the early Christians in Acts 2 discovered true, lasting happiness not by looking inside of themselves but by looking outside of themselves!
The Ongoing Power and Presence of Christ - Part 5: "A Change of Mind" Acts 2:14-41

How we answer that question has not only earthly implications but also eternal implications. Peter’s sermon at Pentecost challenges his listeners yesterday and today to change their minds concerning their response to Jesus. Join us as we dig ...

May 01, 2022 18:00 - 32 minutes - 22.4 MBPastor Richard Myers - Sunday, May 01, 2022 Jesus talked extensively about the kingdom of God, but what is it exactly? Some would like to have that answered in a simple, single sentence, but the truth is that the answer is very nuanced. In today's message we will briefly begin to ponder its work in the present, the timing of its perfection in the future, the nature of its growth and impact today, and what it all means for us!
The Ongoing Power and Presence of Christ - Part 1: "The Work Goes On!" Acts 1:1-5
April 24, 2022 18:00 - 31 minutes - 21.5 MBPastor Richard Myers - Sunday, April 24, 2022 We usually think of Easter as a once and done deal, but Luke in the book of Acts makes it clear that the story of the resurrected Christ and His work continues!

Facing Jerusalem - Part 4 "ENTRY" Luke 19:28-44
April 10, 2022 16:00 - 35 minutes - 24.5 MBPastor Richard Myers - Sunday April 10, 2022 As we conclude this Lenten sermon series, we find Jesus entering Jerusalem to much fanfare. Even though He was being hailed as a king, He knew that in a matter of days many of those those cheering for Him would soon be jeering at Him! As we enter Holy Week, we will consider what it means to worship and follow Jesus not only when times are good but also when our hopes and dreams have been shattered!

Such experiences can be frustrating. But have we ever considered that when it comes to Jesus' words, we can understand what He is saying but not really understand what He is saying? In this message we will examine how even Jesus' closest disciples did just that, and in doing so we will consider how to avoid making the same mistake so that we can experie...
