We have come to the close of our quick study of the book of James. We will see in the passage today that James gives us some keys to a successful prayer life. The main one is to be honest with God about what we are going through.

As we continue our series in James, we come to chapter 5 and verses 7-11. In these verses we learn about patience. Patience is the serenity in the face of adversity. When we display patience, we reflect God's character. James also lays out 4 examples of how we should be patient.

Did you know that going outside for just 20 minutes a day can have great positive effects in your brain and even helps with your moods? It does. Imagine if we could do more every single day, what kind of an impact that could be on our souls. In our study of James, he is going to tell us to get outside, but not the outdoors, but outside of ourselves. Listen to the very important message from the book of James about our need to "Get Outside".

We are back in our study of the book of James. Today we will be learning about the muscle that can move mountains. What is the strongest muscle in our bodies? Pound for pound, it would either be the quadriceps or the glutes, but James tells us that the strongest muscle in our bodies is our tongue. He tells us in 3:2 that if we could control/tame our tongues, then we would be perfect. Wouldn't that be nice?!

Happy Resurrection Sunday!! Thank you for watching online today as we worship the risen Lord for He is risen, He is risen, indeed. In this message we will see what God can do with our surrender. His will is not always easy, but it's always good.

As we continue our study, highlighting passages of scripture through the book of James, we come to our next section in James 2. The title of the message comes from the thought process of those who go camping or backpacking, where you pick up all your mess, don't take anything with you, so that all of those who come after you, won't be able to tell that you were there in the wilderness. But you see, that is not what happens when God moves in to your life when you get saved. You will definitely be changed.

We begin an overview study in the book of James in this message called "The Call Of The Wild." It takes a lot of work to stay wild. We will see what it takes to stand our ground and why it is so important to do so, besides God telling us to.

In this final chapter of Jonah, we see that it's just weird. We have a cliffhanger. We don't know the end of the story. Yet, there is much to say in this chapter for us today. We all have had our emotions get the better of us. How do we deal with that? We are often tempted to trust our emotions and our heart before we trust God. That will only lead to misery. We must trust the Lord with our whole heart and lean not on our own understanding (or emotions), then God will direct our paths.

We continue our series in Jonah, by coming to chapter 3 and seeing living proof that God is not done with you. Even if you stray from the Lord, God is not done with you. Jonah 3:1 tells us that the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time. Praise the Lord for a God that gives second chances. Well, let's be honest: second, third, ninety-third, etc. chances.

We are in our second week in the study of the life and book of Jonah. Last week we saw that Jonah didn't want to go to Nineveh, so he ran as far from Nineveh as he possibly could, Tarshish. Storm comes and Jonah is thrown overboard and a fish swallows him. Now, he starts praying, but God doesn't immediately answer. So what do we do when we are waiting on God?

We are starting a new series on the life and the book of Jonah. If all you think it is about is a man and a whale or big fish, you are missing out on a whole lot of applicable things to us. In this message, we will be learning what we shouldn't do when God calls us to a particular task.

We have finally made it to the end of our study on the Sermon on the Mount. As exciting as that may be, we must not take Jesus' final words as easy, for they are hard, they are important. Jesus is still speaking to those who consider themselves religious. They are the ones who go to church and give, and they might even be in positions of leadership, but they do not have the right foundation. They have been deceived, either by a false teacher or themselves. Jesus warns us of empty hearts. We need to be doers of the Word of God and not hearers only.

We are coming close to the end of our sermon series on the Sermon on the Mount. In this message, we will be dealing with those who have empty words. That means, that they say one thing, but they don't believe it. They may call God the Lord of their life, but they do not truly believe it. They have been self-deceived by their own self-righteousness. That will never get them to heaven. We need to make sure that we do not have empty words.

This is the service from this morning. We are in our series on the Sermon on the Mount. Today we are covering Jesus' warning to us to Beware of False Prophets. We have been warned so we need to watch out for them. They are dangerous and deceitful and many other things. This message will tell you how to watch out for them and how to tell who is a false prophet.

As we are nearing the end of our study of Christ's great Sermon On The Mount, we come to the apex, the climax, of the message. Jesus has be comparing two ways of life throughout this message, human accomplishment vs. divine accomplishment. The human kind is all about how self-righteous a person is, doing all they can to make their own way to Heaven or their version of it. The divine kind is resting in that God has already done it and we can't add to it. Those that follow the divine will make it to heaven, those that don't, will not, no matter how 'religious' they are. There is only one way to heaven. Which way are you on? Which way will get you to heaven?

We are doing an in-depth study of the Sermon on the Mount, the greatest sermon by the greatest Preacher, Jesus Christ. Last week, we covered the first 6 verses of chapter 7 and we learned that we are to Stop Judging others. Today we will look at the next 6 verses and see that we are to love one another. Now, what's interesting is that the word "love" in not found in this passage, but it definitely is describing love. How do we love one another? Wholeheartedly! Listen, as we dive into "Start Loving."

Yes, we are still in our series on the Sermon on the Mount, but we have learned a lot over the last several months as we took a deep dive into this passage. This message will be no different. We are digging in one of the most quoted verses in the Bible, Matthew 7:1 (NKJV) - "Judge not, that you be not judged." There is a lot of misconceptions about that verse, which we will talk about today, but we are going to see that many have the wrong view of God, the wrong view of others, as well as a wrong view of self. What we need is the right balance.

We continue our series, as we deep dive into Jesus' Sermon On The Mount. In this message we are going to finish out chapter 6 by looking into what Jesus was referring to when He told us not to worry about stuff. We are going to see 4 things that worry is from this passage: unfaithful, unnecessary, unreasonable, and unwise. Join us as we learn that we need not worry about every little thing, or even the big things.

As we continue our series on the Sermon on the Mount, we come to Matthew 6:19-24. God wants all of His children to keep their eyes on the right treasures, the right vision, and on the right master. Seeing that there are right versions of all of these, means that there are wrong ones as well. It takes observation, discernment and dedication to make sure that we are eyeing the right prize.
As we get back to our series on the Sermon on the Mount, we come to everyone's favorite topic, fasting. Now, biblical fasting has nothing to do with losing weight, and all that intermittent fasting. It has all to do with worshipping God and seeking His will, direction, protection, etc. in our lives. This message will show us from God's Word what true fasting is all about.

As we pause in our series on the Sermon on the Mount for the last Sunday before Christmas, we are going to cover, "Waiting on God". People have been waiting on God's timing for millennia. We are going to see in our message today that when it seems that God is not doing anything, He is doing something. Whether it be in the situation or in you, God is doing something. God's delays are not God's denials. We just need to be patient and wait on the Lord.

Last week we learned from Jesus' message how we should not pray, now He goes into how we should pray. We will see that when we pray we should be praying for God's glory, man's needs, and God's supremacy, all while making sure that we work on forgiveness of others.

As we continue through the Sermon on the Mount, we come to a portion of Scripture where Jesus teaches us how not to pray. There were those in His day (as well as some in ours) who wanted people to think of them as spiritual as they prayed, whether they used big, verbose words, or that they prayed really long prayers, or other things, their goal was not to commune with God, but to please men. God says that for those who do so, that's all the reward that they will get.

When we do a good deed, it is not to be heralded, it is to be done on the down-low, maybe even hidden. We should not do good deeds only when others can see it and we get praise from it. It should be done for the glory of God, not for the glory of man or especially not for the glory of ourselves.

We are just now finishing up the Matthew 5 in our series on The Sermon On The Mount. Today we are dealing with the last part of the law that Jesus expounded upon. The law says to love your neighbor as yourselves. The religious leaders of the day made a sin of omission by making it easier on themselves by removing the "as yourselves." Then they had a sin of addition where they added to the law that they had every right to hate your enemies. That command is found nowhere in the Bible. Then Jesus totally rocked their world of thinking by telling them that they should love their enemies. Yes, He addressed the Jews of His day, but He is addressing us as well.

As we are nearing the end of Matthew 5, Jesus is expounding yet another law from God's Word, that of the law of retaliation (an eye for an eye). He takes this law of retaliation and he expounds on it for us to not be so quick to take vengeance, instead to sacrifice a little bit of our right to vengeance and forgive them, even allow it to go further. That's why we see Him tell us to turn the other cheek, give them your cloak as well, go the extra mile, and to give to the one who asks. All of these teach us that as followers of Christ, we need to let God take care of our offenses.
As we get back to our series on the Sermon on the Mount, we come to Matthew 5:33-37. We see that Jesus brings up the law of not swearing falsely and whatever oath you make, to fulfill it. This idea does not have to do with cussing, but about being a person of your word. That is why I titled this message "Be a Person of Integrity." We need to be people who will say what we mean and mean what we say. We should be truthful enough that our word should be enough for others to believe.

We are closing out our sermon series of "Under God?" by looking into "Liberty and Justice." Another way of saying "liberty" is "grace." Another way of saying "justice" is "truth." When Jesus came to this earth, He came with grace and truth. Therefore, as followers of Jesus, we also should be going about our lives with grace and truth.

In this message we continue our series of "Under God?" If you will recall, we are not really going all political, but we are seeing how we, as believers, are to interact with the world and with each other in the midst of an ever increasing hostility towards God and the things of God. This message is titled "Indivisible." It will speak to how we as the body of Christ need to be indivisible, set aside the attitude of division. We need each other and we will love each other as Jesus loved us.

We take a short break from our series on the Sermon on the Mount to talk about what dominates the headlines doesn't have to dominate our hearts. There's only one name that can bring the world together, and you won't find it on a ballot. We need to discover the hope and freedom we've been given Under God. Instead of focusing on politics, this series will ask what it really means for Christians around the world to be under God.

Harold Rinehart shares with us why we need God. What makes us actually make a difference in our lives? It's not just wanting to be different than we are, that's just not enough.

We continue our study in Matthew by looking into Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. We covered the beatitudes over the last several weeks, and we will continue to study the sermon. In this message we will see that those who are living the life laid out in the beatitudes are the salt and light of this world. What does that mean? How can we be salty (and I am not talking about being bitter or cantankerous) and light in this world? We will answer these questions and more in this sermon.

This is part 2 of the last Beatitude in our series. As was stated last week, persecution is not something that most of us experience in America. There are those around the world who experience it almost daily for their belief in God. Yet, if we live out the beatitudes of Matthew 5, we will be lovingly confrontational to this world's beliefs. As a result we will be reviled and persecuted.
Persecution is not something that most of us experience in the United States of America. At least, not to the extent that some of our brothers and sisters in Christ around this world. But why is that? Is it that our country is more accepting of God? Or is it because we are not living out the godly life that God calls us to? If we are living out the beatitudes that we have been talking about over the last several weeks, we will be oppositional to this world's beliefs. As a result we will be shunned, talked about, even persecuted. "Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." - Matthew 5:10 (NKJV)

The more that we activate these principles in our job place, the more God-pleasing we will be, where He will get the glory.

Today, we have guest speaker, Harold Rinehart bringing the Word of God to us today. May you be challenged and encouraged. He spoke from Romans 12:1-2 about how we are to be growing in our relationship with the Lord. We can't just be doing nothing thinking that since God loves them just as they are that they don't need to progress in growing closer to Him. That's heresy. That's a false gospel. We are expected to mature as a believer.
Today, we have guest speaker, Harold Rinehart bringing the Word of God to us today. May you be challenged and encouraged. He spoke from Romans 12:1-2 about how we are to be growing in our relationship with the Lord. We can't just be doing nothing thinking that since God loves them just as they are that they don't need to progress in growing closer to Him. That's heresy. That's a false gospel.

As we close out this series on You in Five Years, we will look at what we can do and how to handle the "What if...?" We will look at the life of Joseph as he doesn't get where he wanted to be, where God showed him he would be until much later than 5 years. We must still trust in God no matter what!

As we continue our series about You in Five Years, today we look at when we need to start implementing the decisions we need to make in order to get where we need to get. The answer is now! But it seems that we are all too busy to do it. Today we will look at what we need to do in order to stop being so busy and start doing what we need to do in order to get where God wants us to be in five years.

We are in our 3rd week of our series, "You In Five Years." One of the best things we can do to be drastically different is make small changes that will take hold of that compound interest that we talked about in the first week. Something small that over time will lead to something amazing. You don't have to be a Billy Graham in your witness. Just start with one. You don't have to be a health guru, just start with limiting your biggest craving. One by one, they add up, to make a difference in 5 years. As the old proverb says, "The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."

As we continue our series "You in Five Years," we look at the life of Elisha and learn how we can create opportunities to grow in our walk with the Lord. But growth requires change and most people don't like change. If you don't change you will be the same person in 5 years, and for most people that isn't a good thing. So listen how we can change when there isn't a crisis going on in our lives at that moment.

Happy New Year!! We are glad to have you worship with us to start out this new year. This sermon begins a new series called "You In Five Years." What do you want to see in your life in the next five years. That is a lot of time that a lot of things can happen. Today we talk about "The Life You Get Stuck With." You can get stuck in your life if you don't choose to do anything different. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Unless you change your thinking, goals, things that you do, nothing will change.

We close our series on "Doubting God" by looking into what we should do "When You Feel Abandoned By God." Things come up in our lives and we think, "If God loves me, then this wouldn't have happened," or "If God is good, why does He allow bad things to happen?" The thoughts can go on and on, but we need to remember when we feel alone or that God has forsaken us that God is always with us. As believers we should turn our "Why, God?" questions to "What, God?" As Spurgeon states and as the old song sings, "When you can't trace His hand, trust His heart."

As we continue our series about "Doubting God," we learn today that we can believe science and God at the same time. God created science. Science and the Bible do not have to be in competition with each other, they can be cooperative. St. Augustine's teaching on this basically says, "The conflict comes from either misunderstanding science or misinterpreting the Bible."

We continue our series "Doubting God" by looking into what to do "When Christians Let You Down." Why is it that some so-called Christians get it wrong? We will answer that question today, as well as challenge us from God's Word as to not be hypocrites.
Insecurities, we all have them about something in our lives. Usually we use them as proof of why we shouldn't be used by God for something, we just don't think that we are qualified. Insecurities, we all have them. God wants us to face them and see that in spite of our insecurities, He can use us for His glory. God specializes in using the "unqualified" for His purposes.

Today we conclude our series on a few of the Miracles of Jesus. We will look at the disciples as they are in the midst of a storm on the Sea of Galilee, and Jesus is sleeping in the boat after a full day of preaching and ministering to people. They wake Jesus up, thinking that they were about to die and Jesus was going to do nothing about it. We do the same thing. We think that when we go through a difficult time in our lives that God is sleeping, that He's silent. Today we will see that He is with us through the storm and we are there because God has a purpose for us in the midst of the storm.

As we pray for miracles in our lives, sometimes, they just might need some movement from us. It's not that we have any power to make a miracle or not, it's just that we need to have faith in the Lord and are being obedient to Him as well.

Are you facing something so overwhelming that only a miracle can change it? Do you even believe in miracles? They've happened before and can happen again. We begin this series with a familiar account of Lazarus being resurrected. What we need to do when we are waiting for a miracle is be patient. God works in His timing.

This week, we will complete our study in II Timothy 1 and what it means to be unashamed of Jesus Christ. In order to be unashamed, we must learn to realize what our duty is as Children of God. We must also trust our security in Him. We also must affirm our doctrine from God's Word. Then, finally, we need to choose our associates carefully, for you are who you hang out with. Join us as we come to a close on this challenging series.

As we continue our series, we will see multiple reasons why we should never be ashamed of Jesus or the Gospel. Paul is telling Timothy and us in II Timothy 1, that we need consider our resources. Verse 7 tells us that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but instead He has given us His Holy Spirit which comes with power, love, and discipline. We also need to accept persecution, because it will come. Then He tells us to remember God Himself and all He has done.

One of the most potent offenses against anxiety and worries is prayer. Pray should never be our last option. Prayer not only moves the heart of God but it also, literally, changes our brains. In this message, we will learn how to give God our worries and leave them with Him, because He can deal with them a whole lot better than we can.

We continue our series on "Winning the War In Your Mind" by looking at how we are to deal with the negative thoughts in our mind. It doesn't matter how successful or decent your life may be, we can all still complain about something. Instead of focusing on the negative, we need to reframe our thinking to the way that God and His Word would have us to think. We are to think on that which is good and lovely and pure and more according to Philippians 4:8.
We continue our series on "Winning The War In Your Mind," by looking at how we need to renew our minds. Scripture explicitly states that the way to renew our minds is to think on that which is pure and holy and the like from Philippians 4:8. God's Word is all of those things, and that is what is going to renew our minds, so we can take it back from our sinful self, and win the war in our minds.

Today we start a new series on winning the war in your mind. Most of our life's battles are won or lost in the mind, so it is important for us to strengthen our mind in the Lord. It is so easy to get caught up in the worries and negativity of this world. God would have us to be peaceful and more positive, but mostly, eternal minded. This message is about how God can win the constant war in our minds.
Last week we looked from several different books of the Bible on how the Bible speaks for itself and its sufficiency. We don't need anything else along with His Word to live life here on this earth. Today, we will look at God's own testimony about His Word's sufficiency.

Sufficient, when speaking of God's Word, means it is enough, it's all that we need. God has given us everything that we need to live our lives on this Earth until we go to Heaven. Our capability of living in God's plan to the max is from Him and His Word.

As we close our series on What Jesus Would Undo, we are going to see that He wants to undo spiritual pride in our lives. It is similar to hypocrisy but it's the attitude that we are self-sufficient, self-important, and that we participate in self-exultation. Jesus wants to undo all of that, and have us empty ourselves of us so that we can be filled up by God's grace and be used by God.

What Would Jesus Undo? He would undo the hypocrisy in our lives. Hypocrisy is not the inconsistency between what we do and what we wish we could do. Hypocrisy is the gap between what we show and who we really are. Jesus doesn't want that in our lives. He was constantly against the Pharisees of His day, mainly because they were hypocrites. If we have in our lives, we have to remove it, no matter how much it hurts.

Did you ever get a chocolate bunny or something like it, and come to find out, it was hollow? Something was missing. Unfortunately, many times our worship has something missing. True worship that moves God comes not from the right kind or style of music, but from a heart that desires to please God. Today, we will see what it means to have hollow worship, and what we can do to make fuller.

Over 100 years ago a novel was written by Charles Sheldon called "In His Steps." In it the popular question was coined, "What would Jesus do?" In this series, we are going to ask a different question, "What would Jesus undo?" There are things that are going on the lives of many Christians that would be considered them spiritually indifferent. We will talk about what causes it, what are some indicators of it, as well as one thing that will help us get out of Spiritual Indifference.

This is the first of 7 messages on this topic, and we hope that you will commit to be with us for all the messages as they are important to all of us. Pre-decide today, so you can Take Back Your Life.
He is risen! He is risen indeed! Happy Resurrection Sunday! As we come to a close in our series "Easter People," we will look at how Jesus meets with two guys on the road to Emmaus to correct their wrong thinking and give them what they need.

This Friday is referred to as Good Friday. Why is that? It is because Jesus Christ died on the cross. I know that doesn't sound good, but because Jesus died on the cross, that was when everything changed. Because Jesus died, we now have access to God through His perfect sacrifice for us. Jesus' crucifixion has changed our past, our future and our present.

We continue our series, "Easter People," by looking at Thomas. We know him as doubting Thomas. Isn't that a bit unkind? To remember him for a bad thing that he had done? He did other things very well, yet we only remember him for his one bad thing. We will look at Thomas and what else he could be named.

As we continue our series on "Easter People," we look today at the disciples, but specifically when they were locked up in a room where Jesus appeared right in the middle of them. The middle is the hardest part of any task or journey. The beginning is fun and the end is fulfilling, but the middle is where drudgery can set in. When you are in the middle, we can get testy, frustrated, and doubt may set in. Jesus shows up in the middle, as He tells us that He will never leave us or forsake us.

We are starting our Easter series today, by looking into some of the important people surrounding the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The first one that we are going to be looking at is Mary Magdalene. Who is she? What did she do? Why did she do it? We will answer these questions in this message titled "The Show Must Go On."

We all have asked God to do something for us, that He didn't do. Does that make Him less than what God should be? No. Does that mean that He let me down? Maybe? No, He didn't let you down, because He's still in your corner cheering you on. He wants you to succeed in this life. Because He didn't do what you wanted Him to do when you wanted Him to do it, does not mean He let you down. He is with us and will never forsake us.

God commands us to forgive one another. That includes that person who hurt you or your loved one. That includes the ex who emotionally abused you. That includes the parent who didn't show their love to you, and instead physically abused you. That includes everyone who has done anything against you or someone you love. To forgive them doesn't mean that you belittle the hurt. We are to forgive them as much as God has forgiven us, which, by the way, if you didn't know, is everything. This message could offend you, but I pray that it is a message that will, instead, set you free from unforgiveness.

Have you noticed how easily angered we are today? When we are so easily angered, we can find ourselves becoming bitter against who we are angry with. That doesn't help anyone. Bitterness is like drinking poison and expecting it to hurt the other person. It doesn't work like that, it really only hurts us. In this message, we will learn how to kill the root of bitterness in our lives. It won't be easy, but following God isn't always easy. If we are able to let go of that bitterness, we can truly enjoy our walk with God so much more.

"I'm right and you are not. My way is smart, yours is dumb." These are the thoughts of people who think that they are always right. The problem with always having the need to correct or just yell at someone for not being right (in your eyes) is that Jesus never called us to be right. He called us to be loving. Who cares if you are right, if you are not loving and kind? Our desire to be loving should be more prevalent in our lives than our desire to always be right.

You know who "Those People" are. They are the ones who annoy you like crazy. They get so easily offended or mad. They could be your co-workers, your boss, your in-laws, people from your church, or they could be you. How did Jesus deal with "Those People"? How are we to deal with "Those People"?

In this message, we bein our next series called "No Offense." We are starting the series by looking at how we need to "Stop Being Offended." Our culture loves to be offended, unfortunately, some Christians do too. As with last series, we are looking at the way that Jesus lived, not just the truth that He preached, which is important, but to be more like Him we have to see how He was able to not be so easily offended.

You've been there. I've been there. We pray for something with all of our heart and God doesn't answer our prayer the way that we want Him to, so we give up on prayer. "God answers other's prayers, why doesn't he answer mine?" we ask ourselves. In this message, we will look at how Jesus prayed and the lessons that apply to us. Remember, God has a better way for us to live, and a better way of praying.

In a world that is full of entertainment and 'stuff', we are so easily distracted from the way that God would have us to live our lives. In this message we will look at 3 things from Hebrews 12 that, if we put them into practice, will help us to not live a distracted life.

Too often, we are bombarded with our failures of our past as well as with the "what ifs" of our future. The problem with that is, if we are too focused on our past or our future, we will totally miss what is happening right now. We need to be present, to be here, right now, in this moment. We're not talking about not planning for the future or learning from our past, but we are talking about being present in the now. If you are able to do that, then your best days are now!

For some people, it is hard to have time to do the stuff that you want to do, at least you think so. You will always make time to do the things that you want to do. But sometimes, that leads us to a life of constant busyness, that's not what God wants from us either. He does call us to rest. We need it. If we do not slow down on our own, He may have to make us slow down.

The word worship is used a lot in the Bible, over 170 times. The word "shechah" in Hebrew means "worship," but more than that, it means to "kneel in worship." In this message, we will see three different ways that we can kneel in worship to God Almighty.

How are we supposed to pray when we are in the middle of a trial? How can we worship Him when things are good? God calls us to pour our hearts out to Him, even if it's in frustration. God can handle it. Hopefully as your worship Him through your pain, it will turn to praise.

When the Wise Men came to see Jesus from afar, they came to worship Him. They worshipped Him by bringing gifts to Jesus, gold, frankincense, and myrrh. When we come to worship God, we need to bring gifts to Him, too. We can bring our gifts of material possessions, but most importantly, we give Him the ultimate gift of our lives.

Christians need to stop going to church. I know that sounds totally wrong, but if you tune in to this message you will see what we mean by that. We are called to BE the church, not to simply GO to church, but BE the church.

Once you realize that I'm Invited, and then that I'm Invaluable, and finally that I'm Influential, the natural response for the child of God is that I'm Invested. Yes, this is a message about giving, but for the child of God, this is just a part of what God desires from us. Does God need our money? No, but if we fail in this area, we are hurting ourselves and those to whom we could be a blessing. Don't rob God, nor yourself by not being generous with what God has given you.

So many times, we think we have to have a big following on social media in order to be an influencer, but according to God, we are called to be an influence in the lives of those around us, no matter our follower numbers. You never know how a simple act of kindness could effect someone else. You already have influence in other's lives, but what are you influencing them towards?

As we continue our series on "I'm In," we will dig into "I'm Invaluable." Invaluable does not mean 'not valuable,' but the opposite. We are immensely of worth to God and His plan for His Church. If you are not a part, a member of a church, I encourage you to find a church a become a part so you can use your talents and gifts in the body of Christ.

Today begins a new series and we're calling it, "I'm In". For the next few weeks, each message will start with "I'm In-". There is not much greater joy knowing that you have been invited, included. After Christ died for our sins on the cross, we have been invited to a relationship with Christ. What have you done with your invitation?

This morning we have Betty Fey, missionary to NYC, with us. Also, we will be covering "Fishers of Men." God has a plan for reaching this world, and we need to follow it. Unfortunately, we don't usually follow it. We have been called, everyone who is a child of God, to reach out into this world with God's glorious Gospel.

In this world, there isn't much thankfulness and gratitude. God has called us to be grateful in all seasons of life. When we are grateful, we choose to let go of grudges and hurts, which leads to happiness and true joy.

At some point in our lives, we feel like giving up, especially in our spiritual life, our walk with God. It's hard, it's difficult, but God wants us to press on. In this message we will look at what it means to persevere.

There are those who think that when you follow God that all their problems will disappear, or at least not be so devastating. But that is simply not true. Not once does Jesus tell us that our lives will be a bed of roses, instead He said that in this world, we will have troubles.

We begin a new series about "Things Jesus Never Said." We begin with "You Don't Have To Forgive Them." Many people think that if they have been done wrong or hurt, they have the right to hold a grudge, to become bitter about it.
