Reading from Matthew 1:18-2:12. We think we have CHRISTMAS all figured out, but we really don't. The way we celebrate Christmas is filled with COMPETING ideas.

08.20.2017 - Open Our Eyes (Josh Miles)

Jesus is with us on our JOURNEY, even when we cannot see it (Luke 24:13-35). Four reasons we may not see God are 1) God CONCEALS God's self from us. 2) BLIND from unbelief, sin, or things of this world. 3) Personal HINDRANCES, poor experiences, bad information, mental health, etc. and 4) simply UNAWARE.

07.30.2017 - Just Stop It - Stop Making Yourself God (Chip Pendleton)

We are living in an increasingly SELF-ABSORBED society. (Gen 11:1-4). First, they substituted things for God. Second, they wanted to be God themselves, then third, they felt they knew better than God.

07.09.2017 - Just Stop It - Stop Blaming Everyone Else (Chip Pendleton)

All of us will be TEMPTED and fail (Gen 3:1-6). When we fail, we often seek to cover it up instead of admitting it, so we AVOID people (Gen 3:7-10) and we make EXCUSES (Gen 3:11-13).
