Matthew 6:5-13 | Prayer is an act of acknowledgement that God is God and we are not. In prayer we humbly and confidently approach our Father trusting that He wants good for us.

Matthew 9:1-7 | Like the teachers of the law we can “entertain evil thoughts in our hearts.” We can’t control what we think but we can control whether we entertain, feed, and nurture our thoughts.

Psalm 127 | There may not be a more overwhelming task than raising children. The key to being a parent is to recognize that our children do not belong to us. We have the high calling of aiming them toward Jesus in a dangerous world.

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.

Genesis 2:18-25; Proverbs 31 | Our culture teaches women that in order to prove their equality with men they must try to outdo men, or often embrace the worst stereotypes of counterfeit masculinity. The Bible paints a very different picture of what being a woman is all about.

Genesis 1:27-31; Genesis 2:15-17 | Our culture teaches men that they can gain their value and worth through their performance on a field, at work, or in the bedroom. The essence of manhood is a God given mandate to provide for and protect.

I Corinthians 15:51-58 | By leaving his tomb empty, Jesus made it possible for all of us to live without fear. In this Easter message, we will see that even when the daily circumstances of life are uncertain, we have peace in our hearts because our future destination has been secured.

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.
