The Holy Spirit is our God Positioning Spirit. He already knows where we are spiritually, and He knows when we have wandered off and have turned away from God. And He knows precisely how to get us back on the right path to God who is already waiting for us.
True preparedness for Jesus' return begins in the heart, shapes how we live each day, and requires letting go of anything that keeps us from fully following Jesus.
True thankfulness begins with awareness, expresses itself through action, and draws us into deeper relationship with Jesus.
Followers of Jesus are called to be agents of forgiveness and to serve faithfully, not because it's easy, but because that's what really matters.
How we use wealth reveals what we believe about eternity - and where we will spend it.
How we steward what we have now shows what we truly treasure - and it shapes our eternity.
Jesus shed his blood and gave his life for our sins so that we wouldn't have to experience spiritual death and eternal separation from God. Jesus is the source of life, not death.
For God, nothing less than total freedom and wholehearted worship will do. Just as He called His people out of slavery in Egypt, He calls us out of our bondage to sin.
From the life of Moses, we learn that God calls in His TIMING and in His WAY, God uses IMPERFECT people for His MISSION, and God EQUIPS those He CALLS.
Do you know that God is always with you and really knows you? Have you ever tried to run or hide from Him? Our guest speaker David Upchurch shares Psalm 139 to reminds us that God really knows us.
In Luke 14, we see Jesus dealing with five different kinds of people and exposing what was false in their hearts. From the hearts of the people in the crowd, we learn to not be divided in our devotion. Following Jesus is costly, but He is worth it.

In Luke 14, we see Jesus dealing with five different kinds of people and exposing what was false in their hearts. From the Pharisee and his guests, we learn to value people over power and humility over the recognition of others.
This message will show us what it means to be a member of God's Church (One Body with Many Parts), why every member is essential, and how we can live out our God-given roles.
Deacons are the servants of the church who lead with their works. They lead alongside the elders as a vital part of the body.
Elders are God's plan for shepherding the church. It's important that we learn what an elder is, what qualifies an elder to serve, and what elders do as they shepherd the church.
Jesus is the Head of the Church. He is the Apostle who plants the church, the Leader who builds the church, and the Senior Pastor and Chief Shepherd who rules the church.
Building a habit of prayer should be a natural byproduct of a growing relationship with Jesus. We can build a habit of prayer by warming up in the word, choosing dependable habits, and learning to pray strategically.
The value of the Lord's Prayer is in using it as a "model" for our own conversations with God: praising Him, asking for His will in our life, requesting what we need, confessing our sins, and receiving forgiveness.

Unless we understand the events of Easter, it's impossible to grasp the heart of Christmas.

In this message, we will look at 4 Biblical Don'ts and 4 Biblical Do's that will help us balance conviction and love.
Our guest speaker Sam Helgerson spoke today about 1 John 5:11-13. This is one of the great “Assurance of Salvation” passages.

We serve a generous God who calls His people to follow His example by leading the way in spreading generosity.
"What does a person look like who has truly met God? He walks with a limp." This message will challenge believers to do a spiritual check-up, assessing how God has changed our lives.
Our past failures do not destroy God's promises.
God always keeps his promises, He knows our needs before we even ask, and He is determined to save sinners.
The beginning of Joseph's life teaches us that God gives us good gifts. We can use these gifts for self-service or sacrificial service to God and others. God will always provide us with a way to escape temptation. The life of Joseph ultimately points us to Jesus.
Sibling rivalry is a theme throughout Genesis. Ishmael persecuted Isaac, Jacob left home so Esau couldn't kill him, Joseph's brothers intended to kill him but decided to sell him as a slave, and Cain murdered his brother Abel. When sin entered the human race, it gave us dysfunctional and fractured families. Only God can put dysfunctional families back together.
Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.
Genesis 1 and 2 act as the reference point; the beginning point for all things. It is the beginning point for God to reveal Himself, His power, His plan, and His purpose for us throughout the rest of the Old and New Testaments.
Every person is responsible for their own spiritual growth.
Psalm 95 is part of a collection of hymns that include Psalms 90-100. This Psalm is an invitation to worship for God's people. The invitation is to sing, shout, kneel, and to be changed from the inside out.
Psalm 92 is a great psalm to begin the day with. Here we're reminded about God's love and faithfulness, the greatness of His works, and the depths of His thoughts. This is a starting point for our worship as we seek to be the people God has called us to be.

Our guest speaker Leland Sawyer asks us if we are doing our part. To help us see what our part is, he breaks down the story about the healing of the paralytic man.

God is our true source of joy, and our hope is ultimately found in Him.
If faith is caught more than taught, then we should first focus on our own personal relationship with Christ.
The data is in, and the average American has fewer and fewer true friends. We've grown increasingly lonelier over time. Have we forgotten about friendship? There are important lessons about friendship that we can learn from recent studies, church history, and most importantly God's Word.
God wants us to be intentional about strengthening our marriages by fighting for them.
Our guest speaker David Upchurch brought to us a message from the Old Testament when Elisha watched Elijah taken up in to heaven and he asked us to ponder this question: "What are you doing to replace yourself?"
In Haggai 1, God's people are asked to consider their ways. They had been building and handling their house while neglecting God's house. Are you doing the same in your Christian walk?
