Upright Priorities
September 25, 2011 - There is cost to being a follower of Jesus. Living upright means that we have God given priorities that supersede personal agendas. Jesus' call is a radical call to discipleship.
Upright Honor
September 18, 2011 - God not only sees what we do, but He also sees the inner motives of why we do what we do. This week we see Jesus' response to those who were at a social gathering, who were consumed with position and status and selfish personal gain.
Upright Future
September 11, 2011 - Jesus' life was being threatened by a terrorist named King Herod. Jesus recognized this terrorist, called him a fox, and refused to be intimidated or distracted. Jesus had a God given agenda, He knew who He was, and nothing would interrupt the completion of His task.
As we remember the terrorist attacks on the World Trade center and the Pentagon, we can learn from Jesus' example of how to respond to national or personal terrorists who desire to immobilize and intimidate by striking fear in the lives of the victims. Bring a friend for these life impacting services.

Upright Potential: The Narrow Door
September 4, 2011 - The door to heaven is narrow and few will enter. Why is that the case? Why can't everyone enter in? Can't we have an "all skate" when it comes to heaven? This is not just a nice theological discussion, because this teaching speaks to eternal destiny, not just for us, but for those we love; our families, our friends, our neighbors. Join us Sunday as we discuss this hot topic in Christian circles today.
The Great Restoration
August 28, 2011 - Upright Living in an Upsidedown World. Luke 13:10-20
All of us are crippled in some way. Some of us are crippled physically, some relationally, some financially, some emotionally. The longer we are crippled, the harder it is to believe that we can be healed and restored. Jesus called out and prayed for a woman who was crippled spiritually for eighteen years. She had probably given up hope, but that didn't stand in Jesus' way.

Upright Repentance
August 21, 2011 - Upright Living in an Upsidedown World - Luke 13:1-9
God has made it clear that repentance is the path to life. Why is that word so repulsive to so many? Why do we resist and fight for our own selfish way, when God has nothing but our best interests in mind? Wouldn't life go so much better if we would surrender our will to His will? Repentance is God's tool to turn an upside down world, upside right!

Life To The Full
August 14, 2011 - John 10:10, Philippians 3:12-14
Jesus said that He came so that we might have life and have it to the full. Isn't that encouraging? Don't you want that? But what is "life to the full", and how do we get it? We will explore this verse and others to see what it means to live an "abundant" life, and what steps we can take right here and now to live the kind of life Jesus came to give us.
