Mighty God
Isaiah 9:6 | When life gets painful and the days grow dark we need a strong and mighty God to run to, lean on, and trust. His strength is displayed in our weakness. Who can we lend our strength to this Christmas season?
Serve an Imperfect Church
1 Corinthians 12:12-26 | No church is perfect because there are not perfect people in the world. That shouldn’t stop us from serving within the church. None of us can do everything, but all of us can do something.
Get an Imperfect Job
Proverbs 16:3, Colossians 3:23 | What you do is simply that, it’s what you do. It is not who you are. Working is a good thing but it’s not an ultimate thing. Our ultimate purpose is to honor and glorify God with who we are and what we do. This means our job doesn’t have to provide us with fulfillment, satisfaction, or joy because God is the source of those good things in life.
Stay Connected
1 Peter 3:8, 4:7-10 | When the world moves towards chaos we can choose to move toward order. When everyone and everything is dividing and isolating we can choose to remain united. This means we have to choose harmony and listen well to each other.
Conquering Addiction
Galatians 5:13-26, 2 Corinthians 10:3-5) | No one ever plans to be an addict. It happens incrementally as we indulge in unhealthy behaviors and repeatedly make bad choices. “I can handle it” is the lie we perpetually choose to believe. Eventually, we realize that we can’t handle it. Such is the roller coaster ride of addiction. This message will suggest ways to overcome rather than submit to unhealthy behaviors.
Surviving Divorce
Mark 10:2-9 | Few words elicit more emotion than the word "divorce." We all evaluate it differently, but when we experience it, there are no words. In this message, we will learn how to help everyone involved in the emotional tug of war get to a place of healing.
The Kitchen — Your Body Deserves Better
Romans 12:1 | In many ways, convenience has replaced common sense when it comes to our eating habits and our physical bodies pay the price. Instead of neglecting physical health, we should do everything we can to respect and strengthen what God has blessed us with.
The Laundry Room — The Church Is Messy
Acts 9:1-31 | The laundry room is where we turn dirty clothes into clean clothes. The same is true in the church. It’s a safe family where we don’t hide our hurts, habits, and hang-ups, rather we surrender them to the transformational power of Jesus.
Stronger
2 Timothy 2:1-6 | If you want to get stronger you only need one thing. Resistance. In Paul’s second letter to Timothy, he continues to challenge him to get stronger by giving him three vivid pictures. Soldier. Athlete. Farmer. All three know a lot about facing resistance. Soldiers fight. Athletes compete. Farmers work. If we want to become stronger followers of Jesus we have to embrace the resistance we face on a daily basis as an opportunity to become stronger and more effective.
Overcoming a Bad Decision
Exodus 2:11-22 | In a fit of rage, Moses let his temper get the better of him and he killed an Egyptian soldier. For the next 40 years, Moses had to live in seclusion to avoid being punished for his crime, but God used that season of his life to prepare him for an important task. In this message, we will see how God can take our worst decisions and use them for good purposes.
Jonah’s Anger
Jonah 4 | Ever get angry because God didn’t do what you thought He should do? Unrealistic expectations and unmet needs produce anger in all of us. The root of it all is pride; the need to be in control. In this message we’ll look at how Jonah reacted when people whom he considered to be unworthy were given God’s mercy and grace. In the process we may recognize some things about ourselves that we need to change
Jonah’s Rebellion
Jonah 1 | I’ve heard it said that we can run faster when we lose our way. Ever been there? Me too. Our tendency toward rebellion is part of the fall of humanity and persists to this day more than any of us care to admit. In this message we’ll look at some of the consequences of stubbornness and disobedience that leave us swimming in a sea of regret.
Leading My Actions
Matthew 25:41-46 | A transformed heart leads to a transformed life that results in loving people out of our love for Jesus.
Counterfeit Success
Ecclesiastes 12:13 | Solomon had everything the world uses to measure success and he had more of it than anyone has ever had and referred to it as “chasing after the wind.” We are not in control of life’s outcomes, but we can control our faithful pursuit of following Jesus each day.
The Sentence of God
Matthew 25:31-46 | From classrooms to living rooms to boardrooms, we live in a country that rewards good behavior and punishes bad behavior. In this message, we will see that if we put our faith in Jesus, God will reward us for our good deeds. If we don’t put our faith in Jesus, God will punish us for our bad deeds.
The Self-Sacrificing God
Psalm 22; Matthew 27 | We tend to measure love by a willingness to go the extra mile, sacrifice time, and lay aside personal desires for the good of someone else. God is the most self-sacrificing being in the universe. The ultimate example of that is His willingness to allow His Son to die on the cross for our sin. In this message we’ll talk about the role of self-sacrifice and how no one expresses it better than God.
The All-Knowing God
Psalm 139 | Who’s the wisest person you know? Our answer to that question probably includes education, insight, emotional intelligence, and breadth. God’s knowledge is unlimited and incomprehensible. He learns nothing because He knows everything. The Biblical term is “omniscience.” In this message we’ll look at the limitlessness of God’s knowledge and how understanding that affects our devotion to Him.
Eye On The Sky
Matthew 16:1-4 | Instead of looking to our circumstances for hope and confidence, Jesus challenges us to look at who He is and what He has done. Instead of demanding that He do something for us we can see what He’s already done and live with faith moving into the future.
Calm Before The Storm
Matthew 7:24-29 | A well-prepared life must be constructed on a true foundation. There are a lot of ideas, philosophies, and worldviews available to us, but only one will truly hold up when pain, suffering, and adversity comes our way.
How To Be Hated In 3 Simple Steps
Being a Christ-follower in today’s culture can be a challenge. To put it simply - it may be a quick path to hatred from certain people. But there is hope and a promise from Jesus.
