The sermon underscores the need to make a deliberate decision to change one's mindset, as the beliefs held, whether they are based on truth or falsehood, can significantly impact one's future. Drawing from the biblical account in Numbers 13:33, where the Israelites viewed themselves as small and powerless compared to giants, the sermon highlights the destructive power of negative self-perception. Congregants are encouraged to identify these false beliefs and replace them with truths from the Word of God, emphasizing the importance of constant meditation on Scripture, as exemplified in Joshua 1:8. The series passage from Romans 12:1-2 is introduced to reinforce the message of transformation and alignment with God's will.

Paul and Silas being beaten, imprisoned, and in stocks serves as an example. Secondly, the sermon encourages congregants to actively create an environment conducive to miracles, drawing from the actions of Paul and Silas in prison. They prayed and sang hymns at midnight, signifying the dawn of a new day, illustrating that even in challenging times, new beginnings can emerge.

Pastor Tim Travis delivers a compelling sermon on the significance of establishing personal guardrails in our lives, drawing parallels to safety measures on a highway that guide and protect us from harmful paths.

He emphasizes that a person's legacy is not solely defined by their achievements or material possessions but by the impact they have on others, the love they share, and the values they uphold.The sermon transitions to the example of the Apostle Paul, who wrote letters and planted churches, including the one in Rome. Pastor Terry Mahan brings the congregation's attention to Romans 16, where Paul sends greetings and commendations to fellow believers, highlighting their service and character.Paul's list in Romans 16 is a powerful reminder that true legacy isn't about self-promotion but about impacting the lives of others. As Pastor Terry reads through the names mentioned by Paul, he showcases the diversity of individuals who contributed to the early Christian community, from co-workers to servants, prisoners to those who worked tirelessly for the benefit of others.Pastor Terry draws inspiration from 1 Corinthians 1:26-31, emphasizing that God deliberately chooses those whom the world often overlooks. He encourages the congregation to reflect on their own life's "one-liner" and stresses that their past does not have to define them.The sermon closes with Ephesians 2:8-10, a reminder that salvation is a gift from God, and we are His masterpiece, created anew in Christ to do the good things He planned for us.

In a two-week mini-series on serving, Pastor Terry Mahan kicks off the first sermon with a powerful message centered on the idea of serving as the greatest of all time (GOAT). He draws inspiration from the scripture in Mark 10:43,45, where Jesus teaches His disciples about the true essence of greatness through servitude.Pastor Terry Mahan reminds the congregation that Jesus Himself set the ultimate example of servanthood. Before the Passover celebration, as His hour to leave this world approached, Jesus expressed His love for His disciples in an extraordinary way. He washed their feet, an act of humility and service that left an indelible mark on their hearts.The sermon delves into the seven actions Jesus took while washing the disciples' feet, emphasizing the significance of each step. From getting up and removing His outer robe to kneeling down and washing their feet, Jesus demonstrated a profound commitment to humility and servitude.Pastor Terry encourages the congregation to embrace the spirit of humility and service in their own lives, just as Jesus did.

The essence of serving, he reiterates, is to follow in the footsteps of Jesus and exemplify His love to the world.As the sermon wraps up, the congregation is inspired to live out the message of servanthood in their daily lives, striving to be the GOAT in their service to others, just as Jesus was the greatest servant of all time.
In the seventh installment of the "When the Church Prays" sermon series, we had the privilege of welcoming guest speaker Paula Dannielle to the pulpit. Her message, titled "This One is On You," was inspired by the prayer of Jabez found in 1 Chronicles 4:9-10, where Jabez calls out to God for blessings, guidance, protection, and ultimately restoration.Drawing from this powerful prayer, Paula Dannielle emphasizes the importance of seeking God's blessing in our lives. Using Jabez's example, she encourages the congregation to call upon the God of Israel for His divine favor and blessings.The sermon breaks down Jabez's prayer into distinct aspects, highlighting how he called out for God to bless him, direct him, protect him, and ultimately restore him. Each element represents a significant component of our relationship with God and our reliance on His grace.Paula Dannielle reinforces the belief that, like Jabez, we can call upon the names of God, recognizing His various attributes, such as El Olam (the eternal God), Yahweh (the Lord), El Shaddai (Almighty), and more. Through these names, we can draw closer to God and approach Him with confidence.The heart of the message centers on acknowledging that certain situations in our lives are beyond our control, and we must rely on God's intervention. By calling upon the name Elohim (God), we express our trust in God's ability to handle the impossible, just as Jabez did.In closing, Paula Dannielle underscores the importance of entrusting our challenges and difficulties to God, recognizing that He is the God of all creation and the One who can grant our requests. The congregation is left with a powerful message of faith, encouraging them to call upon God and trust Him to handle the impossible situations in their lives.The sermon serves as a reminder that, in moments of uncertainty and difficulty, we can echo Jabez's prayer and say, "This one is on You, Lord," trusting in God's sovereignty and grace to lead us to blessings, guidance, protection, and restoration.

Rooted in the theme scripture from Romans 15:30, Pastor Terry ignites a profound exploration of the limitless power of faith-infused prayer.Starting with a thought-provoking quote borrowed from an Adidas advertisement, "Impossible is nothing," Pastor Terry delves into the biblical perspective on impossibility. He underlines that to God, the word "impossible" holds no weight, and through faith, it should mean nothing to those who understand their identity in Christ.Drawing inspiration from Ephesians 2:4-10, Pastor Terry Mahan reminds us of our union with Christ and our co-seated position in the heavenly realm. He asserts that nothing is impossible for God, and by extension, through faith, nothing is impossible for those who align themselves with Christ.The sermon challenges the congregation to consider their "impossibly difficult" circumstances and change their perspective. Pastor Terry encourages them to remove the limits they've placed on their lives and embrace the concept that impossibilities are, in fact, opportunities in disguise.Through compelling examples from the world of technology, architecture, and innovation, Pastor Terry illustrates the power of transcending the known solutions and knowledge to overcome "impossible" situations.He further emphasizes the importance of inviting God into the equation, referencing Jeremiah 32:17, which declares that nothing is too hard for the Lord. Through this, he encourages the congregation to place their trust in God and invite Him into their challenges, recognizing that with God, nothing is impossible.The sermon concludes with a call to trust and surrender, drawing inspiration from Jesus' prayer in Gethsemane. Pastor Terry Mahan encourages the congregation to follow Jesus' example of surrendering to the Father's will, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable circumstances.Pastor Terry leaves the congregation with a powerful challenge: to take their personal impossibilities and surrender them to the Specialist.
