In this Father's Day message, Seth Conerly talks about a name of God that related to personal intimacy: Abba Father.
What are the parallels between a good shepherd and God? Turns out there are plenty that prove just how much God loves us and how intentionally He shepherds us.
During this week's message, Seth Conerly takes a look at God the healer, and times in the Bible where God healed the sick, hurting, and even the dying. God can heal, but it is for His glory, and we need to understand what that means for our lives.
Pastor Tim takes a look at how we can celebrate the Godly women in our lives in his special Mother's Day message.
As we have seen throughout this series, God has a way of using interruptions for HIs purpose. But oftentimes we miss interruptions because we aren't putting ourselves in spaces to be interrupted. Jesus went to where people were, knowing full well that his day would be filled with interruptions because of it. And that's the position we should put ourselves in, as well.
How we perceive interruptions can go a long way in how we deal with them. Interruptions can be an opportunity for us to live out our faith and showcase how God is working in our lives to the people around us.
Check out our Easter message from Pastor Seth Conerly as he talks about all of the times that Jesus was interrupted during his ministry, and how He uses interruptions in our lives.
What is your first response when you see a homeless person begging for money during your drive? Do you give them money, or do you choose to not respond? There is a lot of biblical context to assisting those in need around us. As Christians, we are called to love, and to reach out. Pastor Seth discusses benevolence and what the Bible has to say about our role in our world.
Why do so many lose passion for living out their faith? Because many of us find ourselves sitting on the bench instead of in the game. Athletes lose their desire for "the game" when they are confined to the sidelines, and our faith can be the same way. So, get back in the game and see how your passion for reaching others flourishes.
What does it look like to be on mission? As Christ-followers we are called to reach unto the nations, spreading God's Word. In this episode, Pastor Seth explains what this looks like and why it is so important.
Join us as we launch Metro Outreach with the mission of connecting people and organizations to expand the love of Jesus throughout the nations.
The word "revival" has been prominent in the United States in recent weeks as we have seen revivals break out on college campuses across the country. But what is a revival? Is what is happening at these revivals biblical? Pastor Seth Conerly explores what the Bible has to say about two words: revival, and awakening.
Intimacy in a relationship is more than just physical. The Bible talks about other forms of intimacy and why we should be making those a priority in our lives, which is what this message discusses.
Pastor Seth discusses romantic relationships and how, if we aren't careful, we can have unrealistic expectations of them. Romantic relationships won't "complete you", but that doesn't mean that they aren't important. And when the foundation for a romantic relationship is in Christ, they are more fulfilling and God-honoring.
Often times we forget that God created sex. It isn't something dirty or bad, nor was it intended to be what the world has made it. When you discover what the Bible has to say about sex, it may surprise you.
As we kick off our "I Heart U" Series, Pastor Seth discusses what the Bible has to say about romance, and what God created it to be.
When we examine our lives based on Biblical truths, many times hard truths are revealed. Even as Christ-followers we won't always get it right, but we don't have to. Christ died for us, for our mistakes and our sin, and when we focus on Him and surrender our sin issues, we can find redemption.
As Christians, we know that we need to leave the judging up to God. But the the Bible goes beyond the simplicity of that statement. What does the Bible say about judgment, and how can we apply that to our daily lives?
We often see interruptions as negative. We do everything we can to avoid them, and wonder why we can't. During the holiday season, interruptions are common and unavoidable. But there are some incredible parallels to Jesus' time on Earth and how many of the miraculous things He did were in the midst of interruptions.
After the unexpectedness of the last few years, it is hard to trust the future. But we don't have to fear the unknown. Curtis Zackery explores Daniel's story and how he trusted God with the future.
Jesus is our living hope. But what does that mean? Pastor Seth walks through the confidence that we can have when we have accepted the gift of salvation, knowing that Jesus is our living hope as Christians.
How do you respond to a situation? Are you proactive in preparing for that hard conversation? Are you glorifying God in how you approach it? Pastor Seth walks through how we can honor God in our responses to situations, both difficult and simplistic.
What does the Bible say about what worship should look like? Pastor Seth Conerly takes us through seven Hebrew words of praise and how they can transform the way we worship corporately.
Pastor Seth Conerly gives a financial update for Metro Community Church, and also discusses what the Bible has to say about giving out of joy, not obligation.
When we celebrate the things God is doing in our lives as well as the lives of those around us, people take notice. Pastor Seth Conerly talks about how this can be an important moment for people who are struggling with their faith.
We can find Godly wisdom by pursuing the Holy Spirit, but too often we are too concerned with chasing a "goosebump" moment. Those moments happen, but even when they don't God is still working. Pastor Seth talks about the dangers of chasing a feeling rather than pursuing Godly wisdom.
When is the last time you have shared your faith with someone? Pastor Derrick talks about how Jesus was the perfect example of sharing faith during his time on Earth, and how we can display our faith in a way that will draw people to Jesus.
Pastor Derrick Nichols takes a look at the parable of the prodigal son from a different perspective and examines how the story illustrates why God is our good, good father.

But all of us would admit that renovation is necessary. How can we renovate our spiritual lives? Pastor Tim Weihrauch gives us four tools for Godly renovation.

Why is community so important, and what should it look like to be in a community within the church? Pastor Seth Conerly explores what community is supposed to be, and how we all can play a role in forming a church community.
What are some signs that you are growing spiritually? Pastor Seth Conerly discusses some tangible ways you can use to gauge your spiritual growth, as well as the importance that scripture puts on genuine spiritual maturity.
Most of us are familiar with the story of Jesus' resurrection, but one often-overlooked piece is how people responded to the news that Jesus has risen from the dead. Pastor Seth Conerly takes a look at some of those reactions and the different ways we can react to the idea that Jesus is alive and Lord.

Have you ever wondered where love comes from? Pastor Paul Westbrook dives into what Godly love looks like and where it comes from, as we explore how to love others the way Jesus loves us.
There is no doubt that God is calling us to do something. All too often, we choose not to listen, fear adversity, or procrastinate. Throughout the Bible, there are men and women who struggle to follow God's calling, but when they step out in courage, they become difference-makers.
All too often we try to do things on our own. The world teaches us to be self-reliant, but the Bible tells us that we should boast in our weaknesses, not our strengths. Pastor Seth Conerly takes a look at how God can use our weaknesses for his glory.
When we look back in 10 years what will we say? Did we give into fear or trust God and step out in faith? What if you could face whatever comes your way fearlessly? Fear, insecurity, a lack of confidence can be debilitating, so how can we conquer them? Senior Pastor Paul Westbrook walks through what living a fearless life can look like.
