A FOCUSED LIFE IS POWERFUL…but staying focused can get blurry in a hurry. Life's storms, options, and choices can often find us filling our calendar aimlessly. If you find yourself walking through your daily routines trying to remember the FOCUS, the Purpose, the PRIORITY of it all then I want to invite you to Say it Out Loud, “I Have Lost My Focus.” In Jesus we see a devoted purpose of love and a clear calling and focus for our lives.

Losing empathy guarantees a cold and life of indifference. By admitting this loss to God we will find it in His warming love and redemption through His Son, Jesus.

Perspectives are gonna get turned by Jesus in this section of scripture that is commonly referred to as the Beatitudes or the Blessings. Jesus is going to mention for us four things that we might see and think of as a disadvantage…maybe even a curse. And then He is going to mention four things that we would see as a real advantage in this life…we might even say, REAL BLESSINGS. Jesus is gonna turn our thoughts and our focus on to His blessings as He invites each of us to place our trust and confidence in Him…not in our current situation.

No matter where you go in this world you don't have to look very hard to find trouble. Trouble comes in many forms. We find trouble with our health, trouble with our cars or homes, trouble with our careers, and trouble with our relationships. Today we are going to go with Jesus, His mother Mary, and His disciples to a wedding. And you will learn four lessons of what to do when trouble finds you.

Advent is a word that means coming. And not only are we anticipating the coming of Christmas..the remembrance of Christ's birth…we are also anticipating the ADVENT of Christ's return..or his second coming. Today, as we move into Advent consider Jesus' promise that He will return to us. I want to invite you to "BELIEVE IT…and LIVE AS IF."

On this All Saint's Day we remember those who have died in the faith. Many of us reflect on the fragility of our lives and perhaps the destination we are facing. Is heaven real? Today we consider both the answer and the reason that the answer matters!

We hear it in songs, worldly religious thought, and in modern art: God is angry and dangerous. Many of us live in a constant nagging terror of God's feelings toward us. Martin Luther in 1517 discovered the answer to the question and it is a game changer for us still today!

Is the devil real? 56% of Americans believe it is true. But the real concern about the answer to this question are not those who doubt the devil's existence, it is those who doubt Jesus.

If you do a Google search for images of judgement day, you will discover some dark and troubling images - none of which evoke thoughts of peace and comfort. Even in Christian circles you will discover a lot of fear, anxiety, and angst about what that day will be like. And while we might pray, “Come Lord Jesus,” the truth is that some of us still have some fear about that day. Pastor Gene helps us get to the truth about judgment day, and perhaps even discover how that day might be a little different for us than we might expect.

What makes God angry? When we have questions about God the best place we can turn is to the one who makes Him known: Jesus Christ. Pastor Lee takes a look at this question through the perspective of our Lord from three moments in His ministry!

Philosophers, political pundits, and several segments of culture would have us believe we live in a post-truth world. Some might even say that “truth is dead.” It's true that we are bombarded with 24-hour news cycles filled with “fake news.” Political correctness is making the demand that we throw facts and reality out the window, and instead, let emotions determine truth. All of which leave us hopeless and uncertain, asking the question: “What's the point of it all?” Join Pastor Gene as he takes us into a deep search to answer the question: “What is Truth?” You'll walk away empowered with opportunities to be saturated with the truth, which will make you feel secure in being able to find the answers to life's most critical questions.

What are we waiting for? Some of us are waiting for the world to change while others are waiting for the world to end. What are you waiting for?

Does Jesus still walk on water? And will He do it for me? Jesus walked on water in the storm and in the middle of the night to reach His disciples who were in trouble out In the middle of the lake. Does Jesus still walk on water today? You may be wondering, “Will He do it for me?”

One of the things needed in our world today is compassion for the suffering we see around us. But what is Christ Like Compassion and why is it so needed today? And perhaps even more importantly, have you received it and are you sharing it?

Our world and our lives are full of division. Have you become apathetic to and given up on any possibility of peace? Pastor Chris shares three metaphors that will help you reconsider, trust, and be the peace of Jesus.

In his farewell sermon, Pastor John Cordrey reviews the lessons he has learned over his 12 years at Trinity Klein and from the reading of Ephesians 3:14-21. Pastor John urges Trinity Klein to continue loving others as Christ has loved us and to keep the main thing the main thing.

Why can't I be a Good Christian? Have you ever felt like Christianity was impossible? Have you ever felt like you can't be a GOOD CHRISTIAN? Do you believe you can't measure up to who God wants you to be? Have you given up on trying? You are feeling these things because you have become imprinted on the wrong definition of Christianity and God.

What would it look like to raise up the next generation of church workers? Jesus said, “The harvest is plenty, the workers are few.” The truth of these words resonates today as we look at our world. God is preparing His harvest in the hearts of people but who will go out to reap it? Join us as we discuss what it might mean for you to join us as we raise up the next generation of church workers to go to work reaping the harvest God has prepared.

How do you hear the Holy Spirit speaking to you? While there are moments in our journey where God may be silent with loving purpose. The Bible is clear that the Holy Spirit speaks to all of us. The Bible is also clear that the Holy Spirit is working to move and compel us into doing the Lord's will.

Prayer is an unnatural activity for us. In fact, it's awkward and often uncomfortable. The Good News is the Holy Spirit is alive and active in each of our lives, and often praying in, through and for us (See Romans 8). In today's message we discover three things that prayer demands from us: 1) faith and trust in Jesus as Lord and Savior, 2) Humility and 3) Vulnerability. Key quote from the message: "It is when we are at our weakest and most vulnerable state, that the Holy Spirit is allowed to work most powerfully in our lives."

In Acts 27-28 we see the Apostle Paul experience one traumatic event after another. Yet, in each instance we see him approaching each moment with a confidence that God is not only present, but perhaps even guiding him through this experience to put Paul, and us, right where we need to be for His purposes. Key quote from the message: "We need to consider that sometimes the Holy Spirit is causing a detour in our lives to put us right where He needs us for His purposes."
