We are FREE in Christ but not to live as we please, rather, to live as He pleases.

We come before our Father, King, and Creator of the Universe and He hears us.
The walls of hostility between us and God, and us and our brother/sister has been broken through Jesus Christ. We have peace with God through Jesus!
We were dead, and only through Christ can we be made alive!
We were dead, and only through Christ can we be made alive!
Many people are searching for an identity and are basing it out of what they do. Rather, our identity fuels what we do, not vice versa.

The Lord has a beautiful picture of what sex is, and what it ought to be, and He gives us that picture in His Word.
What does courtship look like?
Our culture is so programmed to be attracted to the physical, and our couple in our text, it is the character that attracts them to one another.
We are compelled to forgive as Christ forgives us. Senior in HS, Ricky Hartzog, does a great job speaking to this truth.
The Name of the Lord is to be held with great respect, to be revered, and set apart. How are you hallowing His name?
How is your prayer life? More specifically, how do you approach the Father in prayer? We have to walk in adoration of our Father, especially during prayer.
Our natural response to the Savior is to rejoice, worship, and offer Him everything.
Everyone loves to hear good news, and everyone loves to be the first to hear good news! The news of Jesus was delivered to the Shepherds, and they shared it with everyone!
God is always faithful to His promises, and as we begin this season of Advent, and preparing our hearts for the coming King, let's look at the promise God made to us.
We finish out our journey through the book of Ecclesiastes!
Solomon sits down and continues to pour out his wisdom to us.
Solomon sits down, and gently talks with us about practical life lessons we all could learn from!
Solomon would contend that wealth actually has very little to do with what you have, and rather how much you ENJOY what you have.
Solomon contents this week that the actual debate in life is not rich vs. poor but righteous vs. unrighteous.
What do we do when we feel far from God? This is an honest question, and Solomon answers that tonight.
Through the hurts and brokenness of life, we need one another.
What happens when we die? It is the most important question that we should investigate, and the Bible is clear.
Life is a life of seasons and we need to be diligent in seeking opportunities in each season to glorify God in all we do.
When we realize, and understand our mortality it leads to a greater joy in Jesus than we've ever known.
Solomon sets out on an experiment to test the pleasures of this world. His conclusion is shocking.
Solomon sets out to answer the all important question, what is the meaning of life? What is our purpose?
We have allowed worship to become something that it is not: a time to entertain ourselves. Worship isn't about entertainment, it's about glorifying Jesus.
Tonight, we talked about the Word and its power in our lives! The Word is true, living, and active and our very lives!
We are beginning a new series looking at values that were held very highly back in the day that have somehow lost their merit today, and we believe, they're still good values!!
Jess Wilbanks teaches this week and gives us a beautiful picture of who Jesus is, and how Jesus loves.
Prayer is foundational to every other test we have studied. How is your prayer life? We all need to continually seek a more active prayer life!
Are you patient? Are you patient in trials and suffering? James gives us great insight on how we can wait, while hurting, and wait well.
We love our stuff. Tonight, James gives us very clear ways in which our stuff, our riches deceive us, and often times become what we live for in stead of Jesus.
Are you a planner? Often times we plan, and plan, and we totally neglect the truth that nothing happens outside of the sovereignty and control of God!
Wisdom goes beyond simple intelligence. It has more to do with our conduct and character. James gives us examples of earthly wisdom, and its results as well as wisdom from above and it's results.
The test of words. Do words really matter or are they just words? The truth is they matter, and they matter a lot for several reasons and James points those reasons out to us!
Faith without works is dead. It is a key element of our faith that it must be active. If the Gospel has changed you, your life will reflect the Gospel.
Perspective is everything. How we view, and see the way God relates to creation determines our view of God, and our worldview. This is the Test of Perspective.
How do we approach the Word of God?
Whether we have much, or whether we have little, we are to boast in Jesus. We boast because our earthly condition and pain is not the same as our redeemed condition.
God, in His loving character, desires to give us His wisdom in the midst of trials. However, we must ask, and we must as in faith, without doubting.
We begin our series through James as we walk through verses 1-4 looking at instructions to suffering well. Count it ALL JOY when we face trials of various kinds.
