Sun, 04 May 2025 10:00:00 +0000

There are many reasons people might doubt their faith. But doubt isn’t the enemy of faith—it’s often a pathway to a deeper, more meaningful faith. We can examine our beliefs, let go of what’s untrue, and build on what is true.

The Question of Doubt

Sun, 27 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Doubt is not a dead end but a pathway to deeper faith when we keep walking, asking, and trusting Jesus. Doubt doesn’t disqualify you. God doesn’t condemn it He embraces you and He commissions you anyway. Your doubt gives Jesus the opportunity to prove himself to you.

Conceal vs. Confess

Sun, 29 Sep 2024 10:00:00 +0000

A vibrant Christian faith thrives on the habit of confession. By humbly assessing ourselves and acknowledging our need for forgiveness, we open the door to God’s grace. Instead of hiding our mistakes, we’re called to surrender them—whether privately before God or with a trusted friend. Though it may feel uncomfortable at first, regular confession becomes a transformative practice that keeps us humble and prevents sin from taking root in our lives.

Worry vs. Worship

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 10:00:00 +0000

We live in a world that offers us plenty to be worried and worked up about. It is easy to develop habits that keep us from putting God first. Rather than allowing our hearts to be distracted, we can choose a routine of worship. Worship is when we give our time, attention, energy and affection to God. This habit allows us to find peace in His presence and embrace His incredible grace.

Stuff vs. Simplicity

Sun, 15 Sep 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Our habits of accumulation often leave us feeling empty and distracted. True contentment and peace come from simplifying our lives, trusting God’s provision, and seeking His kingdom first.

Signed, Sealed, Delivered

Sun, 14 Jul 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Following the giving of the Ten Commandments and the covenant, God invites His people into a convenant relationship with Himself. But this covenant isn’t signed in ink — it’s sealed in blood. We too look to the blood shed on the cross for our forgiveness.

The Covenant for Broken People

Sun, 07 Jul 2024 10:00:00 +0000

We don’t need to allow doubt to creep into our faith. Old Testament or New, we can stand on the solid ground that is Scripture.

Sun, 30 Jun 2024 10:00:00 +0000

The Ten Commandments are not simply commands or prohibitions against certain activities — but a spring board to live holy and righteous lives, marked by love for God and one another.

God is Not Like Us

Sun, 23 Jun 2024 10:00:00 +0000

God has not changed, but He is willing to consecrate you, wash you, redeem you, sanctify you and place (or impute) Jesus’ own righteousness on you. All of that so that you can approach Him. So that He can be your God and you, can not only be one of His people, but so that you can be one of His children.

Like a Tree | FATHER'S DAY | Pastor Ryan Hurd

Sun, 16 Jun 2024 10:00:00 +0000

A father who is a blessing to his children is one who cultivates a genuine love for God. He pays close attention to the places he goes and the company he keeps. He cherishes the Word of God and hides it in his heart. He will be like a tree planted by streams of water and it will produce deep roots and good fruit.

I Have My Doubts

Sun, 09 Jun 2024 10:00:00 +0000

The strongest faith isn’t a faith that never doubts. The strongest faith is a faith that grows through your doubts. Don’t let doubt be your dead end! Come to Jesus. Faith is a journey—Not a destination.

The Story in the Story

Sun, 02 Jun 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Do you have an issue that has defined you? Something that has hindered you and sapped your life of its strength? Place your faith in the person of Jesus. Focus on Him. There is a price to be paid but it is worth it for healing and wholeness.

One Thing

Sun, 26 May 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Standing at the threshold of heaven, all was lost because of just “one thing”! What could be worth more than treasures in heaven? The same thing so many of us struggle with today… the present. Are you, too, rejecting Christ’s offer of eternal treasure, for the momental pleasures of life?

Seek and Save

Sun, 19 May 2024 10:00:00 +0000

A single conversation with Jesus can change someone’s life — forever. Are you willing to lay down your pride and respond to His invitation?

Blessed Mom | MOTHER'S DAY 2024 | Pastor Ryan Hurd

Sun, 12 May 2024 10:00:00 +0000

The prophet Samuel would go on to accomplish many great things, but the book that bears his name, uses the first 39 verses to give Samuel’s backstory — the story of a faithful mom who sought the Lord. Why? Because, Samuel knew without Hannah’s story... his story would never have existed. Hannah’s life shows us how we too can position ourselves to receive the Lord’s blessings.

To Give

Sun, 05 May 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Join us for a special message from Hydrating Humanity International Director, Pat Selvey.

Communion

Sun, 14 Apr 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Jesus left His followers two ordinances. Ceremonial practices that are unique to our faith. Both baptism and communion were given as a means for publicly professing our faith in the Gospel. In each case, the sign is a visible display pointing to a reality different from and more significant than itself. Through communion, Christ invites us to look back, to look in, and to look forward. As we do, we remember the saving work of Christ on the cross, our daily need for Him, and long for His return.

Baptism

Sun, 07 Apr 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Jesus left His followers two ordinances -- Ceremonial practices that are unique to our faith. Jesus never asked His disciples to remember His birth, but He did instruct them to remember His death and resurrection. Baptism in the Bible expresses an identification with Christ’s death and resurrection—the old self was crucified with Christ and has been risen with Jesus in “newness of life”. It proves to the world exactly WHO you are — a child of the King!

Sun, 31 Mar 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Can I Get a Witness?

Sun, 10 Mar 2024 10:00:00 +0000

If you don’t have a burden for the lost, you can’t have a vision for your church. God’s vision is to reach out to those who don’t know Him and tell them about Him. Wherever God places you, your purpose is clear: to help at least one person take at least one step toward God and others.

Come and see. Go and tell.

Sun, 03 Mar 2024 10:00:00 +0000

A lot of Christians take the freedom they have in Christ as an escape. Paul and Silas showed us that our freedom is an opportunity to lead others into our freedom. Come and see / Go and tell.

Lookout for Each Other

Sun, 25 Feb 2024 10:00:00 +0000

The church and its relationships are not just the pastor’s responsibility. We are in this together. Lets fight together. Lets be sober minded. Let us be alert. Lets break the chains before they get their hooks in us. Let’s destroy the stronghold before the first wall is built. Lets be that church that the gates of Hell cannot keep us out!

The Art of Forgiveness

Sun, 18 Feb 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Forgiveness is not an elective course in Christianity. It is a required course, and the exams are very, very tough. Even so, many of us struggle to forgive. We know God is a forgiving God and don't trust Him to hold the person accountable for their actions. Yet, if we live only according to justice, always seeking to get what is ours, we will put ourselves into prison. But if we live according to forgiveness, sharing with others what God has freely shared with us, then we will enjoy freedom and joy.

Relationship Maintenance

Sun, 11 Feb 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Jesus wants us to maintain our relationships. When our relationships are maintained and we can agree without bitterness to sympathize, our power as a church is exponential. Don’t let Satan scheme us out of our promised power to change our world.

Schemes

Sun, 04 Feb 2024 10:00:00 +0000

The power that raised Jesus from the dead lives in us. We have authority in Jesus name. Because we do Satan has to trick us into uselessness. He has to scheme us into defeat. Do not be afraid. The complete authority is Christ who lives in us.

Outstretched Arms

Sun, 28 Jan 2024 10:00:00 +0000

The way that the world will know the compassion of Christ is by seeing and experiencing the outstretched arms of His followers. It’s about using what I have at hand — money, talent, encouragement, or even just a shoulder to cry on — to meet another person’s need. The more we understand and comprehend the amazing goodness of God’s grace towards us — the more compassionate and grace-filled towards others we become — and that is just what the world is looking for.

Open Hands

Sun, 21 Jan 2024 10:00:00 +0000

A producing faith comes from open lives. Yet, we often have to look at things as upside down. Where the world thinks “closed,” Christ-followers think “open.”

Rolled Up Sleeves

Sun, 14 Jan 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Worn Out Knees

Sun, 07 Jan 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Do your knees show signs of life? If your knees are not worn out, you haven’t surrendered. We should live our lives with our spirit on it’s knees.

Dusty Shoes

Sun, 31 Dec 2023 10:00:00 +0000

As Christ followers, we should exhibit certain signs of life that evidence our commitment to Christ and His Kingdom. Are you willing to get your shoes dusty on the streets of the world in order to make the love of Jesus available to those who do not know Him? If we are going to be like our Savior, the answer can only be “Yes!”

Prince of Peace

Sun, 24 Dec 2023 10:00:00 +0000

We don’t make peace with God. God makes peace with us. You can’t save yourself. This is the heart of Christianity: God, substituting the Son of God, to bear the judgment of God on sinners like us. Peace with God by faith. You can’t earn it. God in Christ at Christmas became man to do it for you.

Everlasting Father

Sun, 17 Dec 2023 10:00:00 +0000

We are God’s children. He is with us and will be with us not to the end, but past the end. Those who have confessed Jesus as their Savior and Lord have become His. He is not just our Father for now, but forever. Praise His wonderful name. Behold Him as your Everlasting Father.

Mighty God

Sun, 10 Dec 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Quite a few names were listed on Jesus's birth announcement. Join us as we dive into the second name -- Mighty God. See you soon!

Wonderful Counselor

Sun, 03 Dec 2023 10:00:00 +0000

This Christmas, we want to take time to BEHOLD Jesus for who He really is -- our Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. What does it mean that Jesus is our Wonderful Counselor? It means through Christ, we serve a God who is able to relate to our weaknesses and guide us out.

Unshakable Kingdom

Sun, 26 Nov 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Regardless of what Christians are going through, they can thank through it. Why? Because they are receiving an unshakable Kingdom. Through Christ, God has brought us near and welcomed us into this place of underserved privilege and grace. So, let us be thankful and boldly approach the throne of grace.

Thanking Through the Grind

Sun, 19 Nov 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Everyday life can become a grind. Often, the pattern of life we have seems like a hamster wheel -- round and round we go. What if it was possible to embrace the grind and experience God's presence as you thank through it? You and the life you live will be used to increase the glory of God almighty!

Worship in the Valley

Sun, 12 Nov 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Gratitude is tough when it feels like you're in the valley. Yet, all throughout the Scriptures, God calls His people to worship — regardless of their present condition, circumstance, or lot in life. It’s time that we take our eyes off of ourselves and what we can get out of worship, and start thanking through it.

Giving Thanks in Everything

Sun, 05 Nov 2023 10:00:00 +0000

We all know that gratitude comes easily when things are going well, but how do we manage to be content during hard or lean times? This four-week series examines the intersection of Scripture and gratitude, showing the importance of being able to thank God regardless of what you are going through.

Play the Provider

Sun, 29 Oct 2023 10:00:00 +0000

As men, we have been given the responsibility to provide for our families. What this looks like in our culture might look different than it did 2000 years ago, but God is still calling men to stand up, be strong, and play the man by providing for their families. How? Come and see...

Play the Protector

Sun, 22 Oct 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Men, you have been given the authority by heaven to be the protector. We cannot delegate our responsibility to the school [state], to the algorithms, or the TV. Just providing for your family is not enough. Protect them spiritually, physically, and emotionally. Train them to be ready for life.

Play the Priest

Sun, 15 Oct 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Jesus is the way the truth and life! This is a life that calls for men and women of faith who are courageous enough to play the man, to fight bravely and prove our strength. We are the Ambassadors of Jesus Christ. We are a priesthood of warrior priest and the war is here. We represent who He is and bring His message of life. Will you play the man?

Play the Prophet

Sun, 08 Oct 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Everyone — it seems — has an idea on how men ought to and ought not to behave, but few have offered much in the way of a path forward. The expectation of our culture is that man needs to give up on masculinity and become less manly to fit into society. The truth is that masculinity is not the problem. Masculinity is actually a part of what God calls men to be for their families and their community. It’s about playing the man by embracing your role as prophet, priest, protector, and provider.

The Friction Within

Friction in our Finances

Sun, 24 Sep 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Friction in our Marriage

Sun, 17 Sep 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Marriages can be one of the first relationships that begin to experience friction when times get hard. The fact is that healthy couples don’t fall in love, they commit into love.

Friction in our Families

Sun, 10 Sep 2023 10:00:00 +0000

During challenging times, individuals within families have a tendency to turn inward and focus on themselves rather than focusing on those around them. However, strong families are committed to having the same mindset as Christ when they face trying times. It is about choosing to be sacrificial rather than selfish, and that choice brings peace.

Nothing Can Steal Our Joy [Part 2]

Sun, 03 Sep 2023 10:00:00 +0000

This is the new reality of the people of Israel. They were saved out of the slavery of Egypt, but God didn’t leave them alone. He started a process to show Himself to His people so they could know Him. That He was trustworthy. That He cared about them. That He would be with them and never leave them. He is teaching them how to be a new nation.

Nothing Can Steal Our Joy [Part 1]

Sun, 27 Aug 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Soundtrack of Redemption

Sun, 20 Aug 2023 10:00:00 +0000

What kind of God do we really need? Without question, the kind of God we need is the kind of God Moses considered worthy of song. The God of Moses is everything that anyone could ever need or even want in a God. And He alone is worthy of our praise. This is the soundtrack of redemption.

Never to be Forgotten

Sun, 13 Aug 2023 10:00:00 +0000

The exodus from Egypt isn't just the story of the Israelites, it's our story, too. The heart of Passover is substitution. What we discover is that the blood of the Lamb -- Jesus -- not only saves us, but also protects us. Through the exodus, God is proving Himself to His people.

Nothing But the Blood

Sun, 06 Aug 2023 10:00:00 +0000

After all the signs, wonders, and plagues, Pharaoh still believed he held ultimate power. With this next strike, there will be no doubt that the God of Israel is the one true God of the universe. Yet, not even the Israelites can escape God's holiness. So, God provides a way of escape. A way that would ultimately culminate in the shed blood of the Lamb who takes away our sin.

10 Strikes and You're Out!

Sun, 30 Jul 2023 10:00:00 +0000

God demolished the gods of Egypt not just for the Israelites. He did it for you! So that you would know who He is. That you would know His name. Yahweh! That He is your great I am.

Ready to Rumble

Sun, 23 Jul 2023 10:00:00 +0000

For a heart set on rebellion, even a miracle can be explained away. Pharaoh's stone cold heart serves as a warning for anyone who has witnessed God's power, but refuses to receive His grace.

Total Recall

Sun, 16 Jul 2023 10:00:00 +0000

The purpose of the exodus was the same purpose that God has for everything He does: to reveal His glory both in salvation and judgment. What Moses and Aaron are going to discover is that God’s servants are not called to be successful, but to be faithful.

Overcoming Discouragement

Sun, 09 Jul 2023 10:00:00 +0000

In the midst of life’s difficulties, it is easy to focus on our troubles and to lose sight of the One who is sovereign over all. Without condemning Moses, God comforts and reassures him. In doing so, He reminds Moses of who He is -- the great I AM. God is doing more with your obedience and He calls you back to Himself in your discouragement so you can know His name.

God of Wonders

Sun, 25 Jun 2023 10:00:00 +0000

By the time God had told Moses to “go … go … go … go,” Moses had run out of excuses. He had asked all the questions he could think to ask and had raised all the objections it was reasonable to raise. In the end, his true motivation was exposed in all its dreadful depravity.

Father's Day 2023

Sun, 18 Jun 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Join us for a special Father's Day celebration with guest speaker, Ken Mungle.

What's in a Name?

Sun, 11 Jun 2023 10:00:00 +0000

When God says, "I AM WHO I AM," He summons us to humble objectivity. He puts an end to the notion that everybody’s view of God is as good as everybody else’s. He is the absolute standard of truth, goodness, and beauty.

Who Am I?

Sun, 04 Jun 2023 10:00:00 +0000

When God appears in a burning bush to call Moses back to Egypt, the first question he asked is, "Who am I?" This is a question we've all wrestled with. The real question though was not who Moses was, but who God was. And that, changes everything.

Learning To Live By Faith

Sun, 28 May 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Moses first attempt to rescue the Israelites ended in failure. But God was planning to save His people, and Moses is still a part of that plan. But first, he will have to go out into the wilderness to learn how to live by faith.

Standing Up for the Kingdom

Sun, 21 May 2023 10:00:00 +0000

It is easier to slowly compromise than it is to stand up. We have to remember, this is God’s battle. It is not yours. We fight for Him. He is our mighty fortress that goes before us.

Brave Like Mom

Sun, 14 May 2023 10:00:00 +0000

If you haven’t found your peace and security in Christ, it will be hard to be brave when life happens. The good news: You don’t have to be brave by yourself. When we surrender our lives to God, we are never alone. He is with us.

The Power of Unity

Sun, 30 Apr 2023 10:00:00 +0000

The final prayer that Jesus prays is not just for the disciples, it is for anyone who would believe in Him. His prayer is for people like you and me. Resurrection hope comes from knowing that in the midst of a divided world, we can trust that the love of Jesus knows no bounds.

Purpose in the Pain

Sun, 23 Apr 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Even when I think it is the end, it may just be the beginning. When Jesus' friend, Lazarus, died it all looked like one big mistake. If Jesus would have been there, Lazarus would still be alive. Standing in front of the tomb where Lazarus was buried, it seemed like all hope was lost. Yet, this tomb was fertile ground for a miracle -- and a foreshadowing of what would happen to Jesus and all who put their hope in Him. Allow yourself to hope -- again -- that God is still working and there is purpose in the pain.

Do You Love Me?

Sun, 16 Apr 2023 10:00:00 +0000

We all know the pain of discouragement that comes from things outside our control, as well as discouragement that comes by our own foolish choices. The story of the resurrection shows that there is no disappointment that the resurrected Jesus cannot overcome.

Easter 2023 | RESURRECTING HOPE

Sun, 09 Apr 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Death is the thing that defeats everyone. It does not, however, defeat Jesus. He overcomes to give the world hope. Easter proves there is nothing that our God cannot do. Choose to embrace the hope that is offered to you in Jesus this Easter.

Good Friday 2023 | Peace With God

Fri, 07 Apr 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Good Friday proves God's grace. God did something for us we couldn’t do for ourselves. He gave us Jesus who we didn’t deserve, to die our death and reconcile us to Himself. Because of the cross, you can have peace. And not just peace for now, but for all eternity.

Reconciled Through Death

Sun, 02 Apr 2023 10:00:00 +0000

The same people shouting “Save us” on Palm Sunday, are the ones shouting “Crucify Him” on Good Friday. They wanted Jesus to save them from their Roman oppression. Jesus knew they needed saving from something much deeper and more sinister. The saving the people needed, wouldn’t come through a sword or military conquest. It came through sacrifice. The Lamb of God, in our place.

Jesus the Incarnation

Sun, 26 Mar 2023 10:00:00 +0000

The early church considered the Incarnation to be one of the most important truths of our faith. Because Jesus is God, He is all-powerful and He cannot be defeated. Because He is man, He can come to our aid as our sympathetic High Priest when we reach the limits of our human weaknesses. The miracle is that this eternal God became man through the incarnation approximately 2,000 years ago. That’s what the Incarnation was: God the Son becoming man.

Back in First

Sun, 19 Mar 2023 10:00:00 +0000

So many of us are holding on to things, refusing to let them die. Yet, until Jesus is first -- at the center -- whatever else we are pursuing must be put to death. The good news for followers of Jesus is that death isn't the end -- it's just the beginning. That's the power of the resurrection.

Christ the Head of the Church

Sun, 12 Mar 2023 10:00:00 +0000

All Things Hold Together

Sun, 05 Mar 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Jesus sustains all things. God did not wind things up at creation and then walk away, but he is intimately involved in all of creation. And here in Colossians, God’s providential care of the universe is revealed as the sustaining power of Jesus, the firstborn over all creation.

Jesus the Creator

Sun, 26 Feb 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Jesus is the creator of the universe; its center and explanation. To live for Jesus, then, is to find out the true object of our being, and to be in accord with all creation.

God That We Can See

Sun, 19 Feb 2023 10:00:00 +0000

In his letter to the Colossians, the Apostle Paul recites a hymn proclaiming the centrality of Christ. Discover how you can keep Jesus at the center by recognizing who He really is.

Protecting Your Investment

Sun, 12 Feb 2023 10:00:00 +0000

When we have found Jesus – truly found Jesus – we will then build a lifetime of protection, not because we are worried about losing it, but rather because we have found something of great value that is worth knowing and building upon.

See You Right

Sun, 05 Feb 2023 10:00:00 +0000

How does God see you when you approach Him? Your answer to that question effects more than you may realize.

The Need for a Savior

Sun, 29 Jan 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Christians spend a great deal of time talking about how Jesus died for our sins. But what is it about my "sins" that caused Jesus to die? And how can another man's death pardon me? What can truly wash away my sin?

Who is Jesus?

Sun, 22 Jan 2023 10:00:00 +0000

The Apostle Paul wrote that resurrection of Jesus is essential to Christian faith. But is it possible to truly believe that a man rose from the dead? One thing we know for sure, those closest to Jesus believed that when He died, the movement died with Him. Then... something happened, and everything changed.

The Word of God

Sun, 15 Jan 2023 10:00:00 +0000

The Word is the Gospel that was proclaimed to you. And that Gospel is that God came down and became a man for us. Sacrificed His life on a cruel cross. Then on the third day, He rose again to give us victory over sin and a relationship with Him. You can trust His Word to be everything you need.

Is God Good?

Sun, 08 Jan 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Every person on this planet who suffers, God suffers with them. God wants you to see His plan for each of us. Not just His plan for this life, but the eternity to come. This is not all there is!

Building Blocks of Biblical Community

Sun, 01 Jan 2023 10:00:00 +0000

While Biblical community has been a bit of a buzzword in today’s church culture, we think that’s a good thing. We need to understand it. We need to embrace it. Most importantly, we need to experience it. Applying these building blocks of biblical community will help you foster deeper, more authentic community--a community that points the world to Jesus.

CHRISTMAS SERVICE | Jesus is the Heart of Christmas

Sun, 25 Dec 2022 10:00:00 +0000

The Christmas season is really only possible to fully embrace when we come to know that the heart of this holiday is found in the incarnation of God. God so loved His creation that He went to great lengths to rescue it by sending His son.

Christmas Eve | The Heart of Christmas is Love

Sat, 24 Dec 2022 10:00:00 +0000

At just the right time, Jesus came into the world. He came to free us from the crushing weight of the law. We could never be good enough to earn salvation, so Jesus lived a perfect life on our behalf. Why? Because of love.

The Heart of Christmas Brings Joy

Sun, 18 Dec 2022 10:00:00 +0000

The circumstances of life have a way of robbing us of joy. Disappointment, frustration, and loss can suck the very life from us; however, Jesus’s birth reminds us that, no matter how hard life is, we can discover a joy that endures.

Find Peace in the Heart of Christmas

Sun, 11 Dec 2022 10:00:00 +0000

The Prince of Peace lives in you! Let Him prove Himself to you as you walk by faith. Because peace isn’t the absence of conflict. It is the presence of Christ!

Hope is at the Heart of Christmas

Sun, 04 Dec 2022 10:00:00 +0000

The birth of Jesus was something promised that actually came to pass. We can trust Jesus is still working today, and that gives us hope. No matter what we are facing in life right now, anything is possible through the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.

Isaiah 9:2-7 // Matthew 1:22-23 // Romans 15:4

What Jesus Wants

Sun, 27 Nov 2022 10:00:00 +0000

How should we express are gratefulness for Jesus, for what he has done on the cross for everyone of us? What would he want us to do? Have life to the full! He paid so that you can be free.

Delighting in God's Word

Sun, 20 Nov 2022 10:00:00 +0000

The Bible we carry around is a miracle. Yet, for many, the Bible has become common, or worse, a chore. When we understand all God has done to preserve His Word for us, our approach to Scripture changes forever.

What Do We Have to be Grateful For?

Sun, 06 Nov 2022 10:00:00 +0000

Three things we are grateful for as the church of Jesus. Heaven. His Word that guides us, corrects us, and shows us the truth. Jesus! God incarnate. God with us. Who substituted Himself on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. These next few weeks we are going to discover more of what it means to be grateful about these things and your response. Your gratefulness in action!

Normal Light

Sun, 30 Oct 2022 10:00:00 +0000

The darkness around us often feels suffocating. Our tendency is to shrink back and avoid confrontation. The problem? When God's people remain silent, everyone loses. Jesus said to let our light shine for the world to see. Are you ready to shine bright? The world is waiting.

Normal Love

Sun, 23 Oct 2022 10:00:00 +0000

Jesus, the Word of God, stood on the mountain and gave this command, "Love your enemies." This is a very difficult thing for us to do. When we are hated and when we are cursed, to actually love is so opposite of the way we feel. He never said it would be easy to become like Him, but this is what He does.

Normal Fruit

Sun, 16 Oct 2022 10:00:00 +0000

Jesus commands that His followers abide and remaining in Him. Apart from Him, He says, we can do nothing. What does it mean to abide in Christ? It means to keep in fellowship with Christ so that His life can work in and through us to produce fruit.

Normal Forgiveness

Sun, 09 Oct 2022 10:00:00 +0000

We’d all like the think that we are people of grace and mercy, but often struggle when it comes to forgiving those who have wronged us. Yet, Jesus says, our willingness to forgive is a good indication whether or not we have truly experience God's forgiveness in our own lives.

Normal Honesty

Sun, 02 Oct 2022 10:00:00 +0000

Honesty, truth and integrity. That is a command of Jesus. It is the normal life of a Christian to live this way. To worship this way. To pray this way. With God, impossible things are made possible. We can do great things because the Holy Spirit is within us. Our prayers avail much when we push aside our doubt and pride and confess our sins so we can worship, live and pray in truth.

Normal Repentance

Sun, 25 Sep 2022 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever had something pierce you to the heart? A sad commercial scary diagnosis will often do the trick. Our immediate response is often, "What should we do?" But how often does our sin truly pierce our hearts? Do we consider what we should with our sin? And what if it's not so much about what we do, but what's already been done?

ON: Mission

Sun, 18 Sep 2022 10:00:00 +0000

As a church, we are grounded in purpose and focused on mission. What's this mission all about? Join us to hear about the unique mission God has called us to and how you can get involved!

ON: Purpose

Sun, 11 Sep 2022 10:00:00 +0000

Our purpose is the reason we exist. It's why we're here. It's long-term, and it's BIG. Purpose becomes the driving force that propels us forward as a church and helps ground us in a deep sense of why. It's time to get grounded in purpose.

God Is Love

Sun, 04 Sep 2022 10:00:00 +0000

Remember who God is. He is Love. He gave Himself for you. He is always near. You never have to be afraid. He has created the universe for you and when you confess Him as your savior and Lord, He promises to come for you. He is so much in love with you.

Come to Me

Sun, 28 Aug 2022 10:00:00 +0000

Do you remember the old song from Sunday school, "Jesus Loves the Little Children?" It's true! He saw things in children that too often we miss. In a world full of so much confusion and uncertainty, our kids are in desperate need of a touch from Jesus. Will you bring them?

Meant for Good

Sun, 21 Aug 2022 10:00:00 +0000

Retrospect can often help us recognize the unfolding of God’s plan and His use of our actions and the actions of others toward His greater design of growing our faith. Throughout what we perceive as missteps, Scripture tells us that God works out His purpose. And the amazing thing about God’s providence is not only that He always works things out according to His plan, but that He does so both for our sake and for His glory.

Vengeance and Forgiveness

Sun, 14 Aug 2022 10:00:00 +0000

Ultimately, the choice between vengeance and mercy is a choice between serving ourselves and serving God. Joseph knew that in taking revenge, he would be acting in his own self-interest. By showing mercy, Joseph submitted his will to God’s interests and the providential unfolding of His plan.

When Guilt Meets Grace

Sun, 07 Aug 2022 10:00:00 +0000

Guilt is such a powerful emotion, many of us struggle to overcome it. Even though God has granted us His forgiveness, the weight of past sins can hinder us from living in the freedom that comes with full recognition of God’s grace.

Positioned With Purpose

Sun, 31 Jul 2022 10:00:00 +0000

When we need encouragement to endure difficult times while trusting in God’s plan, we can find inspiration in the story of Joseph. Joseph illustrates how to endure hardship while maintaining trust and demonstrates how faithful perseverance paves the way for God to work His divine plan through our lives.

Hope Is On The Way

Sun, 24 Jul 2022 10:00:00 +0000

We all experience seasons of bitter disappointment or circumstances that seem to go from bad to worse. During these times we may struggle to detect God's work or presence in our lives. Joseph's response to suffering was to keep moving forward in faith. Hope is on the way.

Leave It Behind

Sun, 17 Jul 2022 10:00:00 +0000

For Joseph, resisting temptation did not bring blessing -- it led to his imprisonment. Yet, God continues to show up in unexpected places and provides for Joseph. God is with Joseph, orchestrating his success so that his masters will entrust him with greater and greater responsibility.

Falling From Favor

Sun, 10 Jul 2022 10:00:00 +0000

We rarely know what happens in the next chapter of our story. Joseph certainly didn’t know—and probably didn’t dare imagine—that his experiences in Egypt could ever be used for good. In such times, our shortsighted vision of the future blinds us from seeing the faithfulness of God.

Live Worthy

Sun, 03 Jul 2022 10:00:00 +0000

The Christian life is not a playground; it's a battleground. We are sons and servants, but we are also soldiers defending the faith of the Gospel. Will you walk worthy of the Gospel?

Power of a Name

Sun, 26 Jun 2022 10:00:00 +0000

Jacob’s life had come full circle. He had finally returned to his father’s home, though now as a changed man. As Jacob observed God’s longstanding faithfulness, he finally accepted the God of his forefathers as his own.

A Failed Father

Sun, 12 Jun 2022 10:00:00 +0000

God is faithful when we are not. There is the evidence of that all over your life. When tragedy comes, look for it. He is your God. He is with you and will never forsake you even in the midst of tragedy.

I. AM. JACOB.

Sun, 05 Jun 2022 10:00:00 +0000

It is difficult to trust God to take care of us when we feel helpless. We struggle to regain control, and sometimes we even fight against God. But God is on our side, and He promises to be with us no matter what we face. He has the control that we wrestle to get, and we only hurt ourselves and slow our spiritual growth when we don’t acknowledge that He is our life, strength, and refuge.

Dueling Deceivers

Sun, 29 May 2022 10:00:00 +0000

Don’t spend your life asking God to feed and clothe you like Jacob. Ask God to reveal His presence with you. So you can know the One who redeems us. You can find His presence in prayer.

Order in the Chaos

Sun, 22 May 2022 10:00:00 +0000

Jacob’s flaws are hard to miss—but we’re often eager to overlook them because we see his faults mirrored in ourselves. We understand why Jacob struggled to believe God was for him—because sometimes we do, too. Despite Jacob’s refusal to recognize God’s hand, God was at work, giving Jacob children and thus keeping the promises He made to Abraham. And through it all, God was preparing Jacob for a time when he would fully recognize His presence.

Middle of NOWHERE

Sun, 15 May 2022 10:00:00 +0000

Unlike Abraham, whose faith carried him to an unknown land, Jacob fled to a faraway place to escape a dangerous situation his own misdeeds had created. When the God of heaven approached him at Bethel—declaring promises of protection, blessing, and prosperity—Jacob was in awe, but he still wasn’t ready to trust Him. It’s one thing to hear about what God can do; it’s another to experience it in our own lives. So the longsuffering God of Abraham and Isaac took Jacob on a long journey of letting go. As everything comfortable and familiar crumbled around him, Jacob would learn that God can indeed be trusted.

So They Might

Sun, 08 May 2022 10:00:00 +0000

Parenting can be daunting -- especially when you consider what is at stake. We have a job to protect our children and teach them how to know Christ, and that they are loved more than they could fathom by a God who will never leave nor forsake them. God needs to be at the center of our parenting. Thankfully, God has equipped us to lead our families well.

The Red Stuff

Sun, 01 May 2022 10:00:00 +0000

The Promise Must Go On

Sun, 24 Apr 2022 10:00:00 +0000

We often think of God as working in extremes. We expect Him to accomplish great things through the lives of exceptional people and to work through miracles and awesome displays of power. Rarely do we see His hand in the ordinary and every day. Could it be that God has already begun working behind the scenes to accomplish something extraordinary through you?

Made Alive | Easter 2022

Sun, 17 Apr 2022 10:00:00 +0000

Jesus followers reengaged with the message of Jesus, not because the message of Jesus or the crucifixion of Jesus. Jesus followers didn't reengage because of something Jesus taught. Jesus followers reengaged because of someone they saw… Jesus. The living Christ. And because of this — they too are made alive.

Good Friday

Fri, 15 Apr 2022 10:00:00 +0000

Tonight we remember with grateful hearts the death of our Savior and the grief of our God. But the story doesn’t end here! We are on a journey through the cross and out the empty tomb.

By His Wounds

Sun, 10 Apr 2022 10:00:00 +0000

The hailed Jesus as king. They cried out, "Save us!" Save us in a way that we can get our pride back. Jesus came and shed His blood for the forgiveness of your sins. You will never know the depths of your Savior until you stop trying to pay the price yourself. Will you come and lay that struggle at His feet?

What is Truth?

Sun, 03 Apr 2022 10:00:00 +0000

So many of us spend a signifiant portion of our lives wondering what on earth we're here for — Jesus had no doubt. His purpose, His mission, the reason He came, was to testify to the truth. Jesus was not proposing to give the disciples a map to heaven or a theological description about Himself — Jesus gave them Himself. Truth has a name.

Turning Back

Sun, 27 Mar 2022 10:00:00 +0000

The enemy wants to condition your reflexes with guilt, but Jesus Christ came to recondition our reflexes with His amazing grace. He’s made the unforgiveable; forgivable.

Battle in the Garden

Sun, 20 Mar 2022 10:00:00 +0000

The battle of submission Jesus won. The battle of prayer the disciples lost. The battle of fear is still being fought. Fought by you and me. Be strong and courageous. It is never too late to be the man or woman that God has called you to be.

A New Covenant

Sun, 13 Mar 2022 10:00:00 +0000

Reclining at the table during His final Passover meal, Jesus uses the meal as an object lesson to institute a brand new covenant. One not dependent on law and legalism, but dependent on the finished work of Christ on the cross. All we do is come, He's done the rest.

Broken & Spilled Out

Sun, 06 Mar 2022 10:00:00 +0000

Heartfelt worship of King Jesus is never merely private. It always spills over onto others, one way or the other. The lavish, heartfelt, sacrificial, grateful display of affection was for Jesus, but everyone was blessed. Will you bend you proud neck and lay all of yourself and pride at His feet? Will you lay your future at His feet and accept the future He has for you?

The Church Eternal

Sun, 27 Feb 2022 10:00:00 +0000

God created humanity to live forever. Unfortunately, we failed. Yet, through the blood of Jesus, humanity's relationship with God has been restored -- and we have been given the right to become children of God. This global Church that Christ is building will last forever and declare God's wisdom and glory.

The Promised Spirit

Sun, 20 Feb 2022 10:00:00 +0000

To most of us the Holy Spirit seems like a mysterious impersonal force. Yet, Jesus says it is better that He goes away and sends us the Counselor — the Holy Spirit. What about the Holy Spirit coming could possibly be better than Jesus Himself staying on earth? By sending His Spirit, God has come to indwell His people and fill them power.

Community

Sun, 13 Feb 2022 10:00:00 +0000

If you are not a part of a caring community of believers then you are missing out on what God has designed you for. If you want to fulfill the purpose of God it will be with a community of believers. Community is what the Church gives to the world.

The Great Compassion

Sun, 06 Feb 2022 10:00:00 +0000

How you respond to the needs of the least of these is a good indicator of your relationship with Jesus Christ, of your love for Him. Whenever we show compassion, Jesus is at work. God is there. He's doing something because compassion is close to His heart.

Mindsets of a Generous Church

Sun, 30 Jan 2022 10:00:00 +0000

The path to true life, is recognizing that all we have is a gift from God and that we are called to be Kingdom investors, focused on others, and faithfully stewarding the resources He has provided for His Kingdom and His glory.

The Bride of Christ

Sun, 23 Jan 2022 10:00:00 +0000

Do we offer worship to God without thought, without care, without true meaning? Do we sing songs without contemplating their ultimate significance? Do we come and engage in the tradition of men rather than the pursuit of the King? Did you know the greatest frustrations of Jesus concerning His people is that we would honor Him with our lips while dishonoring Him with our lives?

Bastion Against Evil

Sun, 16 Jan 2022 10:00:00 +0000

The Church is a bastion against evil. We are the protection against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this darkness, against evil and spiritual forces in the heavens. For our families and love ones, for our nation and the world.

Keys of the Kingdom

Sun, 09 Jan 2022 10:00:00 +0000

A lot has been said about the Church throughout history. Some good, a lot of bad. Yet, Christ declared the not even the gates of hades would prevail against His Church, and then invites us to partner with Him on a rescue mission to transfer people from death to life. Will you join Him?

Perspective

Sun, 02 Jan 2022 10:00:00 +0000

What does a rich man from scripture have anything to do with your New Years resolution? Perspective. Because easier, doesn't always mean better.

Heading North

Sun, 26 Dec 2021 10:00:00 +0000

“Are we willing to embrace the new thing God is doing?” God has called us north. We are done circling here. Are you willing to embrace this journey north? Can you forget the things of old, the comfortable the repetitive? Will you embrace this new thing that God is doing? It'll take faith, it'll take trust. New life and new possibilities are on the journey north. I think we're ready. I think we've been ready!

Christmas Eve - Joy to the World

Fri, 24 Dec 2021 10:00:00 +0000

This Christmas season we want to remind you that you can have peace. That your Savior considers you His joy. He “so loved” the world that He gave His Son. Through Him we have peace — in Him we find joy everlasting.

Good News, Great Joy

Sun, 19 Dec 2021 10:00:00 +0000

A night that started with a multitude of angels glorifying and praising God, ended with a lowly bunch of shepherds proclaiming the same — all because a baby, a Savior, Christ, the Lord — has come. Today, you and I are invited to join in their song.

The Benedictus

Sun, 12 Dec 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Zechariah could have never said another word in his life except for this song, and it would have been some of the best words every spoken. They are full of tender truths and precious promises about Jesus Christ. Jesus, King of salvation brought us knowledge, light and Peace. He is the Day-spring! The light of the world.

The Magnificat

Sun, 05 Dec 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Mary’s expression of soul is beautifully recorded for us, and in these words we can’t help but see ourselves as Mary saw herself—unworthy of God’s mercies. Will you and I resolve today to respond the same way as Mary, with worship and adoration?

Finish the Task

Sun, 28 Nov 2021 10:00:00 +0000

God is less interested in the amount we give than the attitude with which we give. Individually and collectively, our offerings come together to make an impact that can change the world. It's time to finish the task.

Grateful Generosity

Sun, 21 Nov 2021 10:00:00 +0000

This is the Grateful Generosity loop: we are thankful for the generosity of God and people, and that thankfulness inspires our own compassion and generosity. God wants to use the generosity of His Church to extend His love to the world.

The Long Largess

Sun, 14 Nov 2021 10:00:00 +0000

We can’t solve every problem with our time. At the same time God has given you a destiny to live out. You are not here by accident. Your circumstances are not an accident. Who is God calling you to? If we are going to have the greatest month of generosity ever we cannot fear the Long Give. We must embrace it. It is time we get into the mess and give some time.

Biblical Generosity

Sun, 07 Nov 2021 10:00:00 +0000

If we are going to have our “greatest month of generosity ever” we have to quit thinking that generosity is the Christian thing to do. Generosity is the out flow of nobility from a Christian heart. That is our mission to this world, to live out the generosity of our God so that everyone who sees that nobility in you will know the nobility of God!

When Faith Becomes Sight

Sun, 31 Oct 2021 10:00:00 +0000

As Jesus prepares for His earthly departure, He takes a moment to encourage the troubled hearts of His followers. Yet, their fear and uncertainty has gripped them once again, as they are not even sure where He is going. Thus, Jesus extends to them an invitation to look forward to the place He has gone to prepare for them.

The Measure of Faith

Sun, 24 Oct 2021 10:00:00 +0000

In the most important areas of life it is not about how much faith you have but what your faith is in. We need to look in. To see ourselves and see where we stand in the most Godly area of our lives, forgiveness.

If You Can

Sun, 17 Oct 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Jesus can’t bless the part of you that you pretend to be — but given what little you have to offer, He can do immeasurably more than you could ever ask or imagine. God invites us to look up to Jesus and receive the help we desperately need.

Talk is Cheap

Sun, 10 Oct 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Doubt. There are many times in life when we can have doubt. We can doubt our government, our family, our friends, and even ourselves. One of the biggest struggles is when Christians doubt God. Christians sometimes don't know what to do with these feelings of spiritual dissonance and deep intellectual questions. Is doubt the same as not believing in God? Will God stop listening to my prayers? Can I take my questions and doubts before God?
This brand new series examines doubt in the Christian life. The experiences of biblical characters show us that doubt can push believers toward a deeper understanding of faith. God’s desire is that we would walk with Him in our seasons of doubt and uncertainty.

The Pattern of Service

Sun, 03 Oct 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Proclaiming your faith, prayer, restoring, protecting and the ordinances of Christ are in your purview if you are a believer. Our freedoms here in our country are under attack every day. This new generation wants to get rid of free speech. Are you following the way? THIS IS THE WAY Christians. These are the things you are responsible for. Are you ready?

The Pattern of Love

Sun, 26 Sep 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Jesus told His followers that everyone would know they are His disciples, by their love for one another. But what exactly does that look like? Thankful, Jesus led they way and showed us how to love like Him. Will you follow His pattern?

The Next Right Thing

Sun, 19 Sep 2021 10:00:00 +0000

When it comes to following Jesus, many of us are tempted to construct a Jesus that looks like us, rather than truly follow Him. Yet, it is our obedience to Him and His Word that proves we are His disciple. It's time to do the next right thing.

Mission Drift

Sun, 12 Sep 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Jesus is the only way to God, and Christians are followers of the Way. But over thousands of years, Christians have tamed the message of Jesus. It's time we reclaimed the mission.

First Love

Sun, 05 Sep 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Remember the excitement of your first time in love. Thought about them constantly, every thought was connected. Yet, many of us are guilty of losing our first love. It might be time to rediscover how desperate we are for our Father's love.

The King is Holy

Sun, 29 Aug 2021 10:00:00 +0000

God is king. He is authority and He reigns in holiness. He loves justice and his justice is holy, impartial, and perfect. He is merciful and His mercy is perfect and Holy. Nobody gets away with anything. Jesus paid it all! And all to Him we owe.

Engaging the King in Worship

Sun, 22 Aug 2021 10:00:00 +0000

We have gotten loose with worship. Worship is about rejoicing, reverence, and responding in obedience. You cannot truly worship Him until you see Him as King. When He is your King, you are His to command. It is a honor to be commanded by the King. He is not just God, but also your King!

God of Justice

Sun, 15 Aug 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Most scripture talking about Jesus in heaven tells us He is sitting at the right hand of the Father. When Stephen was about to give it all for Jesus, Jesus stood up. I know you feel oppressed. I know you are struggling wondering why the evil seem to prosper. Why the people who have hurt you and your family go unpunished? I want you to know the Jesus is standing up for you!

Receiving God's Help

Sun, 08 Aug 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Fear is an emotion everyone is intimately familiar with. At times, fear has protected us from dangerous situations. Other times, fear has become debilitating and robs us of life. In Psalm 91, the psalmist asserts that when our hearts are set on God, we are equipped with all we need to overcome our fear.

Envy

Sun, 01 Aug 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Envy drives us to unhealthy comparison and competition with others. When we're winning--we become arrogant. When we're losing... we feel discouraged. This baggage has robbed us of our contentment and leads to a never ending pursuit of more. Is it possible that the people who are most content are the most free?

Disappointment

Sun, 25 Jul 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Have you let your disappointment turn into baggage? Have you become bitter? Do you have a critical spirit? Do you have depression based on all your regrets? Maybe your disappointment is in the only one who could have done something. It might be time to tell God you are disappointed. That you need Him to help you trust Him with your disappointment. He will.

Guilt

Sun, 18 Jul 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Guilt naturally causes us to lean in one of two directions. We either, wallow in it by reliving the past or make up excuses and deny try to deny it. Either way, the guilt we carry is weighing us down. Yet, the Apostle Paul reminds us that because Jesus, we can finally cut ties with the baggage of guilt.

Anger

Sun, 11 Jul 2021 10:00:00 +0000

When we feel anger, our emotions tell us it’s 100 percent someone else’s fault. But James, the brother of Jesus, has something different to say. When we take a step back and acknowledge what the problem really is, we can finally cut ties with the anger baggage that has weighed us down for far too long.

Mercy Brings Freedom

Sun, 04 Jul 2021 10:00:00 +0000

God is a God of Mercy and it is our number one weapon against evil. It is also the door to our own freedom. Mercy = "Love in action," the way God plans to restore this world.

Catch the Wind

Sun, 27 Jun 2021 10:00:00 +0000

These are the things we value here at A Fresh Wind. When we ask you to be partners we are asking you to embrace these 4 things into your own life. Wholeness: A contentment based on Christ being sufficient for every area of life. Integrity: Living a life worthy of imitation. Nurturing: Cultivating growth in others. Dynamic faith: Living a faith that inspires others to faith in Christ. This is who I want to be. Come with me…

A Father's Sacrifice

Sun, 20 Jun 2021 10:00:00 +0000

We have all experienced tests of our faith—situations that require us to trust that God will provide. In these times, the question becomes: How do we respond? Do we allow fear and doubt to control us, or do we trust God with an extreme faith?

Hydrating Humanity

Join us for a special message from Hydrating Humanity International Director, Pat Selvey.

Sin Cycle

Sun, 06 Jun 2021 10:00:00 +0000

In times of difficulty or uncertainty, it’s easy to relapse into familiar habits—even if we’re aware that what we’re doing is wrong. When Abraham once again found himself feeling threatened in an unfamiliar land, he fell back into an old sin characterized by fear, doubt, and dishonesty. Yet, even when we fall short in our struggle against sin, God remains at work, faithful to His promises.

Are You Looking Back

Sun, 30 May 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Don’t look back. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of your faith. Are you tired of waiting? The life we hoped for can be one of the hardest to lose. But the life God has for us cannot be fathomed.

Bargaining With God

Sun, 23 May 2021 10:00:00 +0000

When you and I are faced with challenges in our journey of faith, it can become difficult to imagine how even God’s unlimited ability will pull us through. When we experience loss, pain, and disappointment, we may struggle to place our confidence in God’s goodness. Yet, to a 100-year-old couple, God reveals He’s in the miracle working business and proves Himself faithful. God was teaching Abraham and Sarah the lesson He is teaching us today — nothing is too difficult for our God.

Right On Time

Sun, 16 May 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Doubt & Faith

Sun, 09 May 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Abram had doubts. Does that mean he did not have faith? He wanted to know how it would all happen. Did God get frustrated with him? No, God helped him. Don’t be afraid Fresh Wind. God is your shield and your reward will be great.

Power of a Promise

Sun, 02 May 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Faith looks beyond the riches of the world to greater blessings that God has in store. Abram wanted something far more enduring than possessions and wealth — He wanted the fulfillment of God’s promises.

Quality Faith

Sun, 25 Apr 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Stop worrying about the size of your faith and start worrying about the quality of your faith. The quality of your faith comes from consistently activating your faith. Living a faithful, loyal life.

Should I Stay or Should I Go

Sun, 18 Apr 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Even the heroes of our faith sometimes allowed themselves to be moved by circumstance rather than conviction. Yet Abram’s trip to Egypt proves that God’s promise to finish the work He began in us cannot be deterred by our mistakes and shortcomings. God’s faithfulness to us ensures that even when we find ourselves off course—whether because of a decision made in fear or a sin that has overcome us—His grace will guide us back to His will.

Into the Unknown

Sun, 11 Apr 2021 10:00:00 +0000

The introduction of Abram represents a major turning point in the story of Genesis. God’s previous interactions with humanity, from Adam to the Tower of Babel, were marked by discord and conflict. With Abram, God finally found someone who embraced His offer of blessing in exchange for obedience.

Give Up Your Grave

Sun, 04 Apr 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Self-expression has become the religion of America. We’re all trying to make a name for ourselves. And what do we have to show for it and the end of our lives? A gravestone. On that one piece of stone we do our best to tell our story as succinctly as possible. But what if you were asked to give up your grave?

A Nobel King

Fri, 02 Apr 2021 10:00:00 +0000

It's hard to accept a king. So many of our leaders have let us down and proven to be untrustworthy. Strong beginnings often come crashing down as these leaders repeatedly fail. That is until Jesus. Jesus was the ideal of nobility. The one man in whom all qualities of mind, character, morals and truth reached it’s ideal. The perfect man and the one and only, truly noble King.

My God, My King PALM SUNDAY Pastor Tim Holt

Sun, 28 Mar 2021 10:00:00 +0000

That day, after He wept over the city, Jesus entered Jerusalem. He entered it to die. He died for your sins and mine. He died to make you a new person. He died to give you a new heart. He died so you could have your sins wiped away. Jesus is our God and King. Whether you believe it or not. If you deny Him nothing can save you. But if you believe, nothing can keep you from Him.

A Family Divided

Sun, 21 Mar 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Humanity in general is plagued with this idea to make a name for myself. It is why Instagram, Facebook and Twitter are so popular -- Let me make a name for myself. We have to submit to God and His Word to identify the chaos we are to bring into order.

Makings of an Ark

Sun, 14 Mar 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Many of us grew up seeing the cute cartoons of a smiling, jolly Noah waving from the window of the ark with a bunch of cuddly animals surrounding him. Yet, this isn't quite the vibe we get from the Genesis account. Instead, God observes a wicked, sinful, evil world and has decided that now is the time to act. The flood was a holy and righteous God’s judgement on evil and wicked people — people who were created to be His imagers and reflect God in the world. By preserving Noah and his family, God’s promise to redeem mankind would find its fulfillment in Jesus Christ.

Finding Favor With God

Sun, 07 Mar 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Noah was a man who found favor with God, despite living during a time where humanity had completely disregarded God and everything they thought or did was completely evil. In these tumultuous times it’s easy to succumb to the pressure, but Noah found favor with God because lived righteous and blameless, walking faithfully with His God.

A Walk With God

Sun, 28 Feb 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Enoch walked with God and was not there. He believed God, he sought after God, He walked with God, and he was an example. A life worthy of imitation. I don’t know a better example in the Bible. A sinner who placed his faith in God and was given the righteousness of God for it. What does your walk look like?

Sunday Slaughter

Sun, 21 Feb 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Genesis 4 is a horrific account of domestic violence and murder. Yet, we also discover that despite the ravages of sin, its spreading through the generations, its violence, vengeance and murderous rage, the isolation, alienation and anxiety to which it leads, the disorders and ambiguities of life in this broken world, God can still be known.

Naked and Ashamed

Fri, 12 Feb 2021 10:00:00 +0000

After the fall, though humankind was estranged from God and no longer immortal, the plan of God was not extinguished. Genesis 3 tells us why we die, why we need redemption and salvation, and why we cannot save ourselves. It also tells us that God’s plan has only been delayed—not defeated—and that the human story will be both a tragic struggle and a miraculous, providential saga.

At Last

Sun, 07 Feb 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Life in the garden was great. Adam had an abundant supply of everything he would ever need and didn't owe a penny on any of it. Yet, in this place of absolute beauty and freedom, Adam was alone, and for the first time God says something in this brave new world is “not good”.

No Doubt

Sun, 31 Jan 2021 10:00:00 +0000

There is a seed in Genesis that grows through the rest of the narrative of mankind and comes right down to your own story. Chaos into order. You have a purpose, a reason for being in this Brave New World. To be who you were created to be and bring order to the chaos.

Chaos Into Order

Sun, 24 Jan 2021 10:00:00 +0000

The book of Genesis lays the groundwork for everything else we read and experience in Scripture. Through this book we come to understand where we came from, how we got in the fallen state we are in, and the beginnings of God's gracious work on our behalf. In Genesis, God's original purpose for humanity begins to unfold as, over and over again, we encounter a God who bring chaos into order as He creates a brave new world.

Stopping

Sun, 17 Jan 2021 10:00:00 +0000

The habits you have today will shape who you will become tomorrow. What if your bad habits are robbing you of the life you were created for? Stopping bad habits isn’t easy, but with the right starting point, attitude, strategy, and support, you can stop bad habits and replace them with healthy ones. What bad habits do you have now that need to stop? How would your life and legacy change if you determined to become the person God created you to be?

Starting

Sun, 10 Jan 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Who does God want me to be? This is more important than living a healthy lifestyle. More important than your savings. More important than your relationships. As we grow in the Lord all these other things are affected in a positive way. I’m not successful when I hit my goal somewhere in the future! I’m successful when I’ve honored God today. When I have been faithful today. Ready to get started?

Who Goals

Sun, 03 Jan 2021 10:00:00 +0000

2021 is finally here and most of us are eager to show 2020 the door. But how do ensure that 2021 is truly different? We all know it starts with some new habits, but you've tried that before. What if we are focused on the wrong things? What if it isn't so much about what we do, then who we are becoming? It's time to set some "who goals."
