Unstoppable Message
Dec. 27, 2009 - We all have heard the words, "you're not good enough," "you will never measure up," and "you don't have what it takes." Those are hurtful, destructive and debilitating words. But the truth is, we really "don't have what it takes!" When we finally come to that realization, coming to the end of ourselves, that is when God takes over to produce His competence in us.
The Gift of Peace
Dec. 20, 2009 - So what does it mean to experience God's peace when life's circumstances are not cooperating? Are you stressed out this Christmas season? Are you already thinking about doing things differently next year? What can beat the gift of peace? Join us this Sunday as we celebrate and worship the Prince of Peace.
Mighty God
Dec. 13, 2009 - Mighty God
God's people were struggling spiritually, economically, morally under ungodly leadership. God speaks through Isaiah the Prophet to encourage them that He would be sending the greatest gift in history in the form of a little baby who is described as "mighty God" (Isaiah 9:6).

The Gift of Wisdom
Dec. 6, 2009 - The Gift of Wisdom
Christmas gifts come and go. But god gave us a gift on that first Christmas morn that never goes out of style, and never loses the power and never wears out. That little baby, born in a manger, was described by Isaiah as "Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." What Jesus brought with Him, on that first morning, is still available to those who choose to receive.

The Call To Thankfulness
Nov. 22, 2009 - The Call to Thankfulness
Ten lepers were healed. Only one gave thanks. Were the other nine thankful? In their hearts, I'm sure that they were thankful. Who wouldn't be, after being relieved of such a devastating disease. Their problem was in their failure to express their thankfulness. God "calls" us to give thanks in everything.

The Call to Compassion
Nov. 15, 2009 - How easy is it to walk by someone in need? To drive by a stranded driver? To ignore the least and the lost in our world? To say that I care, and refuse to act, means that I do not care at all. God has called us to compassion, that quality that cannot help but do something to make a difference.
Finding Your Missing Peace
Nov. 1, 2009 - Matthew 5:9-12...Happy are the peacemakers... Peacemakers are never out of place and have never been needed more in our fractured world. Peace in our time is possible and Jesus showed us the path that ultimately brings happiness. Listen as we investigate God's principles for keeping the peace.
Be Pure of Heart
Oct. 25, 2009 - Matthew 5:8 Happy are the pure in heart... Why are the pure in heart so happy? They get to experience God on a deeper level. Jesus was never impressed with outward appearances and superficial religion. He has always been most concerned with who we are on the inside in our character.
Be Mercy Full
Oct. 18, 2009 - Happy are the merciful... We cannot experience true happiness unless we learn to love those who suffer distress. Just as our Heavenly Father has been merciful to us, He expects us to be merciful to others (Matthew 6:12). Showing mercy to the least is Jesus' path to happiness (Matthew 25:31-46)."
Be Ravenous
Oct. 11, 2009 - Happy are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness... When it comes to spiritual food, what explains your appetite? Are you a voracious eater or picky? Do you eat balanced meals or are you addicted to sweets and junk food? Does someone have to spoon feed you, or do you know how to feed yourself?
Be Low
Oct. 04, 2009 - Meekness is not wimpy, but actually it is "strength under control." Meekness in Jesus' day was considered a vice, not a virtue. But God values humility! Jesus came as the suffering Messiah with an agenda as foreign then as it is today. Jesus is proclaiming that true happiness is for the humble, the meek and the selfless. When we make ourselves low, God will lift us up in his time and we begin to learn to enjoy "The Only Path to Happiness."
Hope In The Mourning
Sept. 27, 2009 - Happy are those who mourn... Christians suffer grief, but not like those who have no hope. There is something significantly different about the mourning of those who go through the pain of suffering with a conscious awareness of the presence of God.
Be True
Sept. 20, 2009 - Americans want rights to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Most people are not happy with their jobs, their marriages or their own bodies. We have more stuff, longer lives and all the conveniences that should contribute to happiness. Jesus, in what is considered the greatest sermon ever preached, gives us eight keys to happiness. The first one is the key that unlocks all the others. Join us as we learn what it means to be "poor in spirit."
Liberated Prayer
Sept. 13, 2009 - Ephesians 6:18-20
"Liberated" = "To be set free." Little prayer, little power. Much prayer, much power. Every Christian is aware that prayer is important, but few feel like they have found the sweet spot of daily dependence on God through a personal, ongoing conversation. Do you have room for growth in your prayer life? Don't miss this message.

Liberated Doubt
September 6, 2009 - Hebrews 10:35-11:1; John 8:36
"Liberated" = "To be set free." Doubt can cause us to become immobilized in our faith. We become double-minded in our thinking and we cannot choose a path. Doubt leads to second guessing and questioning without resolve. Doubt is a roadblock to spiritual growth. What do we do when doubts block our path? Be empower to overcome those irritating and pesky doubts.

Liberated Sex
August 30, 2009 - Genesis 1:3; Ephesians 5:1-6; 1 Thessalonians 4:1-6
"Liberated" = "To be set free." God is the Designer of sex and He declared that it is good. Sex as God intended has been abused and misused to the degree that people either worship sex, or dismiss it as altogether evil. Listen as we expose the truth of God's plan for sex and discover true freedom by God's design.

Liberated From Fear
August 23, 2009 - "Liberated" = "To be set free." How can we be set free from debilitating fear, worry and anxiety? How can we boldly move forward when our emotions are telling us to retreat and isolate? It has been said that "fear makes cowards of us all." This week we learn how to overcome fear and step out in liberating faith.
Liberated Ego
August 16, 2009 -
"Liberated" = "To be set free." The Bible says that "pride goes before destruction." From the beginning of time, pride and ego have competed with humility and selflessness. This week we learn how to win the battle against pride so that we can serve God joyfully and wholeheartedly.

Fearing God in Reverence & Awe
August 9, 2009 - As we come to a close with our "FEARLESS" sermon series, Pastor Jathan will turn the tables and tell us how being fearless can be a BAD thing. When it comes to our relationship with God we are told to fear Him. Proverbs 1:7 says that "the fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom." So what does it mean to fear the Lord, and why is that a good thing? What does it look like to fear God?
"Life's Greatest Fear"
August 2, 2009 - We have fears of what the future may hold, whether if's fear of economic insecurity, political instability, the rampant moral bankruptcy of our society, or fragile health. But what is the gnawing fear that keeps us awake at night? The fear we rarely talk about.
"Say What You Need To Say"
July 26, 2009 - Psalms 60:4-6, 11-12; 2 Kings 6:15-17
There are dangers in holding back in an all out Spiritual war. We all want to cast fear aside and live a life of faith, but what if we haven't truly taken hold of what it means to both be prepared to love and to be prepared for battle? Listen and learn from the lives of Elisha, David and Jesus Christ as they face life's BIGGEST fears.

"I Fear" to "Why Fear"
July 19, 2009 - I Samuel 17
I n Numbers 13 & 14, twelve spies went into Canaan under the same orders, to the same places, at the same time, and came back with different advice. They reported the facts without faith.Israel's failure to enter the promised land is the classic example of how fear can limit our faith in what God wants to do.

Spiritual Warfare
July, 12 2009 - Ephesians 6:10-18
There is more going on in our world than what can be seen with human eyes. The Bible makes it clear that there is a battle being waged in the unseen world that is more real than what takes place in the "seen" world. We need to understand that we are not alone and God has given us everything we need to win the spiritual battle that has eternal consequences.

Working Influence
July 5, 2009 - Ephesians 6:5-9
Since a major portion of life is spent in the workplace, we need to consider the difference that Christ can make where we work. If you have ever felt unappreciated and treated like a slave at work, this message is for you. We will be learning Biblical principles to help us not just survive, but thrive in the workforce.

When It's Time to Move Mountains
June 28, 2009 - Matthew 17:14-20
Dr. Rob McClelland shares how with God, a little faith goes a long ways. How little? Jesus said, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed..." The size of our faith doesn't matter as much as the quality of our faith.

King
June 21, 2009 - Healthy Relationships
Ephesians 6:1-2
What does it means to be a father and head of the home. Dad's can either be the king of a rickety shake or with God's help they can build an impenetrable fortress for the protection of there family. What is the God ordained duty of a father? What is our duty as children?

Heaven In The Home
June 14, 2009 - Ephesians 5:21-33
This week we learn some timeless principles that work every time in bringing a touch of heaven into every marriage. With the divorce rate hovering at 50% and domestic violence plaguing our society, these principles have never been more needed, and yet more ignored.

Enlightened Relationships
June 7, 2009 - Ephesians 5:8-21
It is all about relationships, everything else is details! Jesus said the most important of all the commandments were our relationship with God and the other with man. If our relationship with God is right and our relationship with our fellow man is right, then life all falls into place.

Financial Margins
May 31, 2009 - Deuteronomy 28:12 Proverbs 25:28 2 Corinthians 9:6-8
We live in a consumer culture where few have learned what it means to have margins or space built into life. People are maxing out their credit. How can we learn to live "beneath" our means so that there are margins to cushion us during tough times, and margins available to help others in their times of need? Let's benefit from God's perspective and what the Bible's teaching on finances.
