This is business. It's nothing personal. That's what a lot of people are told as they're let go, downsized or disappointed in the workforce. And for the past 20 years (or longer) pastors and church leaders have clamored after running church as a business. Looking back, we should ask if that was such a good idea after all. In this message, Max Vanderpool lays out WHY the primary metaphor for church should be that of a family and not a business.

Obedience. It's something we expect from members of the military, kids and dogs. But the funny thing is kids don't always do what they're told (and that goes for dogs, too). Face it, obedience is NOT something we celebrate in America these days. Which is why it's hard for us to understand what it means for God to be King. Jesus, himself, claimed to be a king - and in this message, Max Vanderpool unpacks what that king expects from his subjects...or as he calls them, his disciples.

We do it for the sake of appearances, to impress others, to be accepted or liked and, sometimes, just to fit it. Yeah, all of us have faked it at one time or another. But does faking it have any place in the church? How can you be real without letting everyone know all the nitty-gritty details of your life? In this message, Max Vanderpool shares how to practice authenticity and why Jesus and the early church wanted it.

Ever refused to do something you thought was disgusting? We ALL have. But can we acknowledge that we have a problem in America...thinking of some jobs and tasks as somehow beneath us? In this message, Max Vanderpool explains that, in Jesus' Kingdom, the way UP is DOWN and the way to become great and lead is to make yourself insignificant and serve.

We conclude our Mine series looking at 1 Corinthians 8 as Dhati unpacks our responsibility in giving to the local church.

Dhati speaks on the necessity that we ,as stewards of God possessions, have to live with the end in mind.

Dhati continues in our stewardship series addressing the issue of debt by tracing it to it's source...discontentment.

John O seeks to answer the root question driving prosperity theology, "What obligation does God have to bless those that obey Him?"

John O continues teaching in our stewardship series, using Luke 12 to show the natures and danger of materialism.

In the first message of our Stewardship series, Dhati walks through Matthew 6 to answer the question "Why is money so important to God?"
