Pastor Jim Bunch How's your hearing? This may surprise you but it may be your heart not your ears that needs attention. In Matthew 13 Jesus explains how the condition of the heart is connected to hearing. The Good News - we can improve our hearing by changing the condition of our heart.
Pastor Jim Bunch "And a sword shall pierce your own soul" prophesied Simeon (Luke 2:35 NIV). Disturbing words at the dedication of an infant. Jesus is no ordinary child. His was destined to change the world by giving His life a ransom to save us from our sins. That's the message of Christmas. Not pleasant but true. Thank you Jesus.
Pastor Jim Bunch The announcements of the birth of Christ brought hope to the hearers. Today we bring a message of hope to you - Jesus lives and he loves you.

We have studied overcoming Guilt, Despair, and now the third in this Overcomers Series we will study overcoming Fear. We begin with Joshua 1 and the Lord's command to Joshua, "Be strong and very courageous" as he prepared to invade Palestine. Did he experience fear? How did he overcome it?
To despair is to suffer from a loss of hope. Paul said, "We despaired even of life" (2 Cor. 1:8). Have you ever felt like that? I have good news for you, there is hope in Jesus for you today.

Guilt can serve a good purpose in our lives if it leads to salvation and bad if it lingers beyond confession, repentance, and forgiveness. We can overcome guilt.
Luke 6:45 Jesus declares, "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh." Change your heart, change your life.
Genesis 12:3 – The Lord says in the covenant He makes with Abraham: “I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: may they prosper who love you.” (Psalm 122:6).
"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly." Matthew 11:28-30 Message Translation

Be All You Can Be" was the slogan for the US Army recruiting campaign for years. The emphasis was on what you could become as a soldier in the Army.

Jesus sends a message to the church of Philadelphia in Revelation 3:7-13 encouraging them to 'hold on to what they have' and see things from a heavenly perspective. You and I have been given precious promises of the Holy Spirit's ability to 'open doors' where there are none visible. Hold on brothers and sisters, God is up to something in Oak Ridge!
The Spirit-filled life is a victorious life filled with joy. Paul's letter to the Ephesians is so relevant to our situation here in America right now. For those who are dealing with high levels of anxiety and stress daily, here is some relief - "Be Filled with the Spirit."
