Don't Hold Back

Sunday Morning, January 5th, 2020 - Don't Hold Back - Pastor Jared Shumate Today is the first Sunday of a new year. It's a time to look back on the previous one and reflect on the what we did well.

Not just as an individual, but as a family, and as a church!

The Place Where Jesus Came, Pt 3 - A Place of Beginnings

Sunday Morning, December 22nd, 2019 - The Place Where Jesus Came, Pt 3 - A Place of Beginnings - Pastor Jared Shumate Many years before Jesus was born the town of Bethlehem was home to a young shepherd boy who would one day become King; young Davis, watching over his flock, unaware of how his life was about to change.

The Hardest Prayer to Pray

Sunday Evening, December 8th, 2019 - The Hardest Prayer to Pray - Pastor Jared Shumate In the book of Matthew we see the Lord Jesus teaching His Disciples a model prayer. In that prayer He says "thy will be done," suggesting to us that we should also pray for God's Will over our own. But have you ever really thought about what that means? Are you truly willing to give up your own will for His, even if His Will is different from your own? That might be the single hardest prayer to pray...

When Patience Pays Off

Jesus Looked Up

Have you ever paused and just looked up? Maybe you were admiring the night sky, or checking the clouds for potential rain. Maybe you were eyeing a dust bunny in the corner of your ceiling, or maybe just talking to God. There's always a reason for you to raise you eyes and look up. The same holds true for Jesus. The Bible records a handful of times when Jesus also raised His eyes and looked up for various reasons. This morning Pastor Jared showed us a few of these reasons. Do you fall into on...

Ready For Use

Sunday Evening, November 3rd, 2019 - Ready For Use - Pastor Jared Shumate What do a deer, a coyote, and a turkey have in common? Sounds like a silly question doesn't it? But Pastor Jared used these three animals in an illustration during tonight's sermon, Ready For Use. As Jesus and His Disciples came near the city of Jerusalem He sent some men ahead to retrieve a donkey. That donkey was there for one reason, and one reason only. It was ready for Jesus at an appointed time. It was ready to ...

God's Response to Crisis

Sunday Morning, November 3rd, 2019 - God's Response to Crisis - Pastor Jared Shumate When crisis comes your way, how do you respond? There's a fight or flight response when the human body is presented with outside stresses. Are you the type to plant your heels and dig in and take whatever comes your way head on? Or are you more passive or timid about it, worrying and allowing anxiety and fear to overtake you? Maybe you take it one step further and question God, or even blame Him. But have y...

He Will Trade You

Sunday Morning, October 27th, 2019 - He Will Trade You - Pastor Jared Shumate Did you ever trade toys or sports cards as a kid?

But If you've ever traded items you know that you have to give something up in order to receive that which is being offered. Have you ever stopped to think what it was that Jesus ave up when He traded for you? He offered up His comfortable life for this earth. He o...

When Jesus Wept

Sunday morning, October 20th, 2019 - When Jesus Wept - Pastor Jared Shumate Two times in the Bible we see Jesus weeping. In Luke we see him weeping for Jerusalem as He overlooked the city before His crucifixion. But in John we see the shortest verse in all the Bible. John 11:35 says just two words; Jesus wept. There have been a lot of debate over this verse. Religious and Biblical experts theorize over why it was that Jesus wept that day. The Bible doesn't tell us why, but there are a few l...
