POPULARITY
Let’s be honest—we love the idea of being in charge of our own lives. We don’t like being told what to do. We want to believe we’re the boss. The author. The ruler of our own little kingdom. We don’t like limits. We definitely don’t like being told we have a master, that someone or something else controls us. But here’s the truth that no one wants to admit: Self-rule is a facade. It’s an illusion dressed up to look like freedom. You’re not as independent as you think you are. You are not spiritually neutral. You are not spiritually free. We’re all serving something, or someone. The world tells us: “Be true to yourself.” “Follow your heart.” “You do you.” But Scripture says something else entirely. It says your heart isn’t free, it’s bound. It says you’re not the master—you’re the servant. It says every soul has an owner. Every life is shaped by a master. So, the question isn’t, “Am I free?” The question is, “Whose voice am I loyal to?” Who really owns me? And there are only two options. Sin will master you—or Christ will. One pays in death. The other gives life.
This week we are looking at the principles we follow that help us make decisions in our life.

What if God told you to stop? Where does your mind go? What’s the first thing you think He would want you to stop doing? If He’s telling you to stop, it probably means He’s had just about enough. But what if He’s saying, “Stop everything”? “Stop everything and come be with Me. Set aside all the things that need to get done.” He has a word for this: Sabbath. This week, we begin our series on Sabbath, starting with the idea of stop. Together, we will follow God’s example of taking a day for biblical rest. Let’s walk through the practice of Sabbath as a community.

The greatest event in our lives is our salvation, brought to us through a baby born of a virgin. This third week of advent expresses the joy we feel because of the gift of salvation. Luke 1:30-35 "And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favor with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God."

In the midst of a hard world it is easy to hide who we really are while longing for people to find the real you. The good news of Easter is that what Jesus did was to create a safe place where you can step out of hiding and truly be found.

This morning Sam continued in our 5 part series titled "Foundations" with Part 4 - God moves through culture and so will we. This is the audio podcast.
Today's message by Pastor Marc Sharp from the book of Revelation may seem unusual for the Advent season. However, the entire Bible, from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21, is about Christ, not just the Gospels or the New Testament. The Bible is an announcement of God’s determination to save the world through Jesus. In this message, Pastor Marc focuses on one aspect of the Revelation passage: the representation of Christ as both “the Lion of the tribe of Judah” and “a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain”. It captures the essence of who Christ Jesus really is!
