Sunday Morning Message - "But God..."In this message from September 7, Pastor Kyle continues our Ephesians series with a message titled, "But God..." Two simple words that change everything. We were dead in our sins, following the world, the devil, and our own desires. BUT GOD, rich in mercy and overflowing with love, made us alive in Christ!Remember...we can't earn salvation - it's a gift of God's grace. Our biggest life change is moving from spiritually dead to alive in Christ. We're more flawed than we dare believe, yet more loved than we ever hoped - "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God." - Ephesians 2:8

It is often good to plan ahead, but we must realize that there are things that are beyond our control, or planning. When things go wrong (not the way we hoped) how do we respond? Our human tendency is to worry/fret. However, when we have a God saturated view of life, we can know that He cares for us, even when He allows trials into our lives. Listen as Pastor Kyle digs into this topic and how we can apply it to our lives.
In this sermon, Don't Be Fooled Again, Paul's heartfelt plea in Galatians 4:8–22 calls believers to guard against trading the freedom found in Christ for the slavery of man-made religion.

Like a spiritual father, Paul warns, weeps, and labors until “Christ is formed” in his hearers.
