C7 | Set Free

When someone says you can be free, we usually think of being released from something. Is God's promise more than that?

We live in a fallen world where, unfortunately, sickness exists.

C7 | Saved

April 28, 2013 09:00 - 38.3 MB

Saved, redeemed, justified... you hear a lot of words spoken in church about these topics. Just what does it all mean?

The Battle for Peace

April 21, 2013 09:00 - 35.8 MB

"...God is not the author of confusion, but of peace..." (1 Cor 14:33) and yet there is still confusion and lack of peace in the world. Why?

Strengthening the Faithful

April 14, 2013 09:00 - 46.8 MB

We can find ourselves in trouble, in sin, in terrible circumstances. Regardless of what you did or even what you are doing now, it is God alone who can save you.

Worthy of our Worship

April 07, 2013 09:00 - 45.7 MB

You were created to worship and praise. Are you offering it to God?

Behold Your King

God has a purpose for everything He does and He has an exact purpose for you and me.

Your King is Coming

March 24, 2013 09:00 - 41.6 MB

Many times the things we pray for come to pass in surprising, unexpected ways. Consider what the Jews of Jesus' time were praying for and how those prayers were answered.

The Symbols of Scripture

March 17, 2013 09:00 - 36.2 MB

There are many reasons to read the Word of God, but one of the most important was mentioned by Jesus (Matt 12:43-45). If we don't fill our hearts and minds with God's Word, space is left open for very undesirable things.

The Light of the Lamp

March 10, 2013 09:00 - 46.5 MB

Over the past few weeks we've learned how the Word of God provides life. This week we see that the Word illuminates our way so we don't stumble in the dark places. (Ps 119:105)

Sword of the Spirit

March 03, 2013 09:00 - 38.2 MB

The "sword" (Word of God), is not only powerful and able to protect us, but it is also described as being alive and active. What can the Word of God do?

The Breath of God

February 24, 2013 09:00 - 37.8 MB

It is interesting how the "breath" of God is described in the Bible as being able to give life, understanding, strength and order. How is this power different from the "bread of heaven" and the "living water" that we also receive?

The Water of Life

February 17, 2013 09:00 - 40.5 MB

When Moses and the children of Israel were wandering in the desert, they cried out for water. It was provided from a rock. Jesus talks about building houses on rock so the floods don't wash them away. What is the meaning when the Bible talks about water and rock?

Principal of Honor, Withdraw, Fleeing and Guarding

February 03, 2013 09:00 - 38.9 MB

There are so many things in this world that can trap us and draw us away from God. Paul teaches Timothy to honor God, withdraw -- even flee (literally, run away) from things that could trap him and guard that which has been entrusted to him.

More Than You Can Imagine

January 27, 2013 09:00 - 38.7 MB

The Bible speaks of the Lord doing more than we could even imagine or ask for -- so long as what we ask for would bring glory to Jesus.

You Are a Leader

January 20, 2013 09:00 - 38.7 MB

The Bible says that God has given you unique and special gifts and abilities, but Satan whispers "you're not good enough". Who are you believing?

Elders and Deacons

January 13, 2013 09:00 - 45 MB

In past weeks we've talked about how we learn from the Lord through teaching/preaching, worship and classes. But all the work of the church could not go on if everything relied on one person.

Messy Church / Healthy Church

January 06, 2013 09:00 - 42.7 MB

When we see difficult teaching the Bible, what should we do?

God's Instruction to His Church

December 30, 2012 09:00 - 36.9 MB

Sometimes we can get off track -- focusing on things that stir up dissention rather than building or strengthening people. Paul taught Timothy how to have the church refocus on what was important.

Christmas Eve

December 24, 2012 09:00 - 17.5 MB

Scripture talks about Jesus being the "light". When Jesus came, he brought this light to the world. What is this light?

The Son | The Response

December 23, 2012 09:00 - 33.3 MB

The circumstances surrounding Jesus' birth were amazing!

The Christmas Blessing - Part II

December 16, 2012 09:00 - 34.6 MB

The celebration of Christmas truly is the celebration of the miraculous.

Blessing of Christmas

December 09, 2012 09:00 - 27.2 MB

Last week we learned about God's plan for our lives. This week we learned how purposeful God is in helping us understand this plan.

Principles of Prospering

December 02, 2012 09:00 - 32.9 MB

We all know about blessings, but did you know that your finances can be blessed? Did you know the opposite is true too?

It's All About Stress

November 25, 2012 09:00 - 38.5 MB

Holidays can be stressful, in fact, life in general can be stressful. How can we manage?

The Heart of Thanksgiving

November 18, 2012 09:00 - 30.6 MB

The Bible says "in everything give thanks..." (1 Thes 5:18a NKJV). Seems like a good idea, right? But it is even more important than that because "... for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." (1 Thes 5:18b NKJV)

Blessing in the Midst of Trials

November 11, 2012 09:00 - 39.6 MB

Why is it that we consider character a good thing, but the thing that develops it (trials) a bad thing?

Excellence of Prayer

November 04, 2012 09:00 - 36 MB

Many times our prayers to God are list of requests. Should we also listen and receive instruction?

The Lord of the Harvest

October 28, 2012 09:00 - 33 MB

Jesus tells us that many are waiting to hear more about who He is. "Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!" John 4:35b (NKJV)

Excellence in Family

October 21, 2012 09:00 - 32.6 MB

While it would be wonderful to live in a perfect family, none of us do. How do we bring "health" back to a family?

Preparing For The Harvest

October 14, 2012 09:00 - 43.4 MB

A building is not a "church" -- it is people who are the church. A building is something that is used to help serve people. Pastor John outlines the plan how this building can be made to serve even better.

The Excellence of Faith

October 07, 2012 09:00 - 38.2 MB

God's promises are eternal. In fact, the Bible tells us that the promises He made to you can outlast you!

Excellence in Worship

September 30, 2012 09:00 - 36.4 MB

Remember, partial obedience is still disobedience. Listen to God and do what he says. It is always, always better.

Ladies Night

September 27, 2012 09:00 - 35.4 MB

Adana Wilson is Associate Pastor, Adult Ministries at Gateway Church's Frisco, Texas campus. God has you in a special position because He has people that only you can reach.

The Truth About Authority

September 23, 2012 09:00 - 32.4 MB

Everyone is under authority, but sometimes we don't like it. Remember though, God is the originator of all authority.

The Truth About You

September 16, 2012 09:00 - 32.1 MB

The Bible says that we have been made in the image of God. Don't ever think of yourself as just "average".

The Standard Is Set

September 09, 2012 09:00 - 38 MB

We can't think "I'm holier than (fill in a name)." We've all missed the mark. God only knows perfection. That is why we all need a savior.

R12

September 02, 2012 09:00 - 31.7 MB

Have you ever known or worked with someone where it was "all about them?" Its hard to work with that person, isn't it? The Bible (Romans Chapter 12) speaks about living the opposite kind of life, the "sacrificial life" and why that is so much better.

GraceUrgency

August 26, 2012 09:00 - 32.1 MB

The Lord, through His Spirit has both commanded and empowered His followers to share His Good News. The simple truth is, though, we have no idea how long we have to do that. Do you have a sense of urgency?
