Rob Kelly – October 24th, 2021 Today’s choice is tomorrow’s story! For better or worse, the very stories that our lives tell today, were penned by the decisions we made yesterday. What is the secret to our lives being stories that point to Jesus? A life rhythm of consideration, agitation, and inspiration.
Jeff Maness – October 17th, 2021 As we approach a new year and enter a new season of ministry as a church, how do we move forward in the Battle? No matter what we face in life, God’s challenge to us is to be strong, get to work, God is with you, don’t be afraid!
Jeff Maness – October 10th, 2021 When it comes to speaking about Jesus, there is a fine line between boldness and being brash. Between bold and foolish. As we put on all the armor of God we are empowered to be bold by saying the right things at the right time in the right way...
Jeff Maness – October 3rd, 2021 Every piece of God’s armor is essential. Not one piece can be left out. It’s not enough to have some or even most of the armor of God, we need to armor up with all of His armor.
Jared Bayless – September 26th, 2021 We put our clothes on in a certain order otherwise there will be problems. We also do the same with putting on the armor of God. We pick and choose what to wear and we end up the Walking Wounded instead of the Battle-Ready Warrior. How can we go...
Jeff Maness – September 19th, 2021 All of life is a battle, not just the weekend, and our enemies are not flesh and blood enemies, they are enemies of the spirit. The great news is, through Jesus the victory has already been won. But even though the victory has been won there are still battles...
Jeff Maness – September 12, 2021 We all want to be in control of our own lives, but none of us are, right?. The reality is yesterday is gone and tomorrow is still to come, so today is the rest of my life. If today is the rest of my life, how do I engage...
Jeff Maness – August 29, 2021 God wants to draw close to us! That truth alone should shake us to our core. God wants to be close to me? But the problem is, when I am devoted to myself, I limit how close I can draw to God.
Jeff Maness – August 22, 2021 It’s one thing to say you believe a person could carry you across a tight rope, but it’s another thing altogether to actually let them do it. The same thing is true in our faith and the kind of faith God is looking for. A saving faith is much...
Jeff Maness – August 15, 2021 God’s wisdom is more than just knowledge from living life. That’s how we often view wisdom. Life experience, education, or information. But God’s wisdom is more than knowledge from living life, it’s necessary for living life.
Jeff Maness – August 1st, 2021 So many times we view troubles in our life as only obstacles to endure. And they are an obstacle, but could they also be an opportunity? Troubles in life are not just obstacles to endure, they are opportunities to experience, and James tells us what opportunities exist in our...
Brendan Anderson- July 25, 2021 What do we learn about generosity from Tabitha in Acts 9?
Brendan Anderson- July 11th, 2021 Our passions are surpassed by Jesus’ call to pursue; so what are we called to pursue? People! Not just those similar to us, but ones who differ greatly.
Jeff Maness – June 27th, 2021 What most of us want in our suffering is resolution. We want answers, healing, restoration, or removal of our problem. But while we want resolution, what we really need is to release some things in order to continue seeking God.
Jeff Maness – June 20th, 2021 We often don’t know how to relate to those who are suffering because we feel like we need to offer a solution. But what a sufferer needs is not a solution to their suffering, they need someone to serve them through it. So, from the story of Job, we...
Jeff Maness – June 13th, 2021 The reality is, we can’t stop suffering from coming; it’s coming for all of us. But we can choose how we will respond. And the way we respond to suffering could make all the difference in the world to us. Job reveals to us a response to suffering that...
Jeff Maness – June 6th, 2021 It’s easy for us to believe that the burdens and blessings in life are somehow tied to the way we live. That if I’m good, I deserve good, so if something bad happens, it must be something I did. But in our suffering, we need to remember that neither...
Kat Fiore – May 30th, 2021 We all have familiar ideas and beliefs that conflict with who Jesus is and who God calls us to be. “They worshiped the LORD, but they also…” What is keeping you from fully pursuing God?
Andy Hazelet- May 23, 2021 Have you ever experienced fear, worry, or anxiety? Many have experienced this recently, but all of us have or will experience these realities of life. But there is a better way. We don’t have to fret or fear. In this sermon, we will take a look at how Psalm 23...
Jeff Maness – May 16, 2021 Praising God is not just something we do for a few songs when we are at church on the weekend, and it’s not something we do only when things are going well. We can and should praise God even in the midst of our problems. Why? Because when we...
Jeff Maness – May 9, 2021 Compassion International is a child sponsorship organization that has a mission to release children from poverty in Jesus’ name. In this sermon, we take you on a trip to Ecuador (via video) where you’ll get to see the work of Compassion in action, meet children and families who Compassion...
Jeff Maness – May 2, 2021 Everyone wants a God of love, mercy, compassion, grace, and faithfulness. Everyone loves those parts about God. But the reality is, God’s love is only understood in the light of God’s justice. That without God’s justice and judgment, His love and grace don’t make sense.
Jeff Maness – April 18, 2021 Too often, we can place upon God the negative characteristics of our earthly Fathers. We believe something about Him that isn’t true, especially when bad things happen to us. However, not everything that happens to me is from God, but everything God does for me is good. So, what...
Jeff Maness – April 11, 2020 What’s so important about the name of God? Well, If God is real, and we believe He is, His name is of utmost importance because it describes who He is at the very core of His being. The name of God is just as important as the existence of...
Jeff Maness – March 28, 2021 What does it mean to honor the Lord? It’s more than just respect. Psalm 29 paints a majestic picture of a God who is all powerful, yet He also wants to speak into our lives, and help us in life. When we choose to honor God and hear his...
Brendan Anderson – March 21, 2021 It is predicted that by the year 2050, 35 million youth raised in Christian home will disassociate with the Christian faith. Praying for the future of the church starts with the children and teenagers in your church. To impact the next generation, What are the things we should be...
Jeff Maness – March 14, 2021 In today’s climate we all have something to say about our leaders, but do we all pray for them? And not just pray for OUR will to be done through them. The command to pray for our leaders does not depend on who is leading. So, how should we...
Jeff Maness – March 7, 2021 So often, our prayers never grow out of the personal and temporary nature of things. Sure, we can and should pray for our personal, even temporary needs. But prayer is not about getting more from God, prayer is about connecting more with God, and their are some specific prayers...
Jeff Maness – February 28, 2020 The most important prayer we can pray for one another as followers of Jesus is that we would live and lead our lives with purity and integrity. In a world of moral ambiguity and inconsistency, this is of utmost importance. But purity takes more than prayer; it needs the...
Jeff Maness – February 14, 2021 What am I praying for our church? If our prayers matter, and they do, we should be praying with an eternal mindset, not just a temporal one. In the book of Acts there is one verse, Acts 9:31, that forms one of the main prayers we should be praying...
Jeff Maness – February 7, 2020 It’s easy for us as Christians to thing that serving God’s Church is something we “have” to add on to our lives. That it’s another activity on the endless list of activities. But serving God’s Church is not an activity that we do, it’s an extension of who we...
Joe Sangl- January 31, 2021 We all want our dreams to come to true but more often than not our dreams are blocked by financial challenges. When people are financially free they are more likely to do exactly what they have been put on the earth to do. Most people believe the answer to their...
Jeff Maness – January 24, 2021 The solution to our busy and hurried lives is not more time. We often think it is, but it’s not. Just based on how we already live, if we had more time, we’d probably fill it up with more to do. So, the solution to hurry is not more...
Pastor Panel – January 17, 2020 The thought of returning to “normal” gave us a light at the end of the tunnel. A hope to look forward to. But what if normal was broken? Why would we want to go back? In this service we have invited a panel of pastors to look at some...
