The 3rd word Jesus spoke from the cross was in the context of our relationships. The greatest pain and greatest pleasures of your life will be experienced in the context of relationship. On the cross, Jesus gives us the secret to having a loving relationship with God and also with those around us every day.

The words we hear and the words we speak are an undeniable force in our lives. They have the ability to lift us up, carry us through, and empower us to make a lasting difference. But some words carry more weight than others. This sermon titled ‘Tear It Up’ will look at the first phrase Jesus spoke from the cross, “Father Forgive them for they know not what they do.”

In a world full of conflict, debate and chaos, we are in desperate need of PEACEMAKERS. Everyday we have moments to help bring peace in the midst of pain. This Sunday, through the life of a fierce woman named Abigail, we are going to learn how to be a PEACEMAKER.

Are you a clingy person? I guess in one way or another we all are. We all have things we cling to, especially when a crisis hits our life. This new sermon from our FIERCE series will see through the life of Ruth how to find the right things to cling to in our greatest moments of need.

Have you ever been offended? How do you respond when you are disrespected, ignored, or insulted? Many would argue that today we live in the most easily offended culture. So how can I have fierce faith in the face of being offended? Today we saw through the story of an unlikely fierce woman of faith that our greatest miracles can be on the other side of our greatest offense.

In one moment everything can change. One email, one phone call, one conversation can drastically shift the course of your life. Those are the moments you will find out whether or not your faith is fierce. No one knows this better than a Hebrew beauty queen named Esther. This Sunday we are excited to learn how to have FIERCE FAITH just like Esther, for every crisis you may face.

Procrastination is one of the greatest enemies to progress. If you want to see progress in 2020 you are going to have to overcome this giant called procrastination.

There's always a story behind the glory! Pastor Isaac Friedel interviews Jemand Ezeonwuka on his story, and on finding your why.

Everyday we have so many opportunities to grow in our faith. Unfortunately we have a tendency to choose comfort over confronting our fears. Every time you confront your fears your faith grows. Every fear is an opportunity to grow and this week Pastor Isaac will be sharing a message that will help us confront our fears and begin to keep our promises.

God is a God of promises. We see through the entire bible that whatever He spoke got done. God also desires for us to keep our promises. As you are putting together your goals for the year this message will help you follow through on your promises.

When we are connected to God it is like being connected to an endless flowing river. Unfortunately, many times we can lose our connection to that river and before we start a new year and add all these goals we want to see accomplished in our lives, we have to get reconnected to God. This message titled “Get it back” will help guide you to reconnect with God in a life giving way.

We're all searching for something. Join us as we search for the true meaning of Christmas.

Our greatest gift came in the midst of darkness. No matter how dark it gets, because of Christmas you have a light that can lead you.

One of the most popular aspects of Christmas in today’s culture is the FAMILY CHRISTMAS TREE. Over 100 million families in America will wake up on December 25th to a beautifully decorated Christmas tree. But what did the Family Christmas Tree look like during the first Christmas?

Guest speaker Pastor Terry Smith of The Life Christian Church shares the importance and power of welcoming everyone with love, no matter how strange they are to you...or you to them.

We are excited to speak on “The Power of a Vision!” We are so thankful for all God has done for us this past year. All the battles we’ve fought and all the victories God has won. We are thankful, but we are also expecting the God of MORE to do even greater things in our lives and our church. THE BEST IS YET TO COME!

Are You Needy??? Truth is we are all needy! We all have needs that we expect to be fulfilled. When searching to get our needs met, we often have good intentions, however we benefit from more help on how to implement these needs into goals that are achievable.

Each of us have gone through our share of challenges this year. We have been through battles and breakthroughs. But no matter what 2019 has brought you, if you consider YOUR SOURCE you'll have a reason to rejoice! Our spiritual strength comes when we stand in faith with the words Jesus spoke. God is the source for everything we need!

Part 2 of Consider Your Source

Many times we spend much of our energy focusing on where we're going in life and it can be easy to neglect where we came from. However, if we could remember where we've been and all that God has done to get us where we are we could find strength to sustain us on all of life's journeys.

The Father's heart is to always celebrate his children, whether prodigal or older brother.

Have you ever felt that life isn’t fair? Or maybe even felt like God isn’t fair? If we are honest with ourselves we have probably all felt that way at different times. Jesus actually address this is one of His parables found in Matthew 20. Please check out this sermon from Pastor Isaac titled “Gods not Fair” and find out why that is actually great news for us to hear!

The story of the Good Samaritan is one of the most widely used parables Jesus shared. Most of the time we make the story of the Good Samaritan all about us, “we need to be a better, nicer, and more thoughtful person.” But maybe this story isn’t about how we need to love others better. Maybe it is about how Jesus loves and treats us.

We live in a time where it can be so difficult to stay focused because everywhere we look there are distractions. Distractions at home, distractions at work, distractions just trying to drive, distractions are everywhere. So how can we stay focused in a world full of so many distractions? This sermon from Pastor Isaac titled “Attractive but Distractive”, is the perfect message to help you navigate through all the distraction of life.

Going through life whether you are a child being told you are not tall enough to ride a roller coaster or an adult being told you’re not able to go after a dream, WE ALL HIT WALLS! Everyday we are faced with challenges either inherited or self inflicted but they are there and they are big. This sermon from Pastor Isaac will show you through Jesus how to turn stumbling blocks into stepping stones.

Let's not forget what we were called to do and where we find the strength to live our purpose.

One of the greatest gift God has given you, is the gift to serve and love one another. In such a self centered world we can miss the great joy of being a servant. WE GET TO SERVE! At Shore Christian Church we believe that in the Kingdom of God we are not just consumers but we are contributor and with Christ we are all LIFE CHANGERS.

How to love a vampire. Jesus commands us to love one another, but how do you love the people that can drain the life out of you? How do you love all those life sucking vampires in our lives? This final sermon in our “Love like you’ve never been hurt” series will show you through the life of Jesus, how we are able to love the people who have hurt us the most.

One of the greatest temptations comes in the face of our greatest justifications. This is especially true when it comes to FORGIVENESS. We can all be so great at justifying our unforgiveness. This sermon from our “Love Like You’ve Never Been Hurt” series will show you how the great moments of forgiveness can produce the greatest blessings.

If you are a member of the human race you have probably made a stupid decision because of your anger. We all have. Probably all of us can look back in regret because of the things we did in the heat of anger. This sermon in our “Love like you’ve never been hurt” series will help you learn how to STAY COOL IN A HOT SITUATION.

Have you ever wondered, "Are my prayers working?" You are facing a crisis and need a miracle but prayer is not just speaking to God, but listening. Because while we pray God moves. While we pray God is working behind the scene, and the answer may be knocking at the DOOR!

Have you ever felt a leading from God to move in a certain direction, but aren’t 100% sure if it was really God speaking to you? That was exactly what Peter was going through when Jesus called him out of his boat as He was walking on water.

Have you ever been stuck trying to walk in a new calling with an old identity? Where you know the person God has called you to be, but you still feel like the same old you. This is a season many people find themselves in and we see this in the life of Simon Peter.

One of the most intriguing personalities in the bible is a disciple named, Simon Peter. Simon Peter, from the first moment he met Jesus, was “like a rolling stone.” He was up and down, hot and cold. All of us can relate to Simon Peter one way or another because we all can feel like ROLLING STONES.

We all have areas in our lives that are dysfunctional. Rather than addressing the dysfunction, we make excuses for it. This sermon titled, “I got this” will help you understand how to confront the dysfunctions in your life.

Have you ever tried to escape from your CALLING? Many times when we hear the calling of God, we see it as an interruption and not an invitation. Even in those moments the grace of God will always be there to correct, protect, and redirect us back into His will for our lives. This sermon titled, “Falling from your calling” will help you understand, through the life of Jonah how God redirected us back into our calling.

One of the most dibilitating forces many people face on a daily basis is depression. Millions of Americans deal with depression on a daily basis. These battle are not with others, they are the battles within our own minds. This sermon titled "HOT MESS" will look at biblical principles that can help us win the battles within.

Have you put your hope in the way God carries you through difficult seasons, or that God will carry you through difficult seasons? We live in a time when so many people are filled with fear and frustration and anxiety because things didn’t turn out the way they expected.This sermon from our Escape Room Series will help you learn to put your faith in “WHO” is going to carry you through, and it probably won’t happen the way you expected.

Every day people are longing to escape from physical boundaries such as poverty, injustice, handicaps or generational curses. While other are facing mental or emotional barriers that are limiting and restricting them to live a life of freedom. One of the most demoralizing struggles we face is feeling restricted and bound by our current reality. What are you trying to escape from? Even though you feel trapped, our God is faithful and always provides you a way to break free and escape from what ever binds and restricts you. 1 Corinthians 10:13

Guest Pastor Shawn Hyland and his wife Glennys share their testimony. Trust and Obey.

Resisting, Revealing, Releasing

Have you ever been disappointed by God? Has God ever seemed absent in what seems to be your greatest moment of need? Those can be some of the most challenging moments for us and our families. Jesus speaks directly to those who have experienced those moments in John chapter 11. This is the conclusion of our “I am” series with a sermon titled “EVEN NOW”.

Jesus is the ANSWER for the ACHE WITHIN

Jesus said, "I AM the Vine" You were no CUT OFF, You were just CUT BACK. You'll miss the Miraculous if you resist the Mundane. This may take a while....... but the wait will be worth your while!

As Jesus walked the streets He wanted everyone to know who He was and why He came. In John chapter 10 Jesus made one of the most powerful statements when He said, "I am the Good Shepherd." This Sermon will teach us why we need a Shepherd and how that Shepherd is the only one who can properly lead, love, and protect us from the wolves of this world.

Doors are part of our everyday life. They can either be used to shut people out, or invite people in. Doors can hurt you when they are shut in your face, or can bless you when somebody opens a door for you to come inside.

If you haven’t noticed we live in a very dark world. A world full of pain, tragedy, and disappointments at every corner. When you are surrounded by darkness you can feel completely hopeless. But the good news is a LIGHT is about to shine in you and through you. Jesus said in John 8:12 “I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. He who follows me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”

Have your ever noticed that in different seasons of your life God will provide for your needs in different ways? Sometimes it can be very difficult and scary when a certain source of provision stops. But that is when we have to put our faith in the "BREAD OF LIFE." This sermon will give you faith to keep going even when things change, because He is a Bread House!
