How do we defend our faith without losing our minds?
This is the time of year where religion gets talked about with your friends or family. When it comes up, we begin to get nervous because we really don’t know how to defend our faith with those who don’t believe the way we do. Or we believe in different things so we just don’t bring it up.
It would be great if we would come up with a one liner in order to do this.
We want to help you with what to say when there is little time and even less interest.

Just because it's not wrong doesn't make it right. It's all about the timing. Right decision + Wrong Time = Wrong decision.
As we continue our series, Pastor Jason will be discussing on how wisdom is better than morals, smarts & success.
We face moral decisions daily. Should I or should I not cheat on my spouse? Should I or should I not gossip about someone to a friend? These black and white decisions, seemingly turn to gray. Then there are times when we face decisions that do not fit into the moral category. Should I take that new job or should we buy a new house? These are decisions that don’t have a right or wrong answer. So how do we make wise decisions? How do we know what is the right decision?
Week 2 unpacks the idea of what it takes to successfully navigate through the difficult stages of life.

But we can never forget that it is Christ who can guide us through the funhouse to His blessings on the other side!

The ocean of our existence teems with trials and temptations. Yet, in the midst of that truth, there are lessons God has in store for us that help us navigate the tumultuous waters. In this weekends message, Ps Jason looks at some powerful and inspiring words in the New Testament book of James, and helps us discover how temptation can actually help us cruise through life with confidence!
God wants us to swim with confidence through life and experience the freedom of life lived His way. But we all know that life doesn’t happen without encountering some hidden traps along the way. In this weekends message, Pastor Jason Gaszak takes us out to the open water and reveals God’s truth about the one thing we all face. By exposing our enemy’s tactics, Jason helps us learn exactly what we need to do and where we need to turn in order to avoid being reeled in by temptation.
Thankfully, the world we live in isn’t just black and white. God has given us all a colorful and vibrant existence. Colors are a crucial part of what we experience, and they remind us of the vitality life can have both here and forever. In this weeks message, Pastor Jason Gaszak breaks down some of the most prominent and powerful shades of the color pallet, and he shows us how they relate to the greatest story ever told – the gospel of Jesus Christ. This message will challenge everyone to take the next step into a vibrant and exciting life that focuses on God and His purpose for us!
Fishermen are known for the stories they tell about their adventures. After every fishing trip, they recount their experience and talk about the “big one” they caught, or perhaps the one that got away. The stories are all part of remembering what happened. In this series, Pastor Jason Gaszak takes us back to one of the greatest fishing stories ever told. In the retelling of this adventure, we discover that when we follow Jesus with all we are, our lives – like an amazing fishing adventure – can be a fishing trip to remember.
This just isn't working. Marriage is hard. Should it be this hard? Is this normal? I thought getting married would make us happier; feel more connected? I wanted to get married and be apart of something bigger than myself; to laugh with someone, build a life, buy a home and have children. I never expected to be here. It's not where I want to be or ever dreamed I'd be. It has to change, but am I willing? Am I willing to...to do...to do WHATEVER IT TAKES?

A table is a common household piece of furniture. It’s found in every restaurant in the world. But the purpose and power behind it may be much more than we realize. In this perspective-shifting new series, we discover that the role of the table in our lives and our place at it has the power to change everything in our lives and in our world.
