Do You Hear What Angels Hear?

December 7, 2014 - The original Christmas was not a “silent night.”  There were animals baying and noisy neighbors and the crying of a woman giving birth. While the noisy drama was being played out on earth, can you hear the sounds of the angels? The sounds of sacrifice? The sounds of redemption?

Giving God Our Leftovers

November 30, 2014 - It’s no secret that the best part of Thanksgiving is considered the Left overs of food that we get to eat throughout the next couple of days. Sometimes left overs can enter into our Christianity by giving God the remainders of our day, time, and even year.  God wants more than our left overs, he wants our whole life. In fact he wants ALL of our love. Not just a buddy kind of love, not similar to the love of our favorite animal, but the kind of love he showed us by sending His Son to die a brutal death kind of love.

Crazy Purpose

October 26, 2014 - When you strive to carry out God’s purpose for your life, people will think you are crazy, bonkers.  Many will be church people who don’t want you to make them look back, to chill out. But God has a purpose for you to fulfill in this generation, and you don’t want to miss out.

Crazy Priorities

October 19, 2014 - God’s people became sloppy and undisciplined in their spiritual lives and as a result, the Temple of God church was neglected and became dilapidated.

Crazy Habits

October 12, 2014 - Europe is filled with keystones, the central stone in every arch. Arches support massive domes all because of the essential use of a keystone in construction.

Join us this Sunday as we investigate an essential spiritual discipline that strengthens us for every challenge.

Q-Tip Theology

October 5, 2014 - We only have two weeks left in Paul’s letter to Timothy and we are coming to the overarching crescendo.  Have you ever had the desire to take things out of Scripture?  Things that maybe make you sweat?  Things that make you upset?  Things that make you wonder why?  If you could change anything in Scripture, what would it be?  This Sunday we are going to play a little game.

8 Necessary Defenses Against False Teachers

August 31, 2014 - False teachers come in all shapes and sizes.  From turning on the TV and seeing men selling crystal blue holy water, to those that proclaim to be Jesus incarnate as they steal money and abuse people.  We live in a scary world that is very similar to the times of Paul and Timothy in the New Testament.  As we continue in our series 'Fan The Flame' we are going to be discussing the "8 Necessary Defenses Against False Teachers" that Paul says are the duties of every Christ Follower.

Write It on the Doorpost and Gates

May 11, 2014 - Being a parent is a huge task and call from God. Being a mom goes a little further into the Heart of God. Now, I am not swaying dads aren't important, but what I am saying is that moms hold a special place in the hearts of their children.
