Biblical Text: John 21:15-17
Sometimes we are asked the question "Do you love me?" because we've never expressed our true feelings towards someone and that person wants to know. But sometimes we are asked this question because we've been unfaithful. When we have failed to prove our love for someone, it is difficult to know the answer to the question. This Sunday Pastor Troy examines when Jesus asked one of his most faithful followers this question three times after his disciple failed him miserably. Listen as we examine how this relates to each of us.

Getting annual checkups is part of a healthy living routine. We like knowing that all of our parts are working the way they should and we want to do what we can to make sure they continue to do so.

The beginning of each new year is a great opportunity to look back at all that God has brought us through. Good or bad, He was there through it all. 2017 is full of hope, but we know that it will also come with its fair share of headache, heartache and pain. How will we respond when faced with opposition from our enemy?

Too often we believe that Joy is unattainable because of life circumstances. In truth a lack of joy is usually an indicator that we are not as close to Christ as we need to be.

Biblical Text: Matthew 2:1-8
During the Christmas season we often see bumper stickers and signs that read, "Wise men still seek Him." Have you ever stopped to wonder why? This week we will look at the text and examine three reasons why the characters are seeking Jesus. We often find ourselves moving between the three categories, but there is one category that is where we should land.
